Wait for the Boner to come along and say poverty is a choice.

Whoever said Life is Fair, huh?

Or maybe, what's needed is a little income redistribution to sort things out?

Wait! That's been tried before with disastrous results hasn't it?

Is that so? I recall that DDR eradicated poverty, homelessness, hunger, unemployment, illiteracy, and all the other diseases associated with capitalism within a few years. What capitalism produces are 3.5 billion poor people to make 85 individuals as wealthy and powerful as all of them combined. That's a disaster.

Yes the DDR was just great; especially their astonishing Olympic athletes.....programmed and fed on growth hormone, steroids and fuck knows what else, just to win medals for the state propaganda machine.

How many billions did the (capitalist) West Germans have to spend to clean up the environmental mess they caused with their inefficient, ass backwards, totally fucked up industrial sector that turned out shoddy useless crap which could never compete with anybody outside their system. What a drab, dreary, miserable place. The contrast with W. Germany was incredible to anyone who witnessed it.

Nobody was responsible for anything in that shithole.....except the guards on the fence who were responsible for shooting anyone trying to leave.

Great system, and for someone like yourself obviously preferable to the decadent West...with it's unequal wealth distribution.....

I remember the British propaganda machine 2 years ago, and they finished only 3rd or 4th. Nothing to write home about, really. Only one DDR athlete ever was found guilty of doping, compared to a fast growing list of Americans 1,000s of names long. You amateurs gotta do it right, or not at all.

Yes, a great system, and preferable to capitalism. DDR was a long way better of than 150 or so poor capitalist countries, or say Detroit. What a drab, dreary, miserable place. The contrast with E. Germany is incredible to anyone who witnessed it.



And here is what I see when I hear the word 'capitalism'. Utter and total destruction of the world for profit, and people drowning in garbage, hungry and diseased. Pictured is the Ciliwung river in Indonesia. The few clean nations of the West don't matter, manufacturing has been moved to places with no environmental standards.
