Very true griff. For the record i'm not marxist, i was purely pointing out how Marx would see the whole thing, and IMHO, correctly. Its a longer term, more macro view of it but when you start looking at it makes alot of sense. I'm not saying Marx was right though. I'm not communist. For the record yes, i am studying the russian revolution in reat detail right now which probably explains all this....

Socialisim is being dragged up because of the extremes we are starting to take capatilisim to, i doubt much will come of it, at least for now. I have zero respect for people who go round painting those anarchy symbols on walls as though its somehow going to make everything better. Koizumi is getting it right - you must change the system from the inside, not the outside.

Capatilisim is saying "everyone is unequal but anyone can get the right side of unequal", the left tries to make everyone equal which just *does not work*. The problem with capatilisim is that not anyone can get the right side of equal due to inheritence, of busineeses, money, estates, and contacts. If you remvoed these it would be pretty damn good. Pity.

*waits for Hubris Boy to take this apart with a crowbar*
