Sep 6, 2008 - We need no ideology, socialism gives as many chances to be hijacked by arseholes as capitalism, apart from that I agree entirely.

Sep 6, 2008 - Socialism doesn't work without democracy. Democracy keeps the "arseholes" from accumulating power like that.

westphalianprinz Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - I don't know about that, because you have to have something to protect your socialism and to parse out the wealth. That's called the state. Otherwise, I think you're just spinning your wheels. This is what history has told us, unfortunately. Now, democracy can keep that state from turning into something like Mao, which is what I think you're afraid of.

Sep 6, 2008 - Pilger is the best, fearless, angry and full of indignation. He speaks the truth and exposes the political thugs Bush, Blair and Chaney for the scum that they are. I wish people would wake up and listen to pilger.

Sep 6, 2008 - Thanks to bush and cheney democracy is a crock of shit.
bushuraloser Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - You are so full of it your eyes are brown.
bushuraloser Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Sounds like it could be democracy in its purest sense.

Sep 6, 2008 - The best speech I've heard for months, good on Pilger and others giving it to the elites, right in the face.

Sep 6, 2008 - John Pilger, great fighter! You soar my sprit as being human!!

Sep 6, 2008 - The truth is that labels aren't very helpful. Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, Conservatism... what people deserve is control of their own lives and freedom from the control of others over their lives. We deserve a genuinely fair society. Not one based on exploitation and greed.
Quietlydoesit Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - We deserve control of our own lives. We deserve to be represented by governments who do what we say...not what they want. The representative democracy model we have in the West is useless. We get to tick a box once every 5 years and they get to ignore us.

Sep 6, 2008 - john pilger should get a award for the work he does, and all those news people who support the wars should look at themself.
Psycarne Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Labels have scientific definitions.Socialism is a system in which the means to production are used for social gain.Communism is a system in which private property is abolished and property is controlled by the workers.Capitalism is a class system in which surplus value (profit) is derived through the exploitation of wage labour, due to ownership of private property.
