Where did you plagiarize that from?
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.
I don’t think I will.
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
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.
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.
Insult, snark and derail...your Top 3...
