At Will employment law sucks!!!

Bible John - 15 Apr 2006 03:43 GMT
Its strange why employment is "At Will" (except for those with contracts or
those in labor unions) while education is not.  When I go to Bob Jones, I
cannot just be terminated from my employment for no reason (I will soon sign
a 2 year contract as a research analyst) nor can I be expelled from the
seminary without "Just Cause."

This means that I have to do a number of things to a) get fired form my job,
or b) get expelled from the school.

Some of these things can be.

1) Breaking the rules
2) Insubordination
3) Not showing up on time
4) Poor Performance

But with a "At Will" job, one can do the best job in the world, and follow
every rule, and yet be fired because he or she shares a different religion,
or because he or she is not liked, or whatever. Only stupid employers share
reasons for termination with a employee. So its very easy to terminate based
on religion, yet not tell about it.

Back in 2004 I was terminated from a job my first week.  I believe the
reasons for termination were because of a different religious conviction. In
the interview, the employer asked why I provided so many Christian refs, and
asked me to provide some non Christian refs, because he did not like
Christians.

Sadly I went through with it, and did not report this person.  But 2 days
later he decided it would be better to fire me. I shook the dust of my feet,
but should have reported this person, for his discrimination against
Christians. But since the job was "At Will" he could have claimed another
reason for his terminating of my employment.

In a Just Cause state like Montana, this employer would not have been able
to get away with his crime.

  You had better get used to it with Republicans in control

  There are only a very few that I know of personally, but the vast
majority of republicans in my home state are against organised labor
and workers comp, with little to no laws to protect employees from
wrong doers. This isn't supposition on my part, it's facts I have
uncovered firsthand as a civic activist.

  Yes John, there are good people in both parties, and they are also
 few and far between, to few and to far apart when money interests
 want control.

  John I am telling you what I KNOW from experience here in Kansas.
Since I retired from driving a truck I have been working 4 days a week
at the capitol, Topeka Kansas, as a public activist for employees
rights. At the moment, big money interests have control of the ears
of the state congress, we have had 3 democrats and 12 republicans
indicted for accepting bribes from lobbyists, and more are on the way.

  But they are the best for many, when you get them.

  John, Americans can really use your help if you're willing
  to share your time. At any rate, I really appreciate your
  answer. Please think it over.

>Rod there are plenty of republicans in labor unions and in favor of them.

The Republican party has shown that it does not like labor and the
results since Reagan became president have shown that labor is poorer
while the rich are richer. It is economic suicide for labor to vote for
Republicans.

>There are plenty of republicans that want healthy and fair work
>environments.

No, the Republican party has made it quite clear that it wants labor to
have no power at all. Fairness is their code word for destroying the
labor movement.

Then why in the world would he vote for those who made it possible to
exploit him?

  John, those republicans supporting workers rights, labor unions
  and workers comp laws are the exception, and not the rule. Free
  Lunch is entirely corrwect in what he is saying, and you shouldn't
  simply brush it off. These are the facts as they are, not as we would
  have them be.

That's what's so amusing about libs. If someone stands up for what they
believe, and converts that to actions and plans, their a totalitarian
fascist
dictatorship.

If they don't take any actions, they're incompetant.

No one can fulfill a lib's catch-22 theology....except another do-nothing
lib.

Libs like do-nothings. That's why they liked Klintoon. He spent his time
dorking
his staff, while terrorists ran amok.

Do you know who was President on 9/11?

************************************************

RICHARD BEN-VENISTE, COMMISSION MEMBER: Good morning, Dr. Rice.

RICE: Good morning.

BEN-VENISTE: Nice to see you again.

RICE: Nice to see you.

BEN-VENISTE: I want to ask you some questions about the August 6, 2001, PDB. We
had been advised in writing by CIA on March 19, 2004, that the August 6 PDB was
prepared and self-generated by a CIA employee. Following Director Tenet's
testimony on March 26 before us, the CIA clarified its version of events,
saying that questions by the president prompted them to prepare the August 6
PDB.

Now, you have said to us in our meeting together earlier in February, that the
president directed the CIA to prepare the August 6 PDB.

The extraordinary high terrorist attack threat level in the summer of 2001 is
well-documented. And Richard Clarke's testimony about the possibility of an
attack against the United States homeland was repeatedly discussed from May to
August within the intelligence community, and that is well-documented.

