Capitalism: You Know You Love It

Professor S · 08-31-2004, 11:46 AM

This doesn't really have anything to do with the election, but I thought it was hilarious and pointed out a lot of the hipocrisy of anti-corporation "corporations"

Its pretty rough, but very well done.

Hahahaha. That was funny.

Stupid anti-capitalist scum.

You know who didn't love capitalism?

Lenin.

Your point?

I can name many others who didn't like capitalism:

Karl Marx
Leon Trotsky
Josef Stalin
Mao Zedong

... and the list goes on.

No point.

I was jsut thinking of the thing from the Simpsons where the Berlin wall falls and Lenin walks out like Frankenstein and says "Must crush Capitalism".

I chuckled lightly to myself and then thought about making a sandwich.

Excellent find, Typhoid. +rep

Yes. At last a picture of a reasonable crowd, rather than a bunch of hippies.

Well I wasn't bashing Typhoid's pic (and neither was Rumpel it seems), I was in favour of it.

Er

Let me rephrase that...

Long live capitalism.

Capitalism rocks.
I cant argue with capitalism.

Its Capitalisms "fault" that I am rich.

Hooray for privatization.

EDIT: Strangler, dont tell me what i was intending to do...i was serious....Capitalism made me rich. Nothing else made me rich.

I know you weren't bashing it... I was.

His pic was intended to be sarcastic, if I am not mistaken and I don't think I am (as denoted by the "bombs not bread" and "profits before people" signs in the background.)

The question is still on the table, though. Whats better than Capitalism?
