That said I think a Marxist-communism and anarchism have much more in common than people think. |

I'm making my argument from a Marxist perspective, wherein Marx never wrote more than a pamphlet about communism or socialism in any sense. He never articulated how to set up a communist or socialist society, only hinted at it in fact. The large majority of his work is basically concerned with all the ways in which capitalism is brutal and inefficient. Not arguing with you, just making a distinction between Marxism and communism more than anything. |

I'm totally aware of that. Just saying maybe it's time to occupy a Target or something? |

Lenin himself stated that the Soviet Union was not communist, but a "state capitalist" (his words) society. The reason for the failure to overturn the appropriation and distribution of surplus was a fear of losing the support of the peasantry after having gone through WWI, a civil war, the revolution and an invasion by France, the USA, and the UK. No one thought that changing the employer-employee relationship was a good political move since the country was devastated. Granted, the employer effectively became the State, but the overwhelming majority of the relationship remained unchanged. You get similar problems in China and North Korea and Cuba since they are all effectively state capitalists to varying degrees and are still exposed to the bipolar highs and lows of capitalist economics. |

I'm assuming you think we have more than a nominal "democracy" in this country? |

Occupy Wall Street: Penning and Macing Protestors

There are more. There's been a lot posted at MR Zine and Monthly Review.
And frankly, I think the goal is pretty well established. This is an effort to remove private funding of all political campaigns and overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision. The negative coverage this action has been getting is pretty reprehensible, but I echo fatatty's summary. |

It's the easiest way to make sure everyone hears what is being said. NPR remarked that this is "weird and strange" but in fact, this is how you did it before loudspeakers. Same with the show of hands: an early method of voting. |

Maybe, instead of making an enemy of someone in the situation of working an equally shitty and humiliating job, you could go in and start working towards workplace democracy? |

Token Libertarian Girl submitted a YouTube question for the last GOP debate
09/27/11, 17:09
Someone, anyone really, needs to explain the difference between a defined benefit plan and a defined compensation plan and the risk involved with the latter. Of course, this is a libertarian so that entire sentence is probably more thought than they've ever put into the question in the first place. |

I'm curious to know whether she went to the historically esteemed (and expensive as hell) School of the Art Institute of Chicago or if she went to one of those for-profit throwaway "Art Institutes" which happened to be located in Chicago. |

This is the pang of shame I feel whenever I'm in Wal-Mart or Target and it is announced that all the employees are required to gather for the "beginning of shift huddle". |
