His son was probably saying papa Stalin please help me and the old man left him to rot.

I like the story about how Stalin likely died unnecessarily because his guards were too scared to check on him after he had been sleeping for a day
 
I don't like creating threads, so i'll post this here.

I get tensions are high in England at the moment, after the murder of a young lady by possibly a met police officer, who's been arrested and suspicion of murder. But i'm not sure this is the answer :|

The complete snap decisions to go to a ridiculous level is fucking dumb in this world.
 
There's now a bar/pub in a former nazi concentration camp?

What's it called "Pilsner macht frei"?

I never said I had the beers there.
But if I could I would.
I had them before and after
Good times goodtimes

I don't remember this level of outrage (which i think is justified btw) when it was discovered that there were multiple child rape gangs operating in the uk, which the police did fuck all about for a tremendously long time (decades). I can only think it because the victims were working class girls.

Well, that's not got much to do with this specific case and it was some time ago. But yes it certainly didn't get today's level of outrage or coverage. Partly because of a scandalous cover-up.

I'm not coming at it from a racial angle btw; there have been multiple abductions and killing of women most recently that did not get this level of outrage either. All of them deserve outrage, its just odd that this one seems to have broken the camel's back.

When the guys that are supposed to protect you end up being the primary suspect of abduction and murder it kind of snatches the news.

The primary suspect is a met police officer, the entire force will be crapping themselves.
 
Bahahahahahahaha, I had to read that shit, now you gotta too my far right friend. ;)

Finding out I'm a right winger is like a white supremacist taking a DNA test and finding out he's 10% black.

God damn I'm still annoyed. You really had to fuck me up by referencing Bukanin too lol. It brings me to this, when people speak of Anarchism or Libertarianism (both apparently HARD right)

Rudolf Rocker describes modern anarchism as "the confluence of the two great currents which during and since the French revolution have found such characteristic expression in the intellectual life of Europe: Socialism and Liberalism." The classical liberal ideals, he argues, were wrecked on the realities of capitalist economic forms. Anarchism is necessarily anticapitalist in that it "opposes the exploitation of man by man." But anarchism also opposes "the dominion of man over man." It insists that "socialism will be free or it will not be at all. In its recognition of this lies the genuine and profound justification for the existence of anarchism."[14] From this point of view, anarchism may be regarded as the libertarian wing of socialism. It is in this spirit that Daniel Guérin has approached the study of anarchism in Anarchism and other works.[15] Guérin quotes Adolph Fischer, who said that "every anarchist is a socialist but not every socialist is necessarily an anarchist." Similarly Bakunin, in his "anarchist manifesto" of 1865, the program of his projected international revolutionary fraternity, laid down the principle that each member must be, to begin with, a socialist.
-Chomsky

Real fucking right wing imo. Also I think that point really drives home a huge misconception of Anarchism. "Every anarchist is a socialist but not every socialist is necessarily an anarchist" really defines Anarchist theory and thought and why Anarcho-Marxists (Libertarian Socialists, or just Anarchists. Lot of names for one thing lol) don't like Marxist-Leninists or Maoists.

Have you read much Emma Goldman? Truly one of the greatest American anarchists to ever exist. I spoke on her when I referenced the IWW free speech movement in San Diego. Where she spoke and her companion Ben Reitman was kidnapped and tortured. IWW men were also systematically tortured by the police and their vigilante thugs in San Diego.
They tore my clothes off. They knocked me down, and when I lay naked on the ground, they kicked and beat me until I was almost insensible. With a lighted cigar they burned the letters I.W.W. on my buttocks; then they poured a can of tar over my head and, in the absence of feathers, rubbed sage-brush on my body. One of them attempted to push a cane into my rectum. Another twisted my testicles. They forced me to kiss the flag and sing The Star-Spangled Banner. When they tired of the fun, they gave me my underwear for fear we should meet any women. They also gave me back my vest, in order that I might carry my money, railroad ticket, and watch. The rest of my clothes they kept. I was ordered to make a speech, and then they commanded me to run the gauntlet. The Vigilantes lined up, and as I ran past them, each one gave me a blow or a kick. Then they let me go

She was also deported to Russia and spoke at the funeral of dear Kropotkin, but this quote of hers (and goodness she has so many) I adore on Anarchism.
“But what about human nature? Can it be changed? And if not, will it endure under Anarchism?

Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flatheaded parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presumes to speak authoritatively of human nature. The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature. Yet, how can any one speak of it today, with every soul in a prison, with every heart fettered, wounded, and maimed?

John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?

Freedom, expansion, opportunity, and, above all, peace and repose, alone can teach us the real dominant factors of human nature and all its wonderful possibilities.

Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth; an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations.

This is not a wild fancy or an aberration of the mind. It is the conclusion arrived at by hosts of intellectual men and women the world over; a conclusion resulting from the close and studious observation of the tendencies of modern society: individual liberty and economic equality, the twin forces for the birth of what is fine and true in man.”
― Emma Goldman, Anarchism and Other Essays

Well I got some reading to do later, now.
Thanks bud.
No problem buddy, super interesting stuff. Also check out when he invaded New Orleans with his militia lol. Also like I said above, you should read up on Emma Goldman. She was an incredible woman. The Haymarket Riot I never shut the fuck up about, is what inspired her to become an anarchist.

A speech by Goldman is what led Leon Czolgosz to assasinate president McKinley and she refused to condemn him for it.

I get what you are saying, maybe its that; but any women/child getting abducted and murdered; we should all collectively lose our shit.

What a fucked up world we live in.

Women and children are extremely vulnerable members of society I'm afraid. I hate my wife going to work at night, it frightens me, but I can't do much about it ,we have 3 kids to consider.

Listening to the radio today I was quite taken aback by the stories of just everyday life for women in England here. it makes you wonder if we as men do enough to protect and call out shit from other men.

Men really do have it fucking good, we just don't realise it.
 
@Cubo de Sangre I got them to "Compromise" that they would push my last day back by a week and let me take vacation that week.... GENIUSES that's what a fucking vacation payout is

People are fucking retarded

At first they said to me "This policy is perfectly legal" but were flabbergasted when I asked for them to explain to me how it's ethical

Good for you. It's something you've earned and should be paid out. Pretty sure when I used to fire people they'd get what they had paid out. I think. Don't recall ever having an argument over it.
