    LMAO...Did you watch your boy trump’s latest press rant? The dotard is losing it and they may have to invoke the 25th amendment to keep him from doing more harm.
    Compare your orange raccoon’s self serving rants to governor Cuomo’s daily displays of actual political leadership.
    How embarrassing it must be to have to support trump’s deplorable antics at this time of actual crisis. Everyone can plainly see how badly trump is responding to the situation.
    You can’t hide when you’re crippled inside.

    Strange Cuomo and Trump have complimented each other quite often this week and have been working together to solve this..

    Nice cheap shot at the end..... Pathetic...

    even the rich would not be stupid enough to kill off their slaves.

    How optimistic of you to say “ the dotard is losing it” it was lost a long time ago. And now the only time he gets close to making sense is when he is reading off the teleprompter.

    And yes the comparison with Cuomo makes Trump’s mental decline way to obvious.

    Did he wait 6 months before declaring a national state of emergency like Obama did with H1N1?

    Go and have a look at communist countries, do you for one moment think they are getting any assistance from their governments.

    Capitalism will evaporate as soon as people decide to do things differently. It is not "capitalism" that will do anything to people. Blind adherence to any ideology, and "capitalism" barely qualifies as one, leads to destruction of humanity's best.

    It isn't. It has nothing to do with capitalism. It is government spending and it is almost as dangerous as Marxism.

    Rob Sewell is wrong. It's not capitalism that's threatening to throw us back to the Dark Ages. It's government bureaucrats. Capitalism will be the solution.

    At least people got a taste of socialism now that toilet paper and dry goods are being rationed. Only borrow money from pessimists; they don't expect it back!

    Forgive me for having a positive outlook on our future, this is my 10th end of the world!

    This crisis is because of a virus that came about because of the horrible conditions in socialist China, and spread largely because socialist China, lied about it and covered it up .


    Ironic you are using Marxist.com

    I have no 'end game' but securing my childrens' future. I'm making sure they're never rent slaves - never lining the pockets of some stranger, instead of their own pockets.

    On the contrary, it's now more important than ever. It will be what separates the haves and have nots, in the very near future.

    Thank you!

    It's incredibly difficult to convince fake socialists that real socialism is FAR more brutal (in terms of expectations) than the soft and fluffy 'everyone gets a trophy whether they've earned it or not' BS they pedal.

    Communists revolutionaries were very hostile to the concept of a socialist leviathan state. They viewed socialism as a temporary expedient, to be carefully checked by armed workers, elections, recall, and careful accounting oversight. None of those checks worked in practice.

    "'The eradication of state power' which as a 'parasitic excrescence'; it's 'amputation'; it's 'destruction'; 'state power is now becoming outmoded'; these are the expressions used by Marx about the state when appraising and analyzing the experience of the commune." All this was written a little less than half a century ago; and now it is like having to carry out excavations in order to bring a knowledge of undistorted Marxism to the broad masses." "The State and Revolution", VI Lenin, Penguin, 1992p, p. 49.

    You're reading too much Tom Clancy. You should read Steven King for a change :D

    Do you really think that you actually "own" something that the government can take from you at any minute? Your property is just an address where the government knows you are either there or arriving soon.

    A lot of Tom Clancy's book were inspired by actual operations and conspiracies.

    Socialism and authoritarian aholes caused this thing. What buzzaro world you think we’re living in? Capitalism will be the ONLY thing to save us.

    Frankly it should be survival of the fittest now. If some of the old and sick die or those with blown immune system or destroyed respiratory systems due to smoking, maybe it’s for the best. Better genes will be passed on and we won’t destroy everyone for the sake of the relative few. Is it really worth the life savings of EVERYONE going down the drain? Ruining the futures of so many? 1000s of businesses destroyed? Millions of jobs gone? Maybe millions might die in starving poverty stricken countries we’ve been dumping money into for decades? Worth it to save them? For what?

    I really don’t think it’s worth it. Many will die. But maybe not as many as we think. And if mass number of smokers die, good riddance really. Some innocents will die, but innocent people die from the flu every year. 1000s. 1000s of others die to cancer or car accidents. 1000s die of suicide. But none of it has to do with shutting the whole ****ing world down. We are purposely destroying the economy of the world. Messing up my kids futures.

    Screw China for doing this to us. Screw that ****ed up govt. that ****ed over the world. They better not get a pass on this.

    Capitalism read it to where people in poverty don't starve to death they die from overeating.

    Capitalism ended hunger in one generation.

    Marxism ends life.