You acknowledged to us in your interview of February 7, 2004, that Richard
Clarke told you that al Qaeda cells were in the United States.

BEN-VENISTE: Did you tell the president, at any time prior to August 6, of the
existence of al Qaeda cells in the United States?

RICE: First, let me just make certain...

BEN-VENISTE: If you could just answer that question, because I only have a very
limited...

RICE: I understand, Commissioner, but it's important...

BEN-VENISTE: Did you tell the president...

RICE: ... that I also address...

It's also important that, Commissioner, that I address the other issues that
you have raised. So I will do it quickly, but if you'll just give me a moment.

BEN-VENISTE: Well, my only question to you is whether you...

RICE: I understand, Commissioner, but I will...

BEN-VENISTE: ... told the president.

RICE: If you'll just give me a moment, I will address fully the questions that
you've asked.

First of all, yes, the August 6 PDB was in response to questions of the
president -- and that since he asked that this be done. It was not a particular
threat report. And there was historical information in there about various
aspects of al Qaeda's operations.

Dick Clarke had told me, I think in a memorandum -- I remember it as being only
a line or two -- that there were al Qaeda cells in the United States.

Now, the question is, what did we need to do about that?

And I also understood that that was what the FBI was doing, that the FBI was
pursuing these al Qaeda cells. I believe in the August 6 memorandum it says
that there were 70 full field investigations under way of these cells. And so
there was no recommendation that we do something about this; the FBI was
pursuing it. I really don't remember, Commissioner, whether I discussed this
with the president.

BEN-VENISTE: Thank you.

RICE: I remember very well that the president was aware that there were issues
inside the United States. He talked to people about this. But I don't remember
the al Qaeda cells as being something that we were told we needed to do
something about.

BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6 PDB warned against
possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of
that PDB?

RICE: I believe the title was, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the
United States."

and you think they planned this on 9/11? Tell me, how many attacks have we
had SINCE 9/11?

Who was in office when the WTC was bombed? The USS Cole, the embassy?

Bush is not responsible for capturing BL. Are you? The same military
would still be in place trying to capture him even if Bush was not the
pres. So your point is.............meaningless, as usual.

So tell me, when have you seen a president of the U.S. go out
and hunt for a fugitive? That is the military's responsibility no
matter what president is in place.

Saying Bush is responsible for finding him is the same as saying
the mayor is responsible for catching felons.

Last I checked, that was called free market economy. Which has
nothing to do with tax refunds doofus. Would you rather go
back to the 70's when they froze gas prices and no one could
get gas? Moron.

If you want to bitch, try bitching to the right people. Like congress

Well that's off the deep end. Let's see here...........

Wealth is "wholly criminal". Guess you need to move to a true

And then we manage somehow, in our deluded mind, to tie

Your posting wasn't clear to me whether you think I'm a Clinton fan.  I'm
not.  I've written against the ideology of his administration beginning in
1993.  I presume that Monica screamed as she did because she didn't want
to get assassinated.

Clinton kept sanctions going against Iraq against the advice of many
scholors, such as Hugh Marshall at Stanford.  A likely result was Iraq's
drift towards the Euro that made the U.S. invasion possibly the only
alternative to avoid losing control over Iraq's eleven per cent of the
world's oil supply.  IMHO.

That's nothing but an ignorant over the top posturing. Criminalizing

province of any democratic nation. Europe is MORE democratic than
we are, NOT less. And so-called "communist" China/Russia NEVER were.
Both of them had/have powerful rich classes, and communisms DO NOT
HAVE those, by definition. They don't permit them to exist.

The "evil failure called communism" is nothing but an Amerikan Myth.
It never happened, it was used to scare your grandparents and parents
out of voting Socialist or Communist in the 30's, 40's and 50's. It
was a Myth sponsored vastly by the rich in Amerika, and it is
documented! They spent their money and influence to have the media
and the textbooks tell their myth their way, several of the biggest
personal fortunes in Amerika were used to promote it.

China/Russia were MORE oligarchically feudalistic than Amerikan
Capitalism, but not more than Amerikan Capitalism WANTS to
be! The only "communist equality" in Soviet Russia and "Red" China
was that 80% of the people were equally POOR. They were NEVER
"communist". Ask any first year political economy major.

