    Angry Profoundly shocking example of Capitalist criminality

    I saw this the other day, and I nearly fell off my chair. I don't really have any commentary on this, it pretty much says it all:

    Those who do not move, do not notice their chains" - Rosa Luxemburg
    "They call it the 'American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it." -
    George Carlin

    "If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace" - John Lennon

    I wouldn't call it shocking. That's how Capitalism has always worked and that's how it will always work. The people with huge amounts of money are more or less immune to justice, while those without money will get oppressed.

    So, I wouldn't call this shocking - Since it is what I (and I believe many of us) have grown used to expecting from Capitalism. "Disgusting" seems to be the right word here.

    [FONT=Verdana]You are absolutely right to expose this vile hypocrisy, this lying pretence that we have “quality before the law” and with it that great capitalist ‘democratic’ fraud that pretends that the votes of millions are a check on the tyranny of the rich.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana] It may or may not be shocking on Revleft but it will shock, disturb and agitate those who have so far been mislead and duped by all the lying propaganda about liberal liberty, equality and fraternity and the ‘American dream’, now rapidly becoming a nightmare again for tens of millions.

    Vile, pathetic and disgusting. How many homes were foreclosed and how many lives destroyed by that capitalist pig? And a homeless man added to the largest prison system in the world to pay for a roof. This is an excellent example of bourgeoisie propaganda. Reading the articles seperately you wouldn't think much of it.

    I saw this some time ago. Quite shocking, I agree.

    Ugh. That's horrendous. Not shocking though, to be honest.

    This disgusts me on such a level that is immensely difficult to put into words.

    Well it's official. The Justice system is now trolling us.
    "The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them" - Lenin
    "The modern proletarian class doesn't carry out its struggle according to a plan set out in some book or theory; the modern workers' struggle is a part of history, a part of social progress, and in the middle of history, in the middle of progress, in the middle of the fight, we learn how we must fight..." - Rosa Luxemburg

    Cliche quotes, but sums up my revolutionary beliefs. Fuck your long boring reformist theories and fuck waiting for a revolution, I'm gonna buy me some land and start a self-sufficient Commune, and it's gonna kick ass, and it's gonna have cute as fuck rabbits, and chickens, and solar panels, and black jack, and all of you are fucking invited.

    This is just depressing. I don't have any energy left for anger right now. There's so much to be appalled with in this world.
