Should the Queen meet Martin McGuinness?

[Streathamite]

Didn't realise you saw yourself as a marxist - bit outdated ain't it?

oh v subtle...

 

[elbows]

Tune in next week when we review claims that Marx is out of date because modern antibiotics would have dealt with his carbuncles.

He wouldn't be half as cocky to anyone's face. Would be like seeing a waxwork of the real pretend thing.

 

[DotCommunist]

Sorry, Marxist-Leninist.

think thats an accusation of love for the Chairman

 

[Streathamite]

Sorry, Marxist-Leninist.

CERTAINLY not!!!
I follow the other main marxist school of thought

 

[butchersapron]

Only as part of a formal description/title of a party or tendency. Daft trots call themselves this too.

The SPGB? The Bakuninists?

[Streathamite]

The SPGB? The Bakuninists?

[Streathamite]

[Cid]

Visca POUM!

 

[butchersapron]

I thought that you said other main marxist school of thought? You may feel emotionally closer to them but you are not one of them. No way.

he's not 'one of us'

 

[krtek a houby]

What sort of childish fucking debate is this? Can you not go to a forum for the intellectually inadequate and stop bothering folk here? Thanks.

Ah, the snobbery. You're so informed you claimed I said something I didn't. Much like butcher's claims about Stalin, in fact. Your modus operandi is indistinguishable. I see you wade in time & time again like a glove puppet with nowt to say but angry with it. Neither of you are actually saying anything. I've heard more sense yelled by mad eyed prophets at Speakers Corner...

or the weeping of longinus when he put the spear of destiny in your side

 

[butchersapron]

One on, one off.

See, I thought you were above this kind of thing, dc. Take your 30 pieces of silver, then.

 

[krtek a houby]

One on, one off.

Now is not the time to discuss your habits

 

[DotCommunist]

do you want me to kiss you in the garden?

 

[butchersapron]

Oh no, he's got back up there again. Why don't we just knock it down?

 

[krtek a houby]

Nobody's ever called it that before. It's uphill all the way.

 

[krtek a houby]

Jesus is just as relevant today as before.

that is, not at all

 

[krtek a houby]

Nonsense, he's every bit as relevant as Marx in a thread about SF & your monarch. He preached equality, kicked the bankers out, spoke against the tax collector and stood up to the imperialists.

 

[Citizen66]

If Marxism is more relevant than ever, why is it not as rampant as capitalism?

Ignoring your comparing yellow flowers to red bricks, this doesn't infer that Marxism is irrelevent then?