  I'm not democrat, republican, or libertarian. I'm an American
  that cares very much for his people and country, and one that
  knows when he has encountered one of these self serving people
  like you.

  I've got some news for you vern, Christianity SMACKS LOUD AND CLEAR
  of taking care of the poor and your neighbors, and that my dear
  little hypocrite IS socialism is it's finest form ! So in closing
  this paragraph, if you don't wish to be associated with socialism
  you had better leave Christianity behind.

> Personal freedoms go like this starting with the most.

  If I were out to take your freedoms away, I would begin with your
  freedom of speech, but I am not. What I do tell you is that you had
  best stop your lying about me, because freedom of speech does not
  include the freedom to lie.

  In spite of what the modern churches teach, one can lose there
  salvation for deliberate sin, which includes lying as you have
  done above. And what was the lie ?

  "The sound of a true Democrat = liberal = socialist = communist =
   fascist twit."

> Libertarian, Republican, Democrat with a wide separation between libertarian
> and Republican.

  Your guesswork is far off. I am a follower of Christ, not of self
serving peoples of all the political parties. It is reason and truth
that will eventually break the death grip that party control has on
American minds.

> The typical takeover strategy by the "SUPER RICH" is to blame corporate
> America.

  This is true to an extent, but it's the exception and NOT the
  rule. Corporate America has it's share of blame in raping the
  country, as do many others. ENRON, Worldcom, and the list goes
  on to detail whom, what, where, when, and how much.

  The simple minded follow right along.

  The simple minded have had only one desire all along,
  to have a good life for a loving family. Many of the
  greedy in this country are putting it beyond there
  reach.

  The difference between those of us that care for them,
  and those who do not IS where the line is drawn in the
  sand between right and wrong. Those you support use lies
  to obscure the lines between truth and fiction, driving
  the poor, needy and simple like cattle to be herded for
  the sake of your interests. Where there is money to be
  made by cheap labor, there is also power to be had thru
  the manipulation of these people and their vast resouces.

  God Himself will hold you and yours to account
  for the treatment and exploitation of these
  people unless you repent.

Xtianity, the rich thieves get to steal and then DECIDE
whether to give it back or not, and they always decide not
to give back more than a tiny pittance because they don't
have to. They'd rather be rich and deprive others of a
decent life and pretend those folks just didn't "try hard
enough", even though they do all the work.

Socialism/Communism, fairness is decided by the Democratic
will of the Poeple who are the rightful collective ownership
of the world. This Absolute Democracy, in order to remain
Popular, authorizes Fair Limited Private Property, which is
the instant unsellable ownership of everyone's home by that
home's residents who live in them, rather than feudalist
rental or mortgage, in which you pay the monthly tribute
to the rich for your home all your life, but never quite
actually OWN it, which is how the rich enslave the rest of us.
Such a Democracy requires that in order to access groceries,
one HAS to work a certain minimum number of hours a week at an
actually productive job, rather than some overpaid hobby, and
that everyone be paid the same per hour for that work!

--
Democracy takes us immediately in the direction of Democratic
Communism. It has always been the inevitable inheritance of
Democracy and its purpose, to end in Democratic Communism.
The reason Democracy was invented was to oppose theft by the
rich! An old experienced Democracy always votes for more and
more Equality.

The inevitable direction of the Rich and Powerful's RightWing
Fascism is toward literal or economic slavery for everyone but
Them. If they could they'd put a bomb in your chest that they
controlled and deprive you of a vote. They want your children
and your grandchildren to be their slaves. They used to be the
criminals so-called "nobility" and have direct philosophical
descent from the bandit warlords who used to run Europe and
owned your ancestors, which they want to do again some day!!

True enough, christianity is nothing like the form of government most feared
by Lenin - socialism.
Christ's order to sell everything and take only what you need is much more
akin to communism.

But the history of this nation shows that christianity supported management
for the most part. The man who gave us libraries and owned steel mills
crushed labor unions, forced his people to work 14 hours a day, seven days a

  Not quite true enough, in fact what vernon has said is an
  outright lie about many of us, yet he doesn't hesitate to

  If one stops to consider it which some like vernon will
  not, God owns everything. It was His from the start
  and He gives it to whom He pleases. He also commands us
  to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to help and share
  with the needy. Up to the 4th century properties were held

  the Patriarch owned it and divided it among the siblings.

