Feb 22, 2010 - and that lie has been perpetuated by the same corrupted individuals: JEWS (as bolcheviqs in communism and mencheviqs zionists in capitalism)The problem is not an ideology, which by itself can be good or bad. The one who put the ideology in practice is the one that give the character, the soul of the idea. In the hands of Jews even humanitarism is misantropic.

Feb 20, 2010 - Both communism and capitalism claim to be on the side of the honest, hardworking citizen. Of course, that's a lie in both cases. Communism had a decadent elite, but the rest of the people live(d) fairly OK. They were all equally poor, but noone was starving. In capitalism you have more rich people, but also more poor and homeless people. Communism offers more security, capitalism offers more opportunity. But, communism is better at delivering the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Feb 17, 2010 - ALL ideologies aren't so bad as you think, until they fail to become ideologies. :)
VendPrekmurec Says:
Feb 6, 2010 - Communism is not so bad ideology as you think, bad are its people who become wolves later...in communism ALL people had jobs in my country, every family has gone to vacation and visited the sea every year, the doctors, medical institutions and medicines were free... people were nice and optimistic about their jobs... but in other hand they were afraid to speak free, everything was censored,... and there were not so much wide range of products to choose in markets (like only one yogurt mark,..)
rudeskapunk Says:
Jan 9, 2010 - My God your ignorance es quite amazing. He really lived on a communist country wich was Yugoslavia. All your ideas from communism being a sort of greed materialized are just hilarious. Maybe you live on a developed country, but you can't say anything about capitalism unless you suffered its consequenses, distorsions and pathologies
rudeskapunk Says:
Jan 9, 2010 - You're typical white trash, redneck

Nov 12, 2009 - @patnais102 >consolation prizeFunny. Since there were German initiated negotiations to release their Jews to England to sit out the war, the condition of their release being that they would NOT be sent to Palestine; Himmler was concerned that they would try to despoil the "noble Arab peoples of Palestine of their ancient land" and such.

Aug 28, 2009 - join the movement!
RationalEmotive Says:
Aug 19, 2009 - Ahm, ok, I encourage free speech even if it is far from being rational.Tie your comment, of unabashed anti-Semitism in with what Zizek is saying or you are a non sequitur moron.
patnais102 Says:
Aug 2, 2009 - 1917 Belford declaration does it ring some bells to you?I guess it does not because you would not say such absurdity as: Jews were given Israel as a state by the western powers after WWII (and that was a consolation prize for surviving the Nazi death camps -- I wonder why they couldn't have used a portion of Germany)
blx223 Says:
Jun 16, 2009 - He assumes the reader is supposed to recognize a joke, It's obvious with the most brief studying of his (ever still controversial, but not stupid) oppinions.
nosophorus Says:
Jun 15, 2009 - Marxist communism? Did you say that? This ideology is the greedest one that has already arisen in this world - much more greeder than capitalism. It is so greedy to the point of not allowing persons to buy toillet paper by themselves. Look at Zizek, he even can't trim out his own beard, try to imagine this poor man putting in practice his own ideas.
SmartPorcupine Says:
Jun 6, 2009 - breeeegs, even if he said, it wouldn't be anything most of the world doesn't already think. Jews were given Israel as a state by the western powers after WWII (and that was a consolation prize for surviving the Nazi death camps -- I wonder why they couldn't have used a portion of Germany) Anyhow, Jews are the biggest assholes in the world now considering the treatment of Palestinians. Jews are new Serbs. Fuck Jews.
theokratix Says:
Jun 5, 2009 - were just not capable to put it into practice because of our shortcomings as human beings..
TheSpineyOne Says:
May 14, 2009 - Still has some way to go in order to beat capitalism to that title. We still don't know whether true left Marxist communism would work... nobody's tried it yet.When Gandhi was asked what he thought about western civilisation he said, "I think it would be a good idea." The same could be said of socialism.
charlieparent2006 Says:
May 11, 2009 - Yea, it would be much better if he didn't talk openly about racism and just criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians like everyone else on the left. On the other hand, it's awfully convenient that this "racist creep" tells us what his spontaneous thoughts are so that we can convict him and sentence him to death by vomit-choking. If only all racists did the same thing!
ryeskelton Says:
May 8, 2009 - Communism... one of the worst ideas to ever plague humanity.
