		<description><![CDATA[RRH,
Neither do fascist ever admit that they are just that. They all are democrats.
And in an evil empire, whose pop is 98% fascist, admitting to being a communist might result in even homelesness.
tnx]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The author writes:

&quot;[W]hile I endorse socialist principles, I don’t call myself a socialist....  I am a radical feminist anti-capitalist who opposes white supremacy and imperialism, with a central commitment to creating a sustainable human presence on the planet.&quot;

Trying to get a Communist to admit to being a Communist is like trying to get a pedophile to admit to being a pedophile.

And, btw, capitalism isn&#039;t &quot;based on unlimited growth&quot;, but on unlimited imagination.  I can understand how such a mistake can be made by a limited mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I to am getting that same impression that this was in the plan for the Obama phenomenon all along. Strange day&#039;s ahead.  

Life in the greatest nation on Earth during this Age was very hard. Very few people could read or write and nobody expected conditions to improve. The only hope for most people during this Age was their strong belief in Christianity, and the hope that life in heaven would be better than life on earth.

How far is the moon from Earth in miles?
What is the speed of light?
How many Senators does it take to make a quorum?
Who is Steven Hawking?
Who is James Hansen?
How many years in a decade? Nine or ten 
Fox News is fair and balanced? Yes or no will do.
The age of the Earth in years?
The banks need more money?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find what is happening to Obama worthy of a Greek tragedy, as produced by Orson Welles in full &#039;F for Fake&#039; mode. Nemesis is at work. The clever, agile, but essentially duplicitous &#039;black&#039; confidence-man is being brought undone. Not by the awakening of those suckers who he conned-no they remain mesmerised by the &#039;audacity of hype&#039;, too confused, too frightened to admit that they were sold a pup, yet again, by a corrupt and unreformable political system, and too reluctant to criticise a &#039;black&#039; President, to confess their mistake. Picking a &#039;house Negro&#039;, as Malcolm X would have said, to front &#039;business-as-usual&#039; was a master-stroke by the US power elite. We are witnessing the GW Bush third term, but performed in Minstrel Show style.
                            Yet, even having as Rightwing, as grovellingly pro-Israel, as belligerently aggressive a President as any reactionary could hope, has not satisfied the ultra-Right lunatics. No, they just cannot accept a &#039;neegrah&#039; as President. The innate tendency of stupid, ignorant, people to be easily moved to hysteria by clever manipulation is once again in evidence. The mass imbecility and chilling beligerence on display over Obama&#039;s pathetically unambitious healthcare proposals is ludicrous as well as sinister, but, believe me, it will be as nought when Obama attempts to introduce an emissions trading system, itself a ludicrously inadequate proposal. If the level of mass stupidity, ignorance and allied, but incomprehensible, arrogance displayed by our anthropogenic climate change denialists here is mirrored in the US, and who can doubt it, and if the Right are as vicious and unprincipled in exploiting this cretinism as they are here, then Obama will face an even crazier eruption of mass delusion and popular madness. It will be the beginning of the end of his one-term Presidency. The funny thing is, I keep getting the impression that this was in the plan for the Obama phenomenon all along.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps we shld supplant the words &quot;imperialist occupations of iraq and afgh&#039;n&quot;  with  &quot;planetarial or terrestrial occupations of iraq/afgh&#039;n&quot;, fully approved of by terrestrial plutos, most christian, and ALL multos!

Imperialism/nationalism  died once nato had been formed. US war planners knew they cld not obtain the planet on own capabilities.
Planetarians also espied that in order to go for the planet or as much of it as possible, they needed crooks to cook the books; so as to be able to wage several wars at one time and at the same increase their own wealth.
In short, it wll have been the lower classes who wld have paid for the obtainment of the planet for the world plutos.
They have dreamt for just that for at least 10k yrs! tnx]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Robert Jensen: I am an absolute Marxist, absolute Leninist and Trotskist.  And i believe 100% in what they wrote.  They said that political-systems change thru time, and by stages.  I would like to ask you, when do you think that a Socialist Workers Party will rise to the US government.  And how? Do you think that USA can be socialist electorally? Or as a result of a big, big crisis an a sort of breaking of the system, where a socialist coronel or socialist military out of the US Armed Forces takes power in USA?

I mean how and when do you think that we might see a socialist-system in USA?

		<description><![CDATA[OBAMA IS 1000 WORSE THAN BUSH-II

Dear Robert Jensen and friends: Obama is more capitalist, and more far-rightist than Bush-II.  In fact i don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve noticed but Obama and the US fascist government has been doing the same scaremongering tactics that Bush&#039;s government used.  Last week the FBI planted some fake-explosives in the car of a Jordanian Citizen.  Arrested him without a reason, and set him up.

What kind of &quot;Democracy&quot; is US government when it does all kinds of evil shit against its own people.

Another thing like that that US cops use is that they pass around a black people&#039;s neighborhoods and throw small bags of cocaine and mariguana cigarettes in the front yard of black people in order to throw them in jail for years.

I live in Tennessee and the people around here are real hard working, nice and noble, and they are too scared of cops and scared against the US government&#039;s fascist repressive regime.

I don&#039;t know if all states in USA are the same.  But in Tennessee the fascist pig cops are inside supermarkets harassing, abusing and molesting americans.

US government is a criminal government, where the US government&#039;s burocracy steals money, rape girls, abuses people and gets away with it.

Americans live in pain and a lot of suffering  because of the fascist Obama who is 1000 times worse than Bush-II.

