Are the left stupid or just deluded?

[weldone]

wtf I love the extreme left now

Chomsky is a self-described anarchist, although I'm not fully sure if kirkut knew really well what he was talking about.

Most people in the world are stupid. They are everywhere - left, right , centre, Asia, Europe, America, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, white, black, brown, male, female, straight, gay, lesbian. So I vote stupid.

I mean anarchism as originally constituted in the 19th century by Proudhon, Bakunin etc is definitely extreme-left and are the more famous ones, the "right-wing" variants came about somewhat later. But I just found it funny given that the two most prominent anarchists on this websitee are definitely not left-wing.

Although given some of the discussions Cribb and I have had recently about Marx and Bakunin, maybe I should reassess

I like that not old enough to vote GIMH joined CW aged 4.

It would explain his early posts. The latter ones still remain a mystery however.

Capitalism dictionary for the working class –

Freedom = right to freely choose which rich person(s) you’ll serve in order to stay alive

Happiness = when your rich master(s) throw extra peanuts for your good service

Jealousy = not when your master(s) earn thousand times more, but when your colleague earns 1 dollar more

Failure = after your best efforts for years, when rich master(s) start preferring someone else’s services

I bet there's a communism version that's just as cringey.

Too far left and you get easily led, deluded and the like. Too far right and you start to get overly manipulative, clever people with bad intentions. The best thing to be is bang in the middle and only give a **** about yourself. That way you aren't harming anyone and you are treating everyone the same. That being said I don't claim to know or care much about politics. When it comes to politics I'm a firm believer that ignorance is bliss and intend to keep it like that as much as possible for myself.

Edit: I'll close the door on the way out

There are loads. Most of them end with "and that child's name... was Albert Einstein."

Haha there is a medical ethics proposition that appears in almost every medical law textbook which ends with "...congratulations, you have just aborted Stephen Hawking."

 

[NZTailender]

Imagine thinking that only giving a **** about yourself can't possibly be harming to others.

Por que no los dos?

I found a funny shop once. It was a Marxist book shop and it even embodied the whole thing of the left splitting all the time. Like this shop had all sorts of books about Marx, Lenin, Cuba etc but absolutely none on Mao. The impression I ended up with was that the shop had sided with Russia on the Sino-Soviet Split which I hope is true.
