Socialist Professor Responds

Good point about the Mujahedin--Trying to cram a long history into a short paragraph and cutting corners. Yes, it was the Mujahedin, forerunners of AlQuaeda, not the Taliban, who garned the support of the U.S. during the Cold War.

I'm not a Maoist. I am, as someone here correctly observed, a Trotskyist. For those of you who don't know, Trotsky was hunted down and executed by Stalin. His vision of a bottom-up, democratic socialism (not State socialism) is the tradition I stand in. I beg to differ with you with regard to my intelligence but think what you like if it makes you feel better when being challenged with new ideas and information.

All you'd have to do is simply mention that her local ASPCA gassed another 125 unwanted puppies and kittens today and that'd be all she can think about for the rest of the evening.

You mean you can torment these people all night long by making one small statement? TOO COOL!

Resources aren't scarce. There is enough food produced every year to feed everyone 54 times over--most of it is dumped in the ocean because it wouldn't get a profit on the market. That's our system's sick set of priorities.

On a more debative point. Have you ever wondered why the countries where eveybody starves, and/or where food must be imported are all socialist, while the Capitalist countries produce an excess of wealth and food?

You have just lost complete credibility.

Source please. While you're at it, examine how much of the world's food is produced by capitalist vs socialist nations.

[VRWC_minion]

This might be what she is refering to Found here

Fact

The average American uses 54 times more resources than the average citizen living in a developing country.  People in the developed world spend only 14% to 30% of their income on food, while those in developing countries need to spend 50% to 70%

Re: resources. You might be right about our being able to feed everybody. But you are wrong about why people are starving. This is because distribution is left to their corrupt, frequently Marxist, leaders. This includes the likes of Ethiopia, Somalia, etc. The West sends billions in aid and it goes to the leader's favored factions, his soldiers, etc. There is no predictable rule of law -- only who has the most power at any given time. Without predictable laws that guarantee personal freedoms and property rights, you will never have the prosperity you envisage. Have a look at Zimbabwe. A few years ago, they had a food surplus and actually sold food to their neighbors. The insane megalomaniac Mugabe has placated the "natives" and driven the white farmers and any blacks who knew the ropes off their farms. Now they're all starving, with what took years to build destroyed.

As far as being a Trotskyite, this system has never worked anywhere in the world. It only produces political coercion and shortages of goods . Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Your way will never work.

Or maybe this, but somehow I doubt it:

According to the statistical data collected, food aid to Bolivia goes back to 1955, when 2,552 metric tonnes of food were donated, after which food aid steadily increased to an alarming extent. At that time, the estimated population was around 3.3 million, in other words, the per capita donation was 0.77 kg., and the highest levels of food aid reached a figure of 278,055 metric tonnes in 1987 for a population of 6.7 million, equivalent to per capita food aid of 41.5 kg. In 32 years, per capita food aid increased by almost 54 times. Since 1987, the volume of food aid has declined and in 1999 72,400 tonnes were received. The main products concerned were wheat and wheat flour.

The increase in food aid had several negative effects on food security, including the following: (i) the creation of a fragile food supply system; (ii) a disincentive to domestic agricultural production; (iii) the diminished importance of local production in relation to self-sufficiency; (iv) a reduction in domestic effective demand; and (v) a change in the dietary habits of Bolivians. Food aid, principally in the form of wheat and wheat flour, has replaced the production and consumption of other indigenous cereals with high yields and very rich in proteins and calories. It is estimated that around 10 per cent of the population has become dependent on the supplementary rations from food aid programmes, which have become a basic element of their daily food intake.

I suggest you read The Black Book of Communism. It documents 80-100 million dead in the 20th Century due to your evil, bankrupt philosophy. And from your remarks it appears your ilk wants to do it all over again in the 21st Century. I'm sure the people of the world will be grateful.

(replying to post 1. and other things we've learned about you)

In the first place we do not live in a democracy. We never have and we never will. We live in a constitutional republic (Thank God). Take a good conservative history course.

Apparently you also do not understand the use of your body. Women are not designed to lay with women. Pretty obvious really, insert tab a into socket b and all that stuff.

Any exposure of children to homosexual behavior is child abuse

You also seem to fail to grasp that if a baby is alive and distinct from it's mother one day after birth it is also alive and distinct from it's mother one day before birth (and one day before that, and one day before that all the way back to conception). A baby has a different DNA from it's mother. Therefore abortion is murder.

Many liberals much better equipped than you have tried to prove their points here. None have succeeded because truth always wins over liberal propaganda. While one Freeper may not know all the truth, some one in the 80,000 plus posters has the facts on any issue you'd care to discuss. Liberal spin doesn't work here (other than serving as good examples of idiocy)

Democratic Socialism is nothing more than the foundation to Anarchy.

[John O]

one other thing. Israel holds lands that it took during the wars of arab agression against it. Figure that these lands belong to Israel now by right of conquest as they were the defender in every war they fought. I think the arabs would cut their losses and stop attacking.

There is no such thing as a palestinian people. There is not now, and never has been a nation of palestine in the middle east. Israel, however, has over 4000 years existence on that land (minus 1878 or so years when they were scattered)

Not that her sexual orientation is any of your business or relevant to this discusssion, but why are you assuming that she is gay?

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Boy this is a real piece of work.  The fact is that neither Jefferson nor Franklin said those words in reference to a democracy.  There is a greater difference between a democracy and a republic than socialism and Stalinism.

You a Trotskyite? In addition to being a feminist and deconstructionist? How precious!! I read a lot of that silly utopian leftist stuff years ago so really you are giving me nothing new. What I don't like is how you leftist bums and unemployables have hijacked so many universities and made them into places where you can somehow get on the payroll and leech off the taxpayers. In your case Texas.

Right of conquest?

Actually I think it was the CoomieProf that proudly outed herself as a Lezbo on her website.
