PS - before I get accused of being a 'commie' in this latest
round of discussions regarding bad corporate behaviour, I'd just
like to say that it was my understanding that believing the law
should not be broken is not how you define a communist.
Anything which is favourable to you, but not to corperations may
get you called communist. If you are that easily subdued you
might as well donate your money directly to the corporations.
Yes I am a communist, since I believe we should take proper care
of this planet instead of filling the pockets of a few wealty
people with paper.
While I have nothing against your embracing communism, as I believe
everyone should have the right to hold the beliefs they see fit, I do
not believe that communism is about taking "proper care of this planet
instead of filling the pockets of a few wealty people with paper". I
have seen communism first hand in China and it still amounts to giving a
select few enormous power over the many. Whether people are wealthy
through money or control of the military, human greed and ambition make
labels like capitalism and communism irrelevant, as there will always be
people trying to get to the top of the system, no matter what that
system may be.
If communism is about taking proper care of the planet then China
wouldn't be accelerating toward becoming the dirtiest place on the earth
right now.
Also, I am sick of being called a communist whenever I suggest that
corporations should be held to task. I don't trust anyone or anything,
so if you want to label me so that I fit into your small minded world,
then get it right and call me PARANOID. (not aimed directly at you Han,
just generally at those who wish to label me)
This philosophical discussion is outside of the scope of misc@ and very
unlikely to go anywhere productive, so I am pulling myself out of it.
Please don't reply. Thanks.
