[The Nihilistic view]

It does not say it is, It says it could be informal or derogatory. That is why i asked you to look up negro and is given as "dated, often offensive." but it is described as "a member of a dark-skinned group of peoples originally native to Africa south of the Sahara." Used in the right way its fine, used in the wrong way negro is offensive. With both the words it depends on how the orator intends them to be used.

Under negro, it says "often offensive". Under pleb, it says "derogatory". You're correct: the term Negro is not always offensive. The term pleb is either derogatory or derogatory. No "often" or "sometimes". Also, there is no "or". Pleb is always used in an informal and derogatory context.

If you truly wish to resolve this matter, I want you to ask that question again. I want you to apologise to those offended and accept that you are prejudiced and bourgeoisie. I want you to acknowledge that your basic English skills are substandard and dated. I want you to enroll yourself in a beginnners English course, at a college or school of your choice. Then I will end this argument.

Anybody that is offended by being called a common man needs to toughen up.

There's a diferrence to being offended and crying about it. If someone was deeply offended and decided to eternally campaign against you, maybe they need to "toughen up". If someone was offended by your statement and decides that you are a prejudiced member of the bourgeousie, I see no reason for them to "toughen up". As you constantly ignore, pleb, as an English word, is derogatory.

I am a member of a landed nobility that has dabbled in industry since the Victorian era.

The bourgeoisie are the middle classes, I am not from the middle class.

We just got out of an argument on definitions, I'm not going back into one. There are two definitions for bourgeoisie, again using the Oxford English Dictionary as my source. I was using bourgeoisie in the context usually reserved for Marxists: I would not describe myself as Marxist or Communist, but agree with many principles and see class inequality as a major problem in our society.

I'm going to leave it there, as we're just finding more and more to argue about, even after the original debate is over.

Well only Marxists would use his definition and since neither of us are Marxists I would say we should be using the original French definition from the time of the French revolution. Therefor I am not bourgeois.

Any Questions from the Public to be answered?

• What is your biggest pet peeve? -- People who don't understand the difference between the words "progressive" and "liberal" because they've been corrupted by the sideshow that is US politics.
• Israel or Palestine? -- Neither. I find Israel's actions incredibly provocative and aggressive, while most of the Palestinian leadership are religious extremists that I honestly wouldn't mind seeing blown up.
• What is your opinion on the 2013 protests in Turkey? -- I believe that the protests are a symptom of the Erdoğan government not listening to its citizens and not acting in its citizens' best interest. The entire affair started from a peaceful sit-in of environmentalists protesting the demolition of a park in Istanbul, and it was only after the brutal police crackdown on that sit-in that the movement grew into a larger movement for freedom of expression. The further oppressive actions of detaining journalists, employment of agents provacteur, and suppression of information just reinforce that Erdoğan does not actually hold the confidence of his people and is merely clinging to power.
• Senator... what do you think is the best method of fighting against religious extremism and what do you think of the League of Science and Rational Thoughts plan to wipe out all forms of religion? -- Religious extremism must be countered by an emphasis on religious tolerance and harmony. That means no special treatment is given to any religion, whether it be a minority or a majority. I think actively wiping out religion would be an infringement on the freedom of citizens, which I would fight against. Personally, I see organized religion petering itself out as it continues to distance and alienate more and more of its followers. There's no need to take up arms against religion when it is destroying itself from the inside.
• What would you say is your favourite quote? -- "The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power" (Julius Caesar Act II, scene i). Incidentally, that quote is also my motto as a member of this Senate.
• To all Senators, what's your opinion on the ASPM? -- They are yet another tumour resulting from the xenophobic cancer that is sweeping Europe.

Secretary-General Tal is open for questions.

Comrade Tal before answer my question I must thank you for serving in the International Brigade and serving the interests of the Spanish people. On that subject what do you think of the current economic situation in Spain and how will you ensure that such poor economic planning does not occur in our country?

Secretary-General Tal is open for questions.

Comrade Tal before answer my question I must thank you for serving in the International Brigade and serving the interests of the Spanish people. On that subject what do you think of the current economic situation in Spain and how will you ensure that such poor economic planning does not occur in our country?

While it is a clearly dreadful situation, we must not pretend that this is purely a Spanish matter. The people of Spain are suffering under austerity and economic crisis of capital, but this is first and foremost an international crisis. One of the theses developed by David Harvey with regards to international political economy is that capitalism never really solves its crises. It displaces them geographically. And clearly, the public record shows the mechanism through which this has occurred, and Spain (along with other members of the so-called "PIIGS"), primarily through the European Union, and the control of monetary and trade policy which has favored Northern European countries at the expense of Mediterranean economies.

While we can look at the problem, this does not yield an easy solution for our own immediate situation. Our newly independent republic is part of the same capitalist world market as Spain, and is subject to the same market dynamics and contradictions. Our ability to shield ourselves in an era of increasingly globalized capital is very limited, and it would depend upon international cooperation among working peoples to ensure that the free movement of labor can counter the free movement of capital, and prevent the use of cordon sanitaire tactics for economic crisis.

[CTALNH]

Petya Feodor Moisey Kir is ready to accept questions.

What made you a diehard Stalinist?

Through observation of reality and both reading and researching existent communist regimes from their birth to their collapse I came to decision after watching peoples reaction to communism that :

1.Communism is indeed the next step of humanity
2.For it to become the only one truth and viable economic system it needs to conquer all the world
3.After it takes over all of the world it will need to purge all the opposition
4.After it purges the opposition it needs to create a viable world government
5.After it creates a viable world government it needs to follow the basic tenets of: Aggressive expansionism (Conquering if need be),Equality for the people and Centralized democracy under the communist party.

If you want to know then I must say that the tenets are there because when a Socialist state falls into the trap of being a passive peaceful state which capitalism achieves much easier it will always collapse!

That is why you need the people to be aggressive comrades who speak their mind.

You could very easily say that I am a International socialist than communist really.
