The Republicans have always been secret communist agents. Just recently they've started their plot to discredit conservatism and then establish Soviet Yankistan.

Someone needs to learn what socialism is...

Though I do apose this bill because I really like gameplays and the like on the Youtubez.

They have zero proof that each video was uploaded by an American. And personally I am not American so if they were to remove anything I put up.... :mad:

On another note, what the hell has this to do with socialism?

we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

lol no

sorry you don't get to redefine words by sticking an adjective infront of them

republicanism is AMERICAN monarchism

capitalism is AMERICAN communism

etc.

Exactly. It's a morphed way of socialism. It's trying to adapt a small country philosophy on a much larger scale.

Your society is so determined that socialism is the manifestation of anti American sentiment and the greatest threat to their way of life that anyone proclaiming to be socialist is mocked and ridiculed. That you actually have a socialist party amazes me.
