The only difference is that we (I came from there) did not have the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION and MEANS OF COMMUNICATION as we here still do.
As V.I. LENIN said : &quot;Communism is equal of electrification of the country and CONTROL OF THE MASS MEDIA&quot;
We have the first one.They still need work on the second one.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brilliant analysis! This mechanism can be observed in any East European communist satellite country.<br

And the calls by the major news media and Demogogic Party illiterati for BiPartisanship. I can see it now. They do not want opposition. They want a bipartisan hanging Demogogs and Republicrats together ridding the world of unscrupulous Fat Cat Bankers.
I put that together with the Union Protest last week in front of our local Mall. The Union contractor lost a construction bid to a non union contractor. They placed a 12 foot high Blow Up Balloon of a Fat Cat - with a huge dimond ring and suspenders - in protest of the Mall management who awarded the bid to the lowest bidder. It is competition labor-brothers.
If that is the attitude - and childish belief - of the proletariat, we are all dooomed.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Simply count in the media in the last two weeks how many times Mr Obama himself has used the words &#8220;FAT CATS&#8221; to describe the haves of the world, who must be put to task with new Laws &#8211; Banking and financial reform.

isPermaLink="false">http://blog.robertringer.com/?p=1209#comment-3227</guid> <description>I fondly remember how Milton Friedman used the very same analogy(persons A,B,C and X) to make similar points regarding human nature, government, and the economy. I can only add that that along with persons A,B,C, and X that there is also a person called F.
Person F is a power and/or money loving sociopath who often cloaks himself as a do gooder/community organizer/leader. Person F loves being at the top of the food chain and feeding off of persons A,B, C, and X.
In an all too common scenario, person A and B get together for the purpose of doing good to person X. This is where person F enters the picture. Person F is more than happy to be the facilitator of A&amp;B&#039;s wishes, if A and B help F get elected.  Person F fully understands the road to wealth and power and how the game is played and the final outcome. Once elected, person F&#039;s main goal in life becomes personal gain.
Put differently: Dr. Friedman succinctly described how the game is played and replayed: &quot;Person A decides what person B shall give to person C, and person A collects a commission.&quot;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I fondly remember how Milton Friedman used the very same analogy(persons A,B,C and X) to make similar points regarding human nature, government, and the economy.

isPermaLink="false">http://blog.robertringer.com/?p=1209#comment-3226</guid> <description>Robert,  I think that the one defining characteristic of people who would wish to be in this now coalescing Tea Party is that many people understand and realize that neither the Democrat nor the Republican parties are no longer representing the majority of average hard working Americans.
As a result, what those people want in essence is to vote, instead of forfeiting by not voting, but still have the ability and right to vote &quot;NONE OF THE ABOVE!&quot; when presented with the two unacceptable choices again and again and again every election.
The stranglehold that these two corrupted political parties have on our voting options is deplorable.
If people truly want the gridlock broken in Washington where the current oligarchy solutions being offered just create more loss of liberty,personal autonomy, and increasing impoverishment of the real working class, we must have viable voting options come this next election and start democratically removing the entrenched poor leadership structure from our governing positions.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Robert,  I think that the one defining characteristic of people who would wish to be in this now coalescing Tea Party is that many people understand and realize that neither the Democrat nor the Republican parties are no longer representing the majority of average hard working Americans.</p><p>As a result, what those people want in essence is to vote, instead of forfeiting by not voting, but still have the ability and right to vote &#8220;NONE OF THE ABOVE!&#8221; when presented with the two unacceptable choices again and again and again every election.</p><p>The stranglehold that these two corrupted political parties have on our voting options is deplorable.</p><p>If people truly want the gridlock broken in Washington where the current oligarchy solutions being offered just create more loss of liberty,personal autonomy, and increasing impoverishment of the real working class, we must have viable voting options come this next election and start democratically removing the entrenched poor leadership structure from our governing positions.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: jfeka</title><link>http://robertringer.com/2010/04/the-forgotten-man/#comment-3225</link> <dc:creator>jfeka</dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:44:02 +0000</pubDate> <guid

The question which went through my mind was this:  &quot;What if the Founding Fathers were either wrong, or were deceiving those who they led?&quot;
This question raises other, such as: Are the premises on which the nation was founded as rock-solid as Americans would like to think?
I&#039;m not trying to create doubt, but rather to remove it.  I believe we must think for ourselves and that includes examining even our most fundamental beliefs to think them through and arrive at our own conclusion based on our own analysis.
I don&#039;t think most people will ever do this and this is why most revolutionary events are likely to be explosive reactions to unbearable conditions which pass a critical point.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people will be offended that I even dare to express a thought that recently passed through my mind in thinking about the current state of affairs, but if we really wish to solve any problem, we cannot shut our eyes to anything which might bear on our understanding what is involved.</p><p>The question which went through my mind was this:  &#8220;What if the Founding Fathers were either wrong, or were deceiving those who they led?&#8221;</p><p>This question raises other, such as: Are the premises on which the nation was founded as rock-solid as Americans would like to think?</p><p>I&#8217;m not trying to create doubt, but rather to remove it.
