Ah, so it is just another marxist political party trying to seize wealth and the means of production? Nothing new for Germany or Europe.

Tullius stated they were something else, which made me curious. Thanks Texas

Occupy Germany!

Well, that’s just my hunch. What’s in a name, anyway? I’ll take it at face value. As you say, some kind of socialism is nothing new for Germany or Europe.

Ha, ha, you’re welcome. I’m the kind of person who reads the back of cereal boxes. That at least makes sense.

During the Age of Sail (which was mostly during the Renaissance) piracy was mostly not freelance; the British crown sanctioned pirates (including Raleigh and Drake) to raid Spanish ships and ports, while the crown maintained (just barely) plausible denial, and took a cut. As with any ship, there was a hierarchy of control, and the pirates were still under the monarch. Those who deviated and freelanced would be run to ground by the British navy and hanged.

I used to read the backs of cereal boxes as a kid. They make more sense than The Social Contract, or die Pirate.
