OldBrownsFan Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 It is funny how it is socialist Americans who are living in a prosperous capitalist society are the ones exalting the virtues of socialism and not people who are actually living in socialist countries.

I thought Russia was a communist country? At least, I see those two terms interchange a ton on this board.
Westside Steve Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 I thought Russia was a communist country? At least, I see those two terms interchange a ton on this board. At least I have stipulated that there is a very wide band that political organizations fall under. There is no pure Socialism or communism or fascism or democracy. Many dictatorships start with the promise of socialism. Denmark isn't Cuba which isn't Sweden which isn't Russia and none of which are the United States. WSS
OldBrownsFan Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 I thought Russia was a communist country? At least, I see those two terms interchange a ton on this board. Who said anything about Russia? Time after time it is those who do not actually live in a socialist country that are the ones telling us how great socialism is.
tiamat63 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 Who said anything about Russia? Time after time it is those who do not actually live in a socialist country that are the ones telling us how great socialism is. OP is about an article regarding a Russian citizen. It's a natural connection to make.
OldBrownsFan Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 OP is about an article regarding a Russian citizen. It's a natural connection to make. I don't want to hear Americans who live under our capitalistic society telling me how great socialism is. I think I would rather hear it from people who are actually living in socialist countries.
MLD Woody Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 Can anyone experiencing one thing ever tell you how great something else is then?
Clevfan4life Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 And lets not forget that this guy exp soviet style communism which was just thugs running shit. But that is not inherent only in socialist countries. China pre mao was a cesspool of corruption and they were capitalists. It was them that set the table for maos ascent
calfoxwc Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Posted March 13, 2016 It is bogus. Back in the day, I was attending Kent State with my buddy, ...(I've told this before).... I had worked as a machinist apprentice for a year to pay off my very excellent 66 Chevy Belaire... (metallic marroon...)... and we were sitting in a large classroom sociology class. This nasty wench was angrily railing against our America, she hated it, we are evil, imperialist, nobody should have to live here because it is so wonderful in socialist countries.... blah blah blah. Well, I decided I couldn't take anymore, so I raised my hand, and asked her a few questions that put her on the spot. She got po'd real quick that I knew some history and countered her claims. The more she answered, the more I politely followed up, and made her look like an ass. I got a standing ovation from the entire class, she flew into a rage, and realized that I wasn't even in her class, lol, and screamed that I was part of the problem, and ordered me out of her class. I got up to leave, everybody was laughing at her, it got quiet when some longhaired kid threw open the door and yelled that the national guard just shot a bunch of kids. Yes, it was May 4th. If she thinks it is all that great, why live here, then? Why get paid to be a prof? Anti-American beeach. btw, a Russian citizen easily knows the history of socialism. It has always been deemed a deliberate stepping stone to communism.
MLD Woody Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 I wish we could hear the real story vs Cals everytime he tells one like this.
Clevfan4life Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 I wish we could hear the real story vs Cals everytime he tells one like this. It probably went something like "Cal the world isn't black and white, just cause some folk somewhere want to be socialists don't make them necessarily evil". Which of course didn't register and was probably followed by a comment about some damn vietmaneesy power slopes not knowing what's good for em.
calfoxwc Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Posted March 13, 2016 It's a true story. Libs hate true stories that don't reflect their emotional knee jerking...
Clevfan4life Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 It's a true story. Libs hate true stories that don't reflect their emotional knee jerking... I just read the part about it being literally at the same time ad the kent st shootings. 1) thats a tough one to take. I do hope ur telling the truth cause its awful doochey otherwise. Like part socio douchey 2) did it occur to you during the retelling of the story that the last part there could conceivably be viewed as validating her argument?
calfoxwc Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Posted March 13, 2016 1. We were there on May 4th during the shootings. I have a bunch of pictures of the National Guard and the ROTC building that was burned Sat. night. Dude, I lived very close to the city of Kent. 2. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Don't drink and hunt and peck.

What im doubtig is another one of ur consevative themed narativs that are always dramatically cap ended with a gotcha on some liberal. And ur always this stoic hero calmly listening to some deranged liberal and then mic dropping them at the end. Its like you took a course in creative writing and are using us as soundboards. Im waiting for a story about you banging greta garbo atop the eifel tower as the news of frances surrender comes in and she wants to do it one more time for ole paree. But then some liberal shows up and shenanigans ensue but in the end greta still took it long and hard from our hero cal
calfoxwc Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Posted March 14, 2016 don't have to embellish nothin. it happened exactly as I said. I'll have to ask my buddy if he remembers it. Probably not. I got away with challenging her, I didn't have to worry about a grade. I heard she was irate the next couple of classes, and demanded that no guests show up in her class. the socialist, ant-American bitch - should have moved to Cuba.

Clevfan4life Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 Welcome to the Peoples Republic of calfoxwc he's our fearless swashbuckling hero.
calfoxwc Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Posted March 16, 2016 People's republic IS that professor. I was just a minuteman in one class. Don't make me tell the story about how I did my all night ride in the AF in Mississippi. I was far more Paul Reverish then.
jbluhm86 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 Don't make me tell the story about how I did my all night ride in the AF in Mississippi... Oh yeah? How was it riding shotgun in the lead chase car following that Freedom Rider's bus? Do tell...
calfoxwc Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Posted March 17, 2016 apparently, you haven't read the story. I was alone. From 1 AM, to 10:30 AM. on a Schwinn. That's three speed bike. about 82 miles. Few towns, national forest....
jbluhm86 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 Well then, Forrest Gump doesn't have shit on you, I guess...
calfoxwc Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Posted March 17, 2016 no, he rode a lot faster. I got tired. He just kept right on going, never got tired, unaware, like a true liberal....