  Things can be improved for many without taking from someone else
or making millions off the sweat of others. This is what Christ
stood for, compassion and love for man, particularly the poor.

  I've cut any political ties that I've had to do faith based work
on a volunteer basis as an activist, to be an asset to Christ. I'm
not a democrat, republican, or whatever else is out their. I'm just
me, an ordinary guy trying to leave something good for someone else

  Carnegie was supported by certain members of the church,
  not by the "church". Carnegie made huge donations to
  clergy, and they rendered whatever services he needed,
  that doesn't mean he was accepted by all. The church is the
  people, not simply the clergy that run it. I am part of
  the church, i don't condone what Carnegie did, but I wasn't
  born at the time either. I CAN deal with the here and now though,
  and thats what I'm trying to do, but we need help from
  people just like you. You can't do a good work without
  the help of skilled people, and that is who we are trying
  to win over with the truth. It's very difficult when you have
  people making acusations about your character and motive
  in public, while they know nothing of your personal life,
  or morals, as in the case of vernon.

  I wish you well regardless.

NOT hurting the people who were hurting and enslaving them, and
that they shouldn't hurt rich people or "Gawd", whom NOBODY has

the problem with a "Gawd" who only spoke to a few long ago and

Your idea of the truth is the same as any other religious persons idea of
the truth.
The only difference between bombing an abortion clinic or shooting a doctor
and bombing a member of another sect or shooting a soldier is that one group
is willing to die for thier belief, while the other hides behind a legal
system that does not remotely resemble the one taught in the bible.

  What do you care what the bible teaches, or how those believing

  I mean, after all, by your standards GODs followers are devoid

Why, if your beliefs
are so firm, haven't you been out trying to make things better for
other atheists and the needy ? I don't just go out onto the street
and shove a bible up someones backside, whether they want it or not !
I'm not preaching or speaking about GOD, I'm talking to senators and
representatives at the state level about laws limiting help and
insurance coverage to working people. Trying to stop certain
corporations from weakening and destroying overtime laws, workers comp
laws, fair housing laws, employment laws.

  I don't go about blowing up abortion clinics and murdering doctors
and nurses ! What the hell is wrong with you, that you assume the
absolute worst before knowing anything about the "person" or their
convictions,
or is this merely a public relations coup on your part ? If the latter
is the case, it's a kind of cheesey thing to be doing, don't you think?

  I don't go around assaulting atheists by beating them over their head
with bibles and religous literature, I know they won't believe it and
that they're a waste of time. I'd rather talk with someone that is open
to possibilities. Any damned fool can doubt, that doesn't take much
mental effort ! Besides, the rules I have chosen to live by state
that if a person has been told twice and they refused, not to speak

Because there are others reading and this will cause some of them to THINK.
In general the results have caused a number of people to realize that they
are in fact atheist rather than agnostic. It happened to me and Jason caused
it to happen to several others.

I do that here. As for helping the needy I do that at a minimum of eight
hours of  warehouse work every week with an additional five hours twice a
month.
I don't need a god to tell me it's the right thing to do.
I also train, attend meetings and respond to emergencies as a volunteer
firefighter/EMT.
And again I need no gods to tell me right from wrong.

  It would be so easy to just kill file you, but then I wouldn't get any
  answers as to what you actually have against me, that you would
belittle me so. I have been going over your posting history and it
seems that you do quite a lot of "belittling to just about anyone
not sharing your views, while painting yourself as a bible authority
to the public. Being an authority, as you've painted yourself, you
should be aware that claiming to be a Christian means you also are
required by GOD to conduct yourself as one. However, the posts I have
been reading indicate that for a bible authority and Christian, you
seem to constantly ignore Matthew 5:43-45a. It's on my sigline for
those like you to benefit from it.

  Please have the decency to act decent. I would like very much to know
what I've done to offend you that you belittled me so. Yes, it does
bother me.

Go study political science again. The Right are Feudal and Fascist,
the Left are Democratic and Communist, and NO Communism has yet
existed, and both so-called "communisms" have actually beem fascisms
of thw wealthy and powerful which served the rich as well by being
mislabeled "communisms" in order to disinform those who would change
things. Both Soviet Russia and "Red" China were feudal fascisms by
their wealthy pseudo-political oligarchies, NOT "communisms".

