And they got the living fuck beat out of them for it back then too:
What's your point? Chuck rocks at cops and you'll probably get shot. Shit happens.
Yeah, how's that going?
Ahh, so the equivalent of a 2 week part timers check at Burger King, per month, to maintain your "groundbreaking and extremely important activism".
Well, that explains the communism thing, because it appears the free hand of the market flipped you off.
You're right. Instead, they'd have a potential nuclear meltdown on their hands, from a nation currently on the brink of bankruptcy.
Now is a great time to lecture desperate disaster survivors about the benefits of your nuclear power boner.
While we're at it, let's get into biofuel and stuff your deadbeat crossdressing ass in a fucking reactor.
Yes, if only there was some way to prevent that. Maybe communism isn't the answer. Maybe we need something more nuanced. Like, say, instead of tossing everything to the screaming, ignorant, uneducated masses, we set up some kind of system by which to determine the best and brightest among us. One that would give greater power and sway to the most educated, well-connected, and industrious among us.
Like, imagine a system of government which appeared purely democratic on the surface, but in reality the greatest power was not wielded by whatever drooling inbred jagoff managed to wander into a voting booth, but rather by people of substance who had the money to influence things.
Dunno what you'd call that, but my, someone could go far with a system like that. A system built around the control of capital, if you will.
