WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHO TO HATE, WE HATE OURSELVES.-SA USER NATION (AKA ME!)


Revolution now! Put down your ballots and pick up your bayonets comrades

Capitalism demands ever increasing profit at the expense of all else.

You may see the Brexit vote as something foolish and outlandish but the vast poor majority have no means to join the Capitalist class in their global community and share at all in the successes of globalisation, they were never invited nor intended to be joining the table.

The Media of the capitalists works to endlessly propagandise the proletariat, conjure fear and tell them where to direct it.



The Capitalist class is inherently insulated from personal financial concerns, losses and gains are made on the backs and interests of everybody else, this is the fundamental basis of a capitalist class, an abject disassociation from the concerns and reality faced by the lower classes.



Anyway we all know the drill, anarchy and mayhem for everyone - keep it classy and give unto me the lf'est pics you got

I am not sectarian, it's all the rest who are. I work fine in coalitions, as long as I'm the shining star. So bow down to your new master, the latest V.I. Lenin. And off to the camps with all of you, who'd say, "not this again."

i love when pundits are like 'what, but you can't more tax the rich because that's CLASS WAR *gasp*' and i'm pretty sure most people watching are like, 'yes, class war, i could go for that right now that sounds pretty cool'

no actual human being will express the phrase 'that's pretty unfair to the rich'

Haven't you seen the op-eds by actual billionaires crying that their feelings are hurt by the populace bullying them? They're the real minorities since there are so few of them and so many unwashed animals clamoring to string them up.

It's necessary to seize the assets of all of the billionaires and imprison at least many or most of them, but it's not necessary to kill billionaires who are cooperative in the carrying out of the revolution, that is assuming that there are sufficient surpluses of food etc...

For those who think this is hyperbole, remember billionaire Tom Perkins saying that calls to reduce income inequality were like the Nazi pogroms against Jews:

Their all-consuming greed has made them totally lose touch with reality.

class war is so 2015. this year everybody's all about the race war, but the real trendsetters are already fighting the gender war.
