defining words the bourgeoise use..

[R_P_A_S]

The bourgeoisie uses some fancy and cozy sounding words so that their exploitations don't seem that harsh, or so they don't appear as brutal as they really are. for example..

FREE TRADE, it sounds nice and cool.. wow free? that must be good! I can't think of any more. but please add to the listen and provide THE REAL DEFINITION and what they try to make us think it means..

get it?

[cenv]

Freedom of the Press - Yay, now anyone can say whatever they want! Well, anyone that has the money to own a newspaper, anyway...
Globalization - Awesome... global stuff is always good. It helps connect different cultures, and... oh, hey, wait, a minute, global exploitation isn't so hot.

[Fawkes]

Basically "Free" anything sounds good. They also like to use very subjective words like "good" and "evil" and "wrong" or "right".

[Janus]

Equal opportunity=everyone has the same basic opportunities but due to socio-economic backgrounds, the rich can afford a much greater advantage.

Social mobility i.e. "Rags to Riches": A fairy tale.

[Kropotkin Has a Posse]

What they call "freedom" and "democracy" are good examples.

The "freedom" of one group to exploit another, the "democracy" of a handful of would-be elites who were chosen in a questionable electoral process after a series of character attacks and hollow rhetoric in the months leading to it...

i'm fascinated at how the bourgeoise use the words premier and dictator

premeir - basically it means dictator who could be committing all kinds of attrocities, but because he supports capitalism and the U.S., we'll give him this nice little name. Example: Ngo Dinh Diem

dictator - evil person who does not support capitalism or u.s., but probably has support of the people. Examples: Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc.

[R_P_A_S]

Freedom, "freedom to do whatever we want"

-if you have money!

[Pirate Utopian]

3rd World Countries = how is that gravel your eating?, well better get back to my caviar

[Eleutherios]

Supply and demand: The supply of things that corporations can dupe people into buying, and the demand of those who happen to have enough money to buy them.

[R_P_A_S]

anyone have a good one for.. "SURPLUS VALUE"

[Question everything]

SURPLUS VALUE= the average american's weigst (sorry for typo) line.

[Janus]

anyone have a good one for.. "SURPLUS VALUE"
Surplus value is a Marxist term but in simple terms, I suppose it can be defined as the profit that is stolen from the worker's labor.

[Rawthentic]

Maybe this, the change in terms: War Department...Security Department...Department of Homeland Security.

Big Government:
Capitalist Definition: The government spending too much money and being to intrusive.
True Definition: Basically whenever the government does something for the poor working people. For example universal healthcare is big Government, Corporate Subsedies are not.

Radical Trouble Makers:
Capitalist Definition: CRAAAZZYYY anarchists going around burning things just to hurt people
True Definition: Mass movements for freedom and equality

Law and Order:
Capitalist Definition: keeping the order in society and making sure the law is respected.
True Definition: "Lets shoot those sons of *****es with the red flags"

Market Forces:
Catpitalist Definition: The Magical invisible hand that makes sure everything is good and fair.
True Definition: Walmart, GE and Other Massiave Corporate Forces.

Terrorists:
Capitalist Definition: Insane Islamic loonies that will kill themselves just to hurt innocent people because they hate freedom.
True Definition: Any Muslim that opposes the United States, and some who under extreme oppression will turn to extreme violence in a feeble attempt to stop the Imperialist Bulldozer.

Guerrillas:
Capitalist Definition: Insane Latin American Loonies that will kill and hurt innocent people and deal drugs, just to hurt people and they want a dictatorship.
True Definition: Any latin American that opposes the United states, and some who go into the jungle to fight a system that won't allow change any other way.

Free-market= The freedom of the capitalist class to exploit the working class and destroy the environment.

Globalisation= The even greater freedom of the capitalist class to exploit the working class and destroy the environment anywhere they like. If a country doesn't have cheap labour, anti worker laws, lax environmental restrictions and huge tax breaks then its manufacturing will disappear to places that does. Capital knows no borders. Essentially globalisation= a global race to enflict the greatest damage and most human suffering.

Democracy= The farcical process by which the bourgeoise obtain legitimacy for running society in their interests.

Economic reality= The situation whereby, eventhough the producing class (proletariat) is producing wealth in greater quantities than ever, the eternally idle bourgeoise want a bigger share of the pie so we must have low wages, crumbling public services and pathetic pensions, whilst they live in sickening luxury. UK chancellor Gordon Brown loves that term.

you've probably read Chomsky before, so I don't want to any you, but you know that the "Invisible Hand" was used as a metaphor for social programs

capitalists use it in the context he gave.

[manic expression]

Rule of Law = Rule of the Rich

[Fawkes]

Justice = anything to keep the workers separated.
