The New Socialists

Where did you plagiarize that from?

I quote journo’s and journals but not individuals.

The New Socialists enjoy doxing others as part of their greater appreciation for the principles of freedom
 
The New Socialism— Same as the Old

"The pigs and farmers return to their amiable card game, and the other animals creep away from the window. Soon the sounds of a quarrel draw them back to listen. Napoleon and Pilkington have played the ace of spades simultaneously, and each accuses the other of cheating.
The animals, watching through the window, realize with a start that, as they look around the room of the farmhouse, they can no longer distinguish which of the cardplayers are pigs and which are human beings."

Animal Farm
By George Orwell



The brilliancy of Orwell is often missed by many leftists who rationalize Animal Farm as a sort of allegorical critique of the excesses of Stalin.

But the novel is universal, not specific. It is about the excesses of all revolutionary socialists who in their quest for utopia inevitably end up creating a nightmare...


I also find it meaningful how the pigs take on human nature and ultimately become "as human", the undercover enemy within. The innocuous farmers are finally duped by the same scheming animals that tricked all the natural creatures and all that was once good on the farm is supplanted by an evil seed.

How do the pigs accomplish this feat?
By promising everything to everyone but reneging on their word at every victory and keeping all the spoils for themselves. Sound familiar? Those pigs have nothing on Democrats.

"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it."

We can see from Why I Write that, against Lectro, Animal Farm was written in favor of democratic socialism.
 
I don't particularly like West normalizing Carlson by not confronting him on his blatant white supremacist rhetoric, but this clip is an interesting dialogue on DSA.

 
Thought not.

If you did anything besides shitpost and troll, then I might be inclined to engage with you, but your reputation speaks for itself at this point. I have posted on the boards and the Tunnels, in particular, for seven years now and I still have no idea what you stand for politically, but know who you think are dipshits and why. Shitposting bores me and I don’t feel like getting trolled this afternoon.
 
lol that's my favorite ball-and-go-home punt:

"you're simply a troll and i can't be bothered to respond. "

if your definition of a troll includes shoo, you're just as much a troll

You called me out, unprovoked, and then can't back up your false claim, and then get all personal again as your cowardly defense mechanism. I've been on these boards (and prior boards) longer than you have -- I think my political opinions are out there. Not sure where you stand, but I have seen a lot of shitposting from you lately.

Is "i think my political opinions are out there" a ball-and-go-home punt?

No, because this has nothing to do with me writing a dissertation about my political beliefs, it has to do with Strick calling me out and then resorting to taking his ball and going home when he can't back his shit-post up. But thanks for your shit-post.
 
I literally said on this thread, or the McCain thread (all the fucking threads are derailed these days), that I don't know your and Shoo's political stances because in my interactions with you both, you shitpost and troll about socialism without putting forth your own positions. So I'm just saying that Shoo's punt is no different than your perception of Strickland's.

This is so hypocritical mr. horseshoe man.

then you haven't been reading very closely at all

a much more likely scenario is that you do shit like feign ignorance on whether democratic socialism is socialism and then disappear when I earnestly respond. but ok.
