FDR's meager capitalist reforms only stifled the brewing proletariat revolution.

I wish I could say "I don't understand how one could embrace liberal capitalism in 2014", but I can't. Though I suspect I was always a radical at heart, I embraced left-progressive thought for most of my period of political self-awareness. I believed that the Democrats really did have the best interests of the average and underprivileged American in mind (and only embraced support and money from big banks and corporations out of pragmatism), that the fight for LGBT rights was the final fight for equal rights, and that inevitable progress was only being slowed by the Republicans, that efforts to encourage "entrepreneurship" and promote democracy in the developing world were benevolent acts of kindness, and that "properly regulated" capitalism was a global force for good.

Now I don't. I recognize now that all of human history has been and is shaped by our ever-expanding demand for basic needs and commodities, and despite the failures (as well as the successes) of past socialist experiments, that the promise of a society where working men and women receive the full value of their labor rather than seeing it siphoned away by the parasites above them, where no child goes hungry or is unable to receive proper medical care or education, where the earth and its natural resources treated as public property rather than under private ownership, will never die.

Nah, it was mediocre at best.  jmfcst used to know how to hijack a thread.  Man, he'd whip out the Gospel according to Saint Luke, verse and chapter, and throw down.

Snowstalker just wants to express his dissatisfaction with the President of the United States.  I feel his pain.  I voted for Obama in 2008 myself.  You can bet your ass I didn't vote for him in '12.

Anyway, I don't think he appreciates that this thread really isn't a political one.  But who can blame him, given the misleading title.  Surely some more creativity was merited in that regard, given the nature of Barry's encounter with Jones and the squeeze.  Don't blame Snowstalker for your lack of imagination.  Hell, he probably didn't even bother to read the OP, given the blandness of the title.  Take a little constructive criticism:  the title of a piece of literature is very important.  It often determines whether people actually read it.  

Check this out:

Now that's more like it.

As he was casting his ballot early in Chicago, minding his own business behind the voting booth, a young man, Mike Jones, walked by and warned him "don't touch my girlfriend."

For Snowstalker:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%27n%27_Roll_(play)

Read this.  Pay careful attention to the grumpy old Communist who was born in November 1917 and constantly mentions how he's just as old as the Bolshevik revolution and how he grows increasingly despondent and hopeless that anyone else in the younger generation takes his ideals seriously and then promptly dies at the same time as the USSR.  Do you want to be that lonely old man?

EDIT: for theater fans, that play is indeed written by Tom Stoppard, author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and it is fantastic.

Our capitalist media reports on fluffy human interest stories rather than the destruction caused by rapacious predatory capitalism. Typical.

Oh stop.

Being a Marxist means breaking from the liberal-humanist frame of mind. It was hard for me and it will be hard for you.
Or you could just quit trying to be a Marxist and be normal you know?

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Seconded.  Whenever you feel like dropping this pseudo-Marxist act of yours, Snowstalker, you let us know.  It's no longer entertaining -it's just irritating.  It's making me miss the old you, back in the day when you were just another left-of-center hackish Democrat.

Remember this?


Pseudo-Marxist? I've done more than enough reading that I don't think that's quite an accurate label. I am a Leninist. As for my teenage Democrat years...I opened my eyes and saw that American left-liberalism was every bit as imperialistic, paternalistic, and dedicated to maintaining the overall existing social order as American conservatism.

You're honestly one of my favorite posters right now.

Gotta agree with this, LOL.

Would you rather hear about the John Edwards affair? Or Edward Snowden?
