Dynasties

Why don't we plant a mechanic virus,
And erase the memory,
Of machines that maintain this capitalist Dynasty.

And yes I recognise the irony,
The system I oppose affords me the luxury,
Of biting the hand that feeds.

Thats exactly why priviledged fucks like me,
Should feel obliged whine and kick and scream,
Till everyone has everything they need.

I sometimes wonder where we would be without our system, then i heard this and it kinda makes sense. does our current system work if theres still people that are starving in a world with plenty 2 spare? <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

The whole point of the system is to make profit at all cost. So in that respect, and from where I'm sitting it works. I'm in too much of a foul mood for sticking up for the poor people tonight, it's their fault for letting themselves be conquered so easily. Stupid French

hehe, while I dont agree with that it really is rather good.

Our current system works for the people that run it. Thats all that matters in this world. The guys with the power are getting what they want so things arent gonna change.

Until the proletariat rise up in revolution like their ideological brethren did in the 1920's.
The time of reckoning is coming my friends, the establishment will fall!!!
LMAO, sorry, couldn't resist. Baldy's right, the system won't change, not now. The West is too powerful, and China is sinking into Capitalism too. Shit happens.

You make the assumption that any uprising against the ruling classes would have to be Communist. Were the French revolutionaries Communist? The Americans? Eventually, the conditions will become so bad that there will be a popular uprising. I refuse to accept that the human spirit can be crushed by capitalism.

maybe so. But at the moment there are more comfortably off people in the West than there are poor people. I mean people with jobs, money, middle class e.t.c.
I cant see people in other countries rising up against us.

Human spirit will never be crushed by capitalism.....It will be bought.

A perfect example is the creation of the welfare state. Created to appease the masses.

and both still hav a ruling 'elite', and so neither revolution ultimately achieved anything. Just a change of faces...
