    Well, I think we'd all like to see discriminatory and unjust laws overturned, as well as pro-union, pro-equality laws enacted, but I don't think we can just say that legislation and statutes are the problem in the United States. Capitalism is the problem, whereas unjust and discriminatory laws are merely symptoms caused by capitalism.

    I would like to see the Patriot Act overturned, as well as an end to the War on Drugs and just about anything Reagan conservatives have attempted to pass.

    Of course, but there must be a point in which we realize that any reforms; any type of legislation are not going to promote revolutionary change under capitalism. Reforms are great for momentary gains, but socialist emancipation must be the goal, or else the working class will be diverted.

    I think the law allowing those hics in the militia to shoot up communist's houses should be stopped.

    in other words, minor changes just provide distraction. i agree. it would prolong the life of capitalism, and would only radicalize the far right and sedate the left.

    i am NOT advocating the status quo though. Things like the Patriot act MUST go, but marijuana laws are easy to circumvent. unless you are a grower.

    going a bit further on the subject of marijuana, ('maybe' was omitted)making private growth for personal consumption should be the goal. no profit from pot.

    The only reason there is such a long standing capitalist government in America is because of what Kassad had said "Of course, but there must be a point in which we realize that any reforms; any type of legislation are not going to promote revolutionary change under capitalism. Reforms are great for momentary gains, but socialist emancipation must be the goal, or else the working class will be diverted."

    This is already true people, meaning this is already happened. The reason why there is no true scientific example of capitalism ever working is because all capitalist nations have had to make socialist reforms to keep the people (workers) of that nation complacent. Which is where we are now in America, every time "pro-workers rights bills" are passed people feel less like they are at war with their government and thous for are diverted from revolting (which is funny because people get pissed when the government trys to give them things like free health care and actually help).
