    • i think socialism is the slow decay to any free society. death happens with all. think better to try and fight it as long as possible vs roll over and acceptdeathboy
    • death. isnt that what life is about. and jacobin while nicely designed has some of the worst writers. opinion and no backing. headlines with 2 page articlesdeathboy
    • that make no supporting arguments for the positions. again not too surprising since the material usually attracts the types that rather leave logic at the doordeathboy
    • But i do like Morning_Star definition of the best gov as a gridlocked system that gets nothing done. I agree with that. Be scared of any "achievement" touteddeathboy
