    I am embarrassed that the father of capitalism was a Scotsman. However, I console myself with the thought he was probably a proddie.

    Hi mate, pretty sure Adam Smith invented EBTs, so looks like your on to something there.

    Adam Smith? He didn't actually invent capitalism, he just helped to define it. Then sought to control it by injecting milkmaids with smallpox, or was that someone else?

    That's Sir David Murray you're thinking of.

    ‘Twas always thus.

    Never Communism’s fault, always the way it was interpreted.

    As I reach the end of my late 20s, it’s became glaringly obvious that the socialist/communist folk just hate everything they perceive to belong to.

    Being a white, British, male of Christian heritage and living in a former successful Capitalist country which developed an Empire just eats them up inside.

    Thoughts?

    The principles of Communism make sense. The problem is mankind are ****s (@GroveRanger) so it will never work.

    What we have nowadays is a broken system that needs fixing to ensure it's less ****ed. Even mentioning that gets the sheeple very upset.

    ****s supporting the current ****show are the problem. Not some idealistic hippies that want the world to be less ****ed.

    Does anyone actually support them though? Or just ripping the piss out of Corbyn and the momentum virgins?

    My thoughts are you got a lot of boxes which you wanna fit people into.

    The only box that you can stand in is your own and it's very small and cramped by the sound of it

    There's many on here and in the general public who are so programmed by the system they will never enjoy their existence unless its filled with selfish needs and materialistic items that they don't need but must have 2 fill a void in their lack of true consciousness.

    How do you think Boris got elected ffs? Voting Tory makes sense if you earn more than £250 grand p.a., but absolutely no ****ing sense at all otherwise.

    The same aristocracy have been lording it over the plebs for 1000 years in this country; plenty of plebs absolutely lap it up.
