With who would you go for a beer with?

[punisa]

Choose wisely, they might be lurking :lol:

[ExUnoDisceOmnes]

Chomsky was and is a brilliant man, I don't care if he's liberal blah blah

[svenne]

My friends once managed to bring David Harvey to a bar, after he had been at an academic conference in Sweden. Can't remember there being any dirty gossip, however. Sorry 'bout that.

Cool story, I always had a feeling that Harvey is not the kind of guy who would reject some good socializing :)

[gendoikari]

I'd have a beer with kim jong Il, just so i could put a fucking knife in his head. He's not even worth a bullet.

[Broletariat]

with whom*

[Tomhet]

Kim Jong Il

[Magón]

Gaddafi all the way. I mean his UN ramblings are enough to make you not want to pass up the chance to have a beer with him, and hear some more of those wonderful ramblings. :lol:

[Fulanito de Tal]

Tariq Ali to understand the Muslim world better because I feel that American education has completely left out anything not Western in history to the point that I realized only about 3 years ago that Muslim world contributed a lot to knowledge during the Western Medieval period.

[Susurrus]

It's a real hard pick between Chomsky, Zizek and Dawkins. Though all three would sound like a joke(Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins and Slavoj Zizek walk into a bar...)

[Sam_b]

None of them.

[AnonymousOne]

Dawkins, easily. I've always loved biology and there would be a lot of interesting conversation with a wide variety of topics to choose from. Nature of belief, evolution, future of religion etc.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Chomsky would turn my beer into nyquil and knock me out with his talking.

[Obs]

Chomsky would turn my beer into nyquil and knock me out with his talking.

Oh god, the talking. The endless, nonsensical, deafening fucking talking.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

If Zizek got drunk, he would make sense.

[Rusty Shackleford]

i did pick Qadhaffi though. the guy is charismatic as fuck lol.

too bad i dont speak arabic.

[ColonelCossack]

i pick gaddafi because he looks like a nice guy :lol:

[The Man]

None.

[socialistjustin]

How boring would guys like Dawkins and Chomsky be? Qaddafi looks like he would be entertaining though.

[punisa]

I think he speaks some rudimentary English so perhaps you could even get along :)

[scarletghoul]

Gaddafi and Zizek dont drink iirc which really is a shame. Kim apparently does, so probably him, we could talk about monster movies.

[scarletghoul]

lord knows why amy goodman is on that poll,, the last thing i want to hear when im drinking is that crackly middle aged voice that reminds me of the world's suffering

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Zizek or Kim. Zizek because just watching him talk when I'm sober is entertaining and Kim because I have a feeling he would say some outrageously funny things without even trying.

[Olentzero]

Tariq Ali. I've only read Street Fighting Man but that alone makes him the best choice in the crowd for me.

[Tablo]

Kim, because it would be a great chance to practice my Korean.

[Susurrus]

Kim apparently does, so probably him, we could talk about monster movies.

He only drinks imported champagne, so you'd better hope he's paying.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Apparently does? He's the world's single largest buyer of Hennessy. Sounds like he knows how to party. Or the rivers of DPRK flow with Hennessy. That would be badass.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Duh. Otherwise acknowledging they have domestic champagne would mean people had jobs...

[Apoi_Viitor]

Duh. Otherwise acknowledging they have domestic champagne would mean people had jobs...

That, plus the fact that North Korea already lacks the amount of arable land necessary to feed its population, and wasting that scarce resource on wine production would be ridiculous.

Nonetheless, I chose Kim Jung Il (obviously) because while I drink, I'd like to have fresh lobster air lifted to me.

Lol, knowing kim it would be Kobe lobster, Lobster fed with kobe beef.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Lol, knowing kim it would be Kobe lobster, Lobster fed with kobe beef.
Kim has enough money that it would be Kobe Lobster cooked by Kobe Bryant.

[gendoikari]

Kim has enough money that it would be Kobe Lobster cooked by Kobe Bryant.

where the hell does he get all this money anyway?

[Apoi_Viitor]

where the hell does he get all this money anyway?

He owns the means of production.

[gendoikari]

He owns the means of production.

So he's using it all got get hennesy and imported champagne?

[punisa]

Lol, knowing kim it would be Kobe lobster, Lobster fed with kobe beef.

Juche lobster ! :lol:

According to the press, but you never know... A great example is the bullshit slander they threw at Castro...


In 2005, American business and financial magazine Forbes listed Castro among the world's richest people, with an estimated net worth of US$550 million. The estimates, which the magazine admitted were "more art than science",[241] claimed that the Cuban leader's personal wealth was nearly double that of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, despite anecdotal evidence from diplomats and businessmen that the Cuban leader's personal life was notably austere.[240] This assessment was drawn by making economic estimates of the net worth of Cuba's state-owned companies, and used the assumption that Castro had personal economic control.[242] Forbes later increased the estimates to US$900 million, adding rumors of large cash stashes in Switzerland.[240] The magazine offered no proof of this information,[241] and according to CBS News, Castro's entry on the rich list was notably brief compared to the amount of information provided on other figures.[241] Castro, who had considered suing the magazine, responded that the claims were "lies and slander", and that they were part of a US campaign to discredit him.[240] He declared: "If they can prove that I have a bank account abroad, with US$900m, with US$1m, US$500,000, US$100,000 or US$1 in it, I will resign."

[Rusty Shackleford]

Qadhaffi doesnt drink? oh well, matybe ill have some tea with him then go drinking with... well... shit.

You know, David Harvey would be an interesting dude.

[Magón]

Once I spike Gaddafi's lemonade, he'd loosen up.

[gendoikari]

they made the mistake of assuming capital works under communism as it does in capitalism.... wow thats dumb.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

Muammar al-Gaddafi or Kim Jong-Il, without a doubt. I heard papa Kim likes expensive Spanish cognac so I could weasel my way into some free dank dranks.


Once I spike Gaddafi's lemonade, he'd loosen up.

I see you're part of the rebellion who is giving the people these hypnosis pills.


Gaddafi and Zizek dont drink iirc which really is a shame. Kim apparently does, so probably him, we could talk about monster movies.

Given both Zizek and Gaddafi's behavior, ideas and words I seriously do not believe they don't drink. Either that or they have some seriously good drugs.

[Blackscare]

where the hell does he get all this money anyway?

That's an easy and effective way to prove them wrong :lol:

[Olentzero]

Damn, how did I miss David Harvey on this list? Well, I haven't read anything or watched his lectures on YouTube yet so I guess it's understandable. Still, might be a good contender against Tariq Ali once I get around to doing so!

[Jazzratt]

Duh. Otherwise acknowledging they have domestic champagne would mean people had jobs... Either that or the soil, rainfall and all that other bollocks that wine people prattle on abbout would mean that North Korean sparkling white would taste like rat arseholes. [Then again I have tried a (presumably south) Korean white wine before and found it tasted all right, so that could all be wank]