Actually, that's not the American way at all. In America, those who control
the money also control the freedoms through indirect measures. The rest of
them just keep repeating to themselves over and over, "I free, I'm free,
I'm free.
The only ones leaving for foreign countries are GM, Ford, Microsoft, etc.

That is just stupid talk John. You should know you can't legally be fired for

discrimination. And you have never been told one of the above was the reason

Very good points, BJ.

And similarly, it is outrageous that employees can fire their
employers "At Will", also.  Giving no reason, they can simply
contract with another employer, for greed, or discrimination,
anything!  Or even fire him, and not replace him at all, just
to save labor!  Can you believe, it's perfectly legal for one
private party to sever his relationship with another private
party, arbitrarily?

How can government allow people to make their own private
decisions about who to associate with?  We should follow
the example of other countries, where employer-employee
relationships are PERMANENT.  As France recently showed...

> In a Just Cause state like Montana, this employer would not
> have been able to get away with his crime.

And neither can the employee, one would hope...

The individual employee is immediately reliant upon that specific
employment at which he is employed. If we had a employment pool and
people were guaranteed a wage if they reported for employment, then
arbitrary termination might be fine. But as it impacts the dependent
children, it is the business of the State to control it for its
most helpless citizens.

Employers are NOT reliant upon any SPECIFIC employee, they have many,
or the employee is eminently replacable. Offering the employment
puts them in a controlling position, and the People must organize as
government to ban the abuses attendant and possible from positions of
unfair power.

Now if the State was the only employer we could indeed require people
to work until relieved if they wanted to change employment. The People
being respondent, they wouild provide themselves a balance of that
freedom, just as they provide for protecting everyone FROM that power
as well. Democratic control of labor and business holds the key to
balanaced controls on both.

Hi, we don't live in an entitlement state.  Just because you are alive
and breathing doesn't mean you are guaranteed a job, food, medical
care, etc at the cost of someone else.  It isn't the business of the
state to control anything, that's not what this country was founded on.
Thanks to people like you we have a mixed economy in the US.

If you have the same skills as everybody else, guess who's fault that
is?  You want people with replacible, trivial, skills to be offered set
wages with 100% job security with a powerless employer.  What in gods

Oh *I* SEE, you're under the ridiculous delusion that I imagine some
"other" bunch of people must pay for everything, eh? Someone has told
you nothing more than a stupid LIE about Socialism!!

--
If you live and breathe you should be guaranteed a JOB at which you
WORK, and that WORK will entitle you to a HOME and FOOD and POWER and
WATER and TRANSPORT and HEALTH CARE and EDUCATION and RETIREMENT.

And if you do NOT WORK, then you should be BANNED FROM ACQUIRING
FOOD or being FED by ANYONE ELSE! You should not even be ALLOWED to
ENTER a grocery store UNTIL you CAPITULATE TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
AND DEIGN TO WORK WITH THE REST OF US FOR OUR COMMON SUPPORT! If you
do NOT, then you should be LEFT TO DIE OF STARVATION!

So you SEE, OUR notion of Entitlement is that you are Entitled ONLY
if you do what WE THE PEOPLE WANT you to do!! It has NOTHING to do
with making somebody else support your stupid a.s!

> It isn't the business of the state to control anything, that's not > what this country was founded on.
-------------------------------
Garbage. Democracy was invented to control those who would otherwise
cheat, rob, and enslave the rest of us. The People have all the rights
because they are bigger than anyone else alone, and that gives them
the right to have everything the way the Democratic Majority WANTS
it to be, period! Political Power comes out of the barrel of a gun,
and that means the Majority which outnumbers any army.

>  Thanks to people like you we have a mixed economy in the US.
------------------------------------
It's slowly progressing:

From a Feudal Capitalism in which a Remnant Rich Nobility own all
the land but "freed" all us "serfs" to wander around but then be
re-enslaved by them when we got hungry enough.

To:

A Majority Democracy that has learned its True Power, the Power of
the Majority to ELIMINATE BY DECREE the ownership of the Feudal
Remnant Nobility called the Wealthy, by its Democratic Power, and
to take Total Majority Democratic Control of all land, resources
and industry so that the it can be controlled solely by the Will
of the People for THEIR benefit, because THEY ALONE OWN THE EARTH!

