Nice to meet you Seraph. :)

Not surprisingly, I don't take the films as literally (or uncritically) as that, but it's all good. It's great that we seem to be getting a couple people back now, and...

I had to shorten it because it was initially too long to post. ...I can be the long-winded type. :o



It all depends on what you mean by "communism" and what your definition of success is....

My differences with LLCO are a combination of theoretical and personal. I still consider myself a communist (not a Marxist one anymore though; it's complicated), but learned that our theory, bottom...

Hakuna matata!

The last year has been very busy for me. I kind off the map almost entirely when I joined the Leading Light Communist Organization in December 2010. That lasted about seven months...

Wow, this place is still here?

Well, I figure most everyone here remembers me since there haven't really been many posts since I left. Just wanted to say hey. If anyone here wants a link to my...

Personally, my preference is for Pastafarianism. I particularly like their Open Letter to the Kansas School Board.

Then again, the Church of Google also has a point. One should certainly check out...

Hmmm...Here are a few different views on the elections provided by various 'Marxist' sources. They cover a pretty wide gamut, actually:

1. The most conservative view is that of the Communist...

This may not be a terribly intellectual topic, but I simply couldn't resist commenting on this History Channel program a little.

I was bored the other day and went about channel-flipping,...

Obama really focused on getting people's hopes up for big changes in Washington. He couldn't deliver (and moreover never had any intention to) and thus his principal base of support, the youth,...

My prediction of the results (I always make these predictions ;)):

In the House: The Democrats lose the House of Representatives. The new alignment will be, I predict, 227 seats for the...

So let's talk Sonic.

The original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis was the first video game I ever played. They were showing it for sample play at a mall I went to, side-by-side with Super...

Now we're setting up permanent military bases in Afghanistan. Nope, not the sign of an indefinite neo-colonial occupation. :rolleyes: Kinda like how earlier this summer we "discovered" Afghanistan's...

Thanks Asterion! Certainly an interesting talk!

Roll-your-eyes references to how massive slaveholders like Madison and Jefferson were really proponents of equality and democracy and so on aside, I...

An interesting perspective, Joe. :cool: Insightful analysis on the plausible immediate term social impact of this in terms of ideas. Allow me to provide a critical response to certain aspects of this...

So Asterion...in your denial that such a Google-Verizon deal was in offing...you were saying? (This article addresses the racial implications of the deal and its tendency to "widen the digital...

A lot of you probably know me as the RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party, USA) supporter. Over the course of this summer, that identifying position of mine, however, has slowly but surely changed. I'm...

Actually, the quote I provided clearly indicates that there have been private talks on a compromise going on between Google and Verizon (as in outside the FCC's discussion framework) "for a long...

Yep, it's time to revive this topic from the previous board so I have an excuse to link to an article on the latest U.S. jobs report. After recovering slightly in March and April, the employment...

Sweet! What an awesome new field of artistic endeavor! I'll definitely want to keep up with this. :cool:

After the courts earlier this year gave Comcast the right to establish internet speed lanes and slow lanes, the FCC decided to re-classify broadband under Title 2: a more highly regulated...

American opposition to the Afghanistan War has now reached a record high. A recent USA Today poll finds that support for the Obama Administration's war policy has fallen from 48 percent in February...

You read the thread title correctly: these fascists are aiming to repeal the 14 Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, established during the Reconstruction era to guarantee former slaves citizenship...

Asterion:

Are you new or did you happen to go by the user-names Victory and Dizzy on the old MFN?

An article I read this morning provides a polemical opening that I simply cannot resist: Raul now plans to privatize more industries and lay off more workers. He explains: "We have to end forever...

Hmm, hadn't heard about that, if so. Do you have a link or something?
