I don't understand anybody that identifies as being on the left side of the political spectrum.. When did people decide freedom was just too much effort? I want the freedom to fail and I do it everyday with gusto. I don't need someone holding my hand and making arbitrary rules up for me to follow. Freedom is messy and I like it.

Yeah, I get that. I always love devoting my limited intellectual prowess to hypocrites. But honestly... Why would anybody want to be told what to do by people who claim to know better than you do?

I have been poor my whole life and I never felt like I wanted someone to take something from somebody else and give it to me. I don't get jealous of rich people, I learn from them. This is a side note but I like Dave Chappelle's quote from his last special, This is paraphrased but off the top of my head "(to his father) ' I hate being poor!' Son poor is a state of mind, You're broke!'.

Failed states are awesome. I like watching them implode from their immoral and inept political ideology.

on what pretext you claim he was a world class loser? What do you even mean by "world class loser"? Is that something you invented?

Marxists read his life, yes but Marxist are Marxist not because of how he lived his life. Marxist are Marxist for agreeing with his critique of capitalism and for creating a new political theory which favours equality and justice above greed and inhumane capitalism.

Where would I start? It's easier for you to tell me what he did that you admire. We can go from there.

And please... For all the Marxists out there, What is wrong with capitalism? The free exchange of goods and services? That's scary... Please, regulate me, I can't think for myself.

I could direct you to a very good video on Marx.. but I get in trouble for posting websites.. Trying to be good and follow the rules. If you're interested I can send it to you through E-mail.

I know half of you are just trolling me but I enjoy writing. I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind on here. But jeeze… Venezuelans have to eat their own pets and stand in line for toilet paper. Hugo Chavez died with 7 billion dollars in the bank. His people are all equal though. Everybody is miserable.

Capitalism creates inequality, it creates "Us an Them". Free exchange of goods and services? Does not exist. Example health service in Ireland. Private Healthcare is only affordable for the rich and wealthy. The ordinary Joe Soap has to wait years for an appointment. Casualty departments are overcrowded. There is no "free exchange" there.grumble

You have been poor your whole life because you never had equal opportunity to flourish in first place with the already rich people. And they decide how much opportunity you will get. They decide the policies of business. They decide how much tax has to be cut from certain firms and how much wages have to be paid to certain people. They influence your president and whole senate. They pay the election campaigning of favourable political party so that laws be made that favour their monopoly. Why? Because they run the country through their capital. Your vote has always been insignificant. Who are "they"? They are the corporate elites.

Perhaps you're poor because you couldn't afford higher education. Perhaps they limited you by not giving you a free education so that you can reach your maximum potential. Most students have educational debt that take decades to settle.

How else they make you poor? They take advantage of your poor health and seek profit out of it. Healthcare is a very good business for them.

They exploit your labor and give you the least wage and keep all the profit earned through your labor. Its a theft. Since 20th century they feared revolutions throughout the globe so they were forced to change their system and introduced universal basic healthcare and public education institutions. Well, not whole world has these yet.

You still think anyone is "jealous" of the rich? That's a bit funny. Forbes says that only 8% of billionaires are self made. Rest are inherently billionaires. And probability of you or me to be a billionaire is mere 0.002%. Capital is made from capital. Rich people just have to invest money and it creates even more money. The working class does all the work and working class is the one which is oppressed.

This post will trigger many people

Well, I don't stay up to date on Ireland as they are only important to me for their only exports Whiskey and suicidal writers. But over here it's funny to see all the Canadians who come down here for life saving medical procedures instead of dying on a waiting line. And our Mexican neighbors love to come here to look for jobs.. We are not as free as I want, I have many critiques. But people are not coming here for no reason.

I don't get triggered Blaze. And I am poor because I made bad decisions. It's my fault, nobody else is to blame. I accept full responsibility.