The real "Employer" is the State. No other is required or desired.
The State as Employer is perfectly capable of requiring a troublesome

perform better employment properly, and if they do not they can be
starved to death! This is no different than currently, in actuality.
Then you might ask, if the same, what good is Socialism, and the
answer is that its offices are directed to meeting the desires of
the People's Majority Democracy and NOT merely the personal greeds
and self-aggrandizing ambitions of rich "owners"!

-------------------------
Such a lame bumper sticker response means you're posturing impotently.
You've run out of actual reasoned critique.

> I'm sorry sir, you might want to move to a socialist state.
----------------------------
And now you're repeating yourself because you don't really have
a political analysis of your own and haven't any idea what to say!
This is what happens to brainwashed little capitalists, they were
told a set of lies which they trot out as responses to Socialism/
Communism, and when those are contradicted they are flabberghasted
that anyone could believe other than what they once had pounded
into them, and they are then totally speachless and begin repeating
themselves mindlessly.

Show me in the constitution(what this country was founded on) where it

When you are on welfare, foodstamps, public healthcare, 'others' are
paying for it, cause you sure as hell aren't.  Do you think this stuff
falls from trees?  From whom do you expect to receive entitlements
from?

Yea, you really do belong in france in the quasi-socialist la la land.

People are born with different skills, different aspirations, and
different incentive for achievement.  There are some people that just
don't care about school or getting educated.  The government is not
going to make them care.  By giving them entitlements you let them do
little or no work and still be able to sustain.

of free market capitalism in this country.

----------------------------
It can be construed that way now! It all depends on enumerated rights,
and all that takes is amendments. It will be changed by and by, by
popular demand. It may even be ammended to do it, or else it will be
replaced.

*I'm* not, so I guess we're talking about you! While those are stop-
gap measures while this society awaits its radical improvement, that
sure isn't MY idea of a decent society! However, as long as the society
remains impotent against the might of the rich, we need those primitive
devices to use against them till we can develop better ones! Once we
make wealth illegal, then everyone, ESPECIALLY THE RICH TOO, will be
REQUIRED to work at a PRODUCTION OCCUPATION, or else STARVE TO DEATH!!

> Do you think this stuff falls from trees?
-------------------
Are you f.cking illiterate? Is there a rich white republican
disinformation officer writing your sh.t for you? I said that
EVERYTHING comes BY WORK, WORK that the RICH DO NOT DO!!!!
The desire of the RICH RIGHT WING is that the impoverished do
all the work FOR THE RICH, much as they do NOW!

> From whom do you expect to receive entitlements from?
--------------------
That's two "from"-s, one front, and one in back, you ARE illiterate!!

You seem to have trouble reading what I wrote, I suggest you go back
and do it! All things come of work, but some poor, and ALL the RICH
seem to think OTHERS OWE THEM A LIVING! This WILL END BY AND BY!

--------------------
That's nonsense, we all ARE the government, finally. It is not some
"other thing". And the government is the expression of our collective
will, and that will will finally be to meet everyone's needs, just as
we expect society to meet our needs now. BUT IT WILL BE EARNED BY WORK!
The appropriate way best to meet all needs is to unify the society and
control it my the Majority Democratic Will! Letting the rich control
it and sell it to us at a profit for them DOES NOT WORK! They LIE and
CHEAT and STEAL!!

---------------------
It's never been tried, that is the calculated LIE of the rich in the
west. That "revolution" died aborning when the farmers who fought it
had to go home in the spring to plant, leaving the Tsar's former city
apparatchicks to manage it, and they simply stole it and became a
political nobility without a figurehead Tsar. They called themselves
a "party", but it meant a fiesta, one in which they used the army
they set up themselves to steal from the collectives and sell it
abroad and bank it off-shore, keeping most people equal only in their
poverty, since they got little or nothing they had produced! This
Kabal of Politburo Families who ruled so-called "Soviet" Russia was
merely a hoax, they were a rich class who rode in big cars. Any
political science major can tell you that NO communism has a rich
class, the definition of any communism is that it does NOT permit
a rich class to EXIST!! Russia was CALLED "communist" by this Kabal
ruling class to confuse the masses out of revolting, and the rich here
used the same term to try to frighten our people out of voting for
Socialist measures in the 1930's and 1940's to suppress the early
Socialist movement in the USA which was gaining support like crazy!
Both there and here it was a convenient lie for BOTH rich ruling
classes that any "communism" was going on AT ALL!! There is a HUGE
difference between a feudalism with the serf class being equally
impoverished and the rich owning vast wealth, versus a communism
where the product of work is divided fairly and all people are
equally endowed by the fruits of their society. Russia today is
run by and for the former Russian Mafia, which was merely the
OTHER hand of the Politburo families, who called in their wealth
from foreign banks to now profit wildly from the collapsed and
emaciated former "Soviet" state. They now rule by the Lie that THIS
now is "freedom", when only the rich are free, the same way they
did when they LIED and said this was "communism" and all are equal,
when they had big limousines and fancy clothes and luxury dachas
on the Black Sea!

