There really isn't much difference between socialism and communism, since both systems are based on the belief that the government is entitled to most of your paycheck. Socialist countries can only survive as long as someone is subsidizing them. With Cuba, it was the Soviets subsidizing them until the Soviets collapsed.



Capitalism is subsidised by the labour of the third world, labour which is kept under tight control by military intervention, economic war and 'friendly' dictatorships. Hopefully one day those cheap foreign labourers will find themselves in a position where they can tell the West that they are no longer interested in supporting our fat arses.

Whose fat arses are they supporting? Unless you own a company that's too cheap to pay to have stuff manufactured domestically, that arrangement is shafting you, rather than doing anything for you.

The reason we in the West have such fat waistlines has everything to do with the fact that we can get Indian sweatshop workers to slave away for 20 hours of the day for a few dollars. We get most of our consumer goods at a major discount on what it would cost us to produce in our own countries. Where does that discount come from? That's right - people working in factories abroad get paid a discount wage, and work in discount conditions with discounted health and safety and environmental protections.

Fair enough. I was just thinking that the discount isn't really big enough: for what it costs to produce, that stuff should be a lot cheaper.

Do you think that worries him any? His attitude seems to be that if you speak English (even if you use correct spelling, rather than replacing half of your s's with z's) then you're American and so should fear him, his militia cell, and his gators...

I'd hope so. He's been a good socialist for a long time, now.

You pay quite a bit of attention to what happens here, and you obviously have an emotional investment in it. Of course if you had the slightest understanding of Canadian economics you would also know that you depend on a strong US economy. Since the social issues dont affect you one iota, and the fiscal issues are critical to you, if you had half a brain you would be looking for massive changes in Congress.

where on earth do you get the idea that social issues dont affect me?
and where do you get that fiscals do?? If brains were dynamite
you wouldnt have enough to blow your nose.
