(ah, it's not sabotaging machinery. That's a relief.)


Gotta keep the machines in good order for when the workers take over the means of production. Build the new system within the shell of the old.

Well my mother never told me what was right or what was wrong
She never taught me to play guitar never taught me to write songs
But one thing that she taught me I'll remember for all time
And that's that you should never walk across a picket line
Oh I would never walk across a picket line
Solidarity forever don't mean just sometimes
So long live the union!
Cross my heart and hope to die
If I should ever walk across a picket line
She took me to the factory where the workers were on strike
The company had called in scabs to break the union's might
My mom went to the front and she addressed those greedy swine
Said I dare any of you men to walk across this picket line
Well one of them came forward and he had something to say:
No woman will stand between me and one day's pay
I don't care 'bout the others I am taking what is mine
And with that he tried to walk across our picket line
Mom called him a dirty scab and gave him two pieces of her mind
She picked up and she threw every rock that she could find
And when he called the cops on her she kicked his behind
And said that's what you get when you walk across a union's picket line!
Well to this day I can remember what my mother used to say
We're fighting for a better world, not just for better pay
And if we stick together then we'll win this fight in time
So long as we don't walk across each other's picket lines

You apparently do, since the guy in your sig looks like a Robber Baron but from London.

I'm assuming most of that class doesn't enjoy getting slapped. What they're looking for is profit, and unfortunately, that can result in other people being harmed in some way.

OP, what if we kinda like that Norwegian model you laid out? Do I still get slapped fucking silly, or caressed by the sweet kiss of socialism? Because I'm like, totally down for either. ;)

For real, slap my salami and call me a commie because I'm a slut for mixed market economies with an equitable and fair safety net that protects the lower and middle classes. Fuck me, right?

I support the Norwegian model because I'm a capitalist who doesn't want to be slapped. Capitalism is going to break down and collapse if it isn't fixed soon, and I obviously don't want that to happen.

Gentlemen, I've thought long. I've thought hard. I've gotten hard. And I have come with a solution that benefits both parties!

Did you know that a large number of unexploded ordnance has been left in North Korea, due to the Korean War? And due to the current poverty North Korea is in, they haven't been able to employ many minesweepers to clear the left behind bombs and landmines. It's believed that over 100 North Koreans die each year to these bombs. And that's not even touching on the environmental impact they have. So, how do we fix this? Simple.

We use communists and socialists as minesweepers! Think about it a moment! They can both defy capitalism by destroying their weapons, and help communism by getting rid of the bombs! It's genius, and a win-win for everyone!
Sieg Zeon!

January 22nd, 0097: Stocks in the Zimmad Corporation have gone down by 5% today, following the military's decision to halt its purchase of the company's latest mobile armor. The unnamed mobile armor has been rumored to have been in development for the past 6 years, and would've been worth roughly $150 million.
