A passage from "Das Kapitas":

"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.

Uncanny, ey?

I assume you mean this quote?

"The owners of capital will stimulate the need of the working class to take expensive, collateral loans to buy their condos, houses and technological products; and, at the end, these unpaid debts will result in the nationalization of the banks upon their bankrupcy, and so the state will be on the pathway to communism,"

The thing is Karl Marx never said it, it was from a joke news site.

Meh. Communism has been proven a failure. So has Socialism.
We need a new option.

I'm naming it Terryism in advance. I just don't know what it will be though.

Probably a sore point but didn't you try starting a revolution a while back but you couldn't decide on a date and the whole thing fell apart? :pac::D

Yeah. I didn't really think it through. Then some bitch in a paper took the piss out of me.

I should probably get back to that, just to piss that bitch off.

Yep.
Dude risks a fine for being naked in front of the capital's newest landmark for charity and they completely ignore it.

I think this thread was supposed to make us want to be commies.
Being Irish, we would never go down that road. We're just not arsed overthrowing the government.
