I notice that neither of you is prepared to give a little explanation of your understanding of socialism.
Why not put us all on the right track and tell us what you think socialism really is.



Start here if you don't know what to say: http://www.anu.edu.au/polsci/marx/classics/manifesto.html#Socialist

It is you who has no idea what socialism is.

I don't understand where Marla gets this image of me as a hippie and I don't even know who this Holly woman is. I never touched her your honour.

You see her?


That's Holly Ranson one of your own and bogard73's alter ego.

3 or so seconds in she immediately starts in on a diatribe of pseudo-left horseshit that is nothing more than identity politics. Take a second to examine her objective social content which is nothing more than bitches hating other bitches for their achievements. Notice how she does not  clearly define class character. Instead, she insistently quotes the organization she belongs to and their ideological tendencies which instills populist hook and slogan tactics to further promote the socioeconomic interests of her privileged and affluent strata.

"Girl power" my fat American ass.

Now some people may think of her as having socialists ideals but that is a myth; she does not look upon her fellow feminist "bitch" sisters as working class but rather an oppressed class. This is the same pseudo-left mind numbing crap I endured as an undergrad in all of those useless "gender studies" courses that more or less programed me that I was a victim. There was always some privileged professor pontificating on and on about [her] unequal displacement in life and how substantial dissatisfied they were that there was ever wealthier, more affluent "bitches" out there.

So, the only way to "get back at the system" was to demand a raised quota with their ridiculous "focus groups" that in turn would allow of a certain percentage of positions for designated women and minorities in order to secure a more plausible distribution of wealth among the most affluent layer in society such as our dear Holly here believes she is. Her so-called organization 'Women for Non-Profit' (or whatever the hell it is) has poo zero to do with the struggles of the working class woman today. In fact, her organizational role is not clearly explained (other than giving percentage quotes).

When society does wake the bugger up and embraces Marxism only then can it seek to develop a true socialist consciousness within the working class (as well as a true socialist revolution). Holly here is way to chickenshit to admit how and why women in the working class are oppressed, and it cannot spontaneously fix itself with bourgeois pseudo-left socialist theories. Yeah, just do what all women do in your position Holly, be a victim and simply blame men.

She is no different from Millennial wool puller Sanders who uses the same pig-friggin' rhetoric. Ever notice how Sanders only speaks of of the “middle class" but never the "working class?"  Just like Holly here, is a populace so vehemently denied for their own god damn personal gain.

She is all about the demoralization of the intellectual. She only expresses a deep political pessimism that will take oppressed women on to the road to nowhere. She is a selfish non-revolutionary character of women everywhere.

You were going okay until you mentioned Marx. It's been tried before and doesn't work other than through the barrel of a gun.

Whatever, hippie. Go back to your TV dinner.