		<description><![CDATA[Rosemarie watching the TV news is like watching a parallel universe you can say that again.  The news the media have been told by crazy people people who are stark raving mad that the average person can&#039;t handle the truth and it is better to just show them how the other half lives could be less than that and act&#039;s and 15 seconds on us the little people who live in trailers and drink beer and go to ball games and take drugs.  In the eye&#039;s of the media it&#039;s ok what the so called leaders do the stark raving mad part because in many cases they are leaders in the crazy department and they think us the little people like to watch this it&#039;s good for ratings and makes them money. Remember not so much money anymore but debt. I think the stark raving mad we see now on a grade scale from so called leaders even more than say in the 20th Century is very sure they see that we now face the biggest problems the human race has ever faced and with the help of the media kind of want to skip facing the problems as we all go down the drain in not such slow motion.  They like the system the way it is as it keeps them in power I guess that&#039;s what they call it and they don&#039;t have to use knowledge, reason, wisdom make very hard choices work together but instead use the same old crazy talk and the story of the human race goes on at least for a little while longer. It&#039;s the easy way out something they seem to know. Like this Iran part now boy they are in seventh heaven bomb bomb Iran something they know but to change the system with a complete new way of thinking I don&#039;t think they are up for the job. We should be fighting the problems we face kind of like a war without the weapons and instead we need to keep the same system that got us here that is a tad bit crazy. A Herculean effort with knowledge the real thing not illusion, reason, working together goes against the very fiber of there being lies the big con, illusion of knowledge, arrogance, and the little people can&#039;t handle the truth. Myth is there friend and the truth there enemy. Anyway think of this as kind of a war calm at peace because these so called leaders are anything but calm at peace and the knowledge the truth is are friend. What is the truth well here&#039;s a good one is Obama a Socialist no he sure is not but the money/debt given to the bank&#039;s was socialism on a grade scale for only a few people and how does that story play out not well for us the little people. Another good one the tea party&#039;s well the people of wealth don&#039;t pay tax&#039;s we do the little people and Obama want&#039;s the people of wealth to pay more tax&#039;s that they don&#039;t pay anyway but if he does raise tax&#039;s  the people of wealth have to raise there tax on us and that hurts the bottom line. Why do you think climate change is a hoax?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael K, 
More confounding and troubling than amusing.  For anyone who&#039;s studied the least bit about political philosophy and ideology, we&#039;ve known for a long time that equating Soviet, Chinese, and other communist regime policies and practices with socialism was a capitalist-promoted red herring.  Any statement that socialism has proved unworkable by virtue of the systemic Soviet failure is a calculated lie -- more evidence of the denial, and craziness cultivated on the altar of capitalism.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don Hawkins...I too have been noticing how unprofessional the US so-called journalists are. It has been that way for a long time now - but seems to be getting worse. And they never mention that the US bombed and killed Gaddafi&#039;s baby daughter, Hanna.

Also, its rather amazing how they call it health care reform to consider fining and jailing people if they can&#039;t afford to buy health insurance. They should be calling it &quot;The Insurance Company Protection Act&quot;.

Watching the TV news is like watching a parallel universe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just watching MSNBC and this newsman just said that the leader in Iran is no longer the head crazy person at the UN now that Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Libyan leader just talked, what.  These people must never stop and think for a minute that many people look at our so called leaders policy makers here in the States and think they are stark raving mad crazy. The health care bill is bad enough in the twenty first Century but next the climate bill where on the right it&#039;s a hoax and on the left cap and trade the best they can do because of special interest as the human race goes down the drain in not such slow motion.  Now some just might think that is a little crazy. Prince Charles in England just told people to stop driving cars is that crazy not in my book.  Is the problem that serious yes it sure is. I guess in a dictatorship you only have to listen to one form of crazy but in American we have 3 or 4 crazies maybe more.  You can&#039;t fight crazy with crazy doesn&#039;t work but it looks like they are going to give it a hell of a try anyway on the third one from the Sun.]]></description>

Capitalism is, quite literally, crazy.  My advice to any of you who want to be part of a decent future: Find that strength wherever you find it, and step up to the narrow gate. Robert Jensen

  Robert I agree 100% and read this sort of feel good article in the New York Times.  Paul and what he writes is correct in some things and a big one that he is not correct about is that cap and trade will do the job.  It will take harder choices than cap and trade. We are all out of time and should be fighting this like kind of a war. Yes a feel good article and very soon we get to see the left and right in many way&#039;s the same fight and lie like dog&#039;s. What needs to be done will not happen so far as the whole way of looking at the problem is going to be fixed by the system that got us here, insanity and crazy. We get to see this crazy very soon and then what.  Men in black with black truck&#039;s with these flat screen things and very sure only the start.  I still don&#039;t think most people understand how bad things will get as the ecosystem changes.  We are now under Capitalism and how do things look to you?  Schools, health care, so called leaders, our minds, corruption, the illusion we are told everyday, and now this side and that side Capitalists pitting one side against the other for power and just debt in an out of control system. Let&#039;s just watch the next few months.  ABC did a program a few months back called Earth 2100 and the people who did that have very good minds and so far it&#039;s moving in just that direction not a good ending. After the fighting and lying here in the States on the climate bill just maybe the best minds we have scientists, thinkers and do they have ego&#039;s yes some very big one&#039;s but just maybe can put that ego aside and show these so called leaders for what they are.  Old thinkers with old ideas that will send the human race down the drain in not such slow motion. Either way strange day&#039;s ahead.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good article here. The demonization of &#039;socialism&#039; is currently costing many US lives. Single Payer would save them, but too many misinformed think Single Payer is socialistic. Of course, it is not. A failure of our educational system has led to this dumbing down of the citizens.]]></description>