-------------------------------
The ONLY rightful power is the Majority. And Collectivism is simply
requiring that all do the work and all benefit equally. You've been
taught mindless unreasoned blather such as calling someone you fear
"collectivist scum" when you have NO idea who the "Scum" REALLY are!!
They're the RICH!!

There weren't any poor farmers at the Continental Congress, NOR were
there any at the Constitutional Convention! You've been duped, poor
boy, duped into the belief that whatever the rich do is "freedom"!!!
Luckily they made it amendable or we'd all be THEIR SLAVES TODAY!!

------------------------------
All you have to do to make people work is to starve them if they don't.
All you have to do to make smart people want to have a better life is
offer to pay them the same wage to get educated and then work at more
intelligent jobs, you don't even need to pay them more, they want to
sit in a soft chair and have hot coffee at their wrist and be warm and
dry in soft clothes instead of digging a ditch in freezing weather! You
will actually find that even many of the ones you thought would never
figure it out will ALSO want education and a better softer job and
will go to school and make good grades and pass the tests to get paid
to prove it, and THEY ALSO will work at intelligent jobs! All you
have to do is make it so there is only one path to a better job, and
you don't even have to pay them any more than anyone else to get them
to do it! Some people like working outdoors! LET THEM!! As LONG AS THEY
WORK!

And they have about a 1/3rd approval rating, just like they had all
LAST century because they always go rogue and steal and go corrupt
and do NOTHING when it comes down to it, all smoke and mirrors!!

Socialism now goes FORWARD!! As it becomes every more obvious that
American wealth can't long continue with expensive oil and the rest
of the world developing and competing, we'll tax the rich into the
ground and build an Egalitarian Society which is the REAL MODERN
AMERICAN DREAM!!

Surely you see we live in a one party state, run by the
Republicrats?  They are ALL statists, and America is now
a cesspool no better than anywhere else.

Your heart is in the right place, Ana, but if you really
believe there's a dime of difference between the Dems and Repubs...

Admittedly there isn't a hell of a lot, but Dems are quite a little
bit better at grasping the potential of Democracy to alter the current
system. The actual fact is that RICH Democrats are more similar to
ALL Republicans, but with so few Democrats rich, that doesn't amount
to much.

Preach on, Bro R. Steve!

You harken back to the halcyon days of Stalin and Mao,
the Golden Age of collectivism, when enemies of The
People were executed en masse.  I remember those
photos of stadiums full of chinamen, all dressed in identical
uniforms and shoes and haircuts - a glimpse into our
cloned future - it sends chills up my spine even today.

But where is the gulag today, where the spirit strengthening
empty market shelves, where the 5 Year Plans?  With all this
global warming, even Siberia is losing its punch, alas...

-----------------
You're barking nonsense. Letting a bum starve to death is the same
thing that goes on now, but they make them do it in the rain and
cold right now, and I offer them a guaranteed job, all they have to
do is show up and work, and also a place to live in comfort while
they work, or while they're starving to death, if they choose to
continue in that folly. In other words, not much of a Gulag there,
you ignorant brainwashed right-wing asswipe. Now mind you, I don't
allow the continued appreciation of alcohol by non-workers, so if
they starve to death they'll have to do it un-drugged. That usually
puts them right off their game.

As it does anyone, which is why that has no resemblance to my
suggestions. You seem to wish to drag in any image that frightens
you, rather than paying strict attention ONLY to what *I* suggest.

You merely put forward dystopian imagery without basis.
Where is your mindless BIG LIE-style leaving you?
In point of fact: Nowhere.
