What a pleasant fairytale of capitalism! They forgot to leave out all of the union busting strikes and imperialist wars. Enjoy and try not to laugh too hard. Anxious as to how the capitalist supporters will respond to this one.

Notice how the idiot conflates with environment concern and animal rights with being "naughty"? What a dork!

GLENN: I was out at, I think it was in Melbourne or Orlando. A guy named John Rossi, Dr. Rossi, he handed me a piece of paper. He said, would you read this. And I've been telling you on the air that when I meet people, I take all of the letters that I get and I read them on the bus or on the plane as I go from city to city. He said, you really do read things? And I said, yeah, of course I do. He said, read this. I want to share this with you. I think this is fantastic. He's never written anything before. He's just -- he just got up in the middle of the night and wrote this: "Once upon a time there was a very happy couple. Their names were freedom and capitalism. They married and had many wonderful children. Their names were independence, self-worth, hard work, dignity, charity, faith and hope. They all lived happily for many years and the children respected their parents and loved them both very much. But freedom and capitalism later had several naughty children, very naughty. They weren't so respectful and never appreciated their parents. Their names were wealth envy, environmentalism, animal rights activism, racism, feminism, ultra liberalism. These evil children blamed their parents for everything and hated their parents' freedom and capitalism. In fact, these unappreciative children began to hate their parents since they didn't realize their parents gave them everything they had and didn't realize that they wouldn't even exist without their parents. They hated their parents so much, they began to plot with their neighbors to kill their parents and to keep their home. Their neighbors' names were socialism and communism who on the outside were a very lovely couple but inside they were very, very ugly. They and their children, whose names were despair, poverty, suffering, and repression had been welcomed into every neighborhood they had lived in. But then thrown out after years of suffering and the loss of many lives. So late one night in total darkness because socialism and communism did everything in darkness and the way from the light of the truth, while everyone was asleep, wealth envy, environmentalism, feminism, animal rights, by their younger obnoxious brother, Hollywood, disguised by socialism and communism and let them into the house, freedom and capitalism. It wasn't hard for the two parents, freedom and capitalism, always left their gates and their door open for everyone. Wealth led the way because he knew the house oh, so well. The evil children led socialism and communism throughout the house, one room at a time. And one at a time they killed hard work, then dignity, then independence, self-worth, charity and faith. They finally found the room of freedom and capitalism and killed them as well. It wasn't hard to do, since freedom and capitalism always left their door unlocked and open for everyone. Only hope survived. Hope survived hiding in the closet. She ran out during the ensuing celebration. After socialism and communism moved in, things went well for a while but then they decided they didn't like freedom and capitalism's evil children, either. They wanted their own children to have the rooms in their new house. So late one night in total darkness because socialism and communism did everything in darkness and away from the light of the truth, they sent their children to kill freedom and capitalism's remaining evil children. Poverty and suffering killed environmentalism and animal rights first, for they were so hungry, they had to kill all the animals for food and the trees for their wood. And besides, why should animals have rights if people don't? Hopelessness killed liberalism, the retarded brother of communism. Then poverty, suffering, and repression killed feminism. The retarded sister of liberalism. And Hollywood, the young obnoxious son of freedom and capitalism, was also killed. Finally, wealth envy, who led the attack on his parents, died at the hands of poverty since there was nothing left to envy.

So socialism and communism and their children, poverty, despair, hopelessness, suffering, repression lived in the once beautiful home of freedom and capitalism which was now in great disrepair and they all lived sadly ever after. All that was left of the family of freedom and capitalism was hope who was quietly hiding in the woods.

He's going to make that into a children's book coming soon. I wish I could discourage him so then I could steal the material and make it into a children's book myself but unfortunately I don't have wealth envy. Not one of my children. I'm glad to see somebody was out there that gets up in the middle of the night and says, "Oh, I have an idea." Only, only in a country where freedom and capitalism reign can someone get up in the middle of the night, have an idea, hand it off to somebody in a bookstore who had another idea in the middle of the night and then two days later have that person read it and encourage that person to publish it into a children's book because he will encourage his listeners to go out and support that guy who got up in the middle of the night and jotted down a few ideas.

...I'm terribly sorry- but I'm not getting at your point, and the story was fucking retarded anyways. If you did copy it; you wouldn't be clouded by "wealth envy," you'd be clouded by plain old stupidity. :)

P.S: Use some damn paragraphs next time. :rolleyes:

No, and the bourgeois alphabets will be banned.

We will develop telepathy.

Anyway, I agree the story is a load of crock. In reality, Socialism and Communism's kids beg Freedom and Capitalisms kids for their pocket change, making them trinkets for $1/day.

This happens to the other kids of the neighborhood too- the kids of Capitalism and War, the kids of Capitalism and Religious Fundamentalism, the kids of Capitalism (he cheats on freedom a lot) and Famine, etc- they all have to beg the children of Capitalism and Freedom for scraps of food because as it turns out- the kids of Capitalism and Freedom are spoiled little fucks who beat the shit out of the weaker kids to extort them for resources or labour. That's why Socialism and Communism's kids have to round all the other kids up in the neighborhood to fucking kill the spoiled brat children of Capitalism and Freedom, as well as Capitalism himself.

Do you understand, Mr. Lincoln? :cool:

Capitalism is obviously the only system under which children's books will be published. I'm pretty sure no one on RevLeft read children's books when they were little, because those are for the bourgeois.

It's funny that in the story Capitalism and Freedom give birth to racism...


Anyway, the guy who wrote this is obviously off of his rocker.
