What do Europeans think about socialism and communism?

The SWP are abusrdy authroitarian or are you saying they aren;t socialist?

 

No, they aren't socialist. Socialism couldn't be further away from authoritarianism. Its very much libertarian. The only distinction is the type of socialism followed. I focus, for example, on market feasibility. An anarchist socialist will have a different viewpoint

 

So then the Socialist Workers Party arent Socialist because little Reiver syas they are not.

 

I'm not easily manipulated. You, on the other hand, are ripe for the Fox News effect

 

Your usual attitude to when someone rubs the floor with you. Put your fingers in your ears and shout' la la la '

Pathetic little Reivers strikes again.

 

When trying to sneer, its a jolly good idea to make sure you make sense. Try again!

 

poor little reivers has his own private lanaguge. he thinks that the Socialist woorkers party arent a socialist party

 

I'd say post no.82

Nope.

Well you've asked twice over.
And yes they do want outside relations but the problem is that their society has developed a culture and mentality that is fearful of the outside world.
Of course this won't change over night and also they cannot afford to maintain their such self reliance especially when considering the chronic shortage of food.

Then show me some credible sources that Athens was bombarded by British forces.

Ok.

And you expect people to converse with you fairly?

I misunderstood the last few points which led me to believe that you were wrong but if you want I can state that you were wrong on other topics that are external to this one.

I don't think that he's on this planet.

 

I thought the SWP were Trotskyist Socialist - so what are you saying they are then?

 

Already said: they are as much guilty of the authoritarian personality as the right wing conservative

 

I (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hate it, that's what I think about it. Socialism is greed, envy, irrational feelings, and ignorance mixed together and communism is that times a billion. If some one calls themselves a communist that is in my eyes to completely discredit themselves. I'm bloody outraged that calling oneself a communist isn't stigmatised the way calling oneself a nazi is. If I ran things I'd seriously consider banning all communist symbols including che guevara t-shirts. I'd also crack down on all silly little commie revolutionaries, and I'd send the spy agency to keep a track of all communist organisations and forbid them from holding any kind of offices of importance. I'd also introduce some kind of mandatory education about the horrors and stupidities of communism in school, and while we're at it also include education of how socialism is scientifically disproven. It's horrible that most know what auschwits is, but very few know of the gulags.

Does that give you any idea of how much I like communism?
