talking out the side of they neck

Ok just wanted to vent a little bit. I know, I know, I do such quite frequently. But I just had to drop my purview on a trend I have noticed since the democratic nomination of Barack Obama. Seems that over this period, there has been an increased usage over a word that likely hasn’t been mentioned as frequently since the times of Roosevelt and Senator McCarthy – Socialism and its derivative socialist.

No I don’t think America has gained any insight or increased intellectual acumen over the past 30 years, in fact I would argue that we have become dumber and less informed. Yet still folk throw around the terms socialist and socialism as if the actually knows what they mean. I did not learn of socialism via the traditional mode as most, via the writings of folk like Karl Marx, but from an epistemological perspective. The majority of these folks likely repeat these words because they hear them from opponents of the current Presidential administration and singularly focus on it as being a centrally planned economy in which the government controls everything – especially with respect to the economic bail out and the heated health reform debate.

The truth is that Marx wrote only a few pages about socialism, and that these same folk likely never read the philosophical tractates on who I first learned of the concept from, John Stuart Mills (in picture). True, there may be some support that Lenin focused a substantial amount of attention on devising an economic system devoid of the incentives of profit. But from the extent to which the world economies, especially America’s are linked, it is impossible for Obama to turn America into a socialist state and only an idiot would make such an assertion, especially if we take the history of our arch historical cold war enemy, Russia.

From the years after the 1917 revolution, to the fail of the iron curtain, it is more than obvious that the tenants of socialism are counter supportive of a functional and/or planned economy. So if Obama is a socialist, so is George W. Bush, the House and the Senate for all are instituting what Lange described as “a bureaucratization of economic life.” Now what do I mean you may query? Well in this country, it is virtually impossible to implement any form of socialism because it has no means of establishing a rational pricing system and as long as greed or avarice cannot be obviated from the American psyche – we won’t have it. Moreover, for those who say that folks are using socialists’ as a new code word for nigger, you are mistaken. If anything, it is a code word for ignorance for these people have no percipience of what the word means and are merely speaking out the side of their necks.

Jones mane u the real socialist

I keep reading the suggestion that some folks, in particularly when they wanna spread the wealth are socialist. For the record, taxes would be socialism, for they spread the wealth – but im thanking and don’t want to for as any yawl who read jones here on the regular, I write what comes out my brain as most idiot savants do. Socialism from my modicum of reading on the subject is an economic doctrine that calls for public as opposed to private ownership or control of property and natural resources. These mutha fucas say that folk in general live in cooperation and as such, don’t require no LLC. Moreover, all folk who contribute to the production of a got a right to share in all attributes and share in such. What am I saying, well in essence that the control property for the benefit of all mutha fucas.

Now where did I gather this adumbrated view of socialism? Well strangely, I guess the first jones was Nietzsche, who commented on the inhumanity of Aquinas' view suggesting that the privileged will not have pity on the damned. Thomas Aquinas (fuc boy azz ni double G a) asserted that compassion only comes about when folk desire or want the suffering of others to stop, I mean I suggest that is what he meant when he wrote/said "The blessed in the kingdom of heaven will see the punishments of the damned, in order that their bliss be more delightful for them". Now true, I done read most of all the shit Marx done wrote, but I concluded he was a reverse socialist – meaning he just wanted to get paid on his views of capitalism. Now I am writing this because the impetus was via a comment left by the scholar supreme and Mr. well-read himself – Kelso, to one of the post over the last few weeks in which he astutely outlined why Obama was not a socialist. Made me think, well you know if folks would complain about the house and senate bail out bills without reading them, so too would they be likely not to have a general, if any understanding of socialism as opposed to what Sara Palin would tell you. LMBAO.


I just wanna say the only creeping socialism is proffered by Paulson and Bernake and McCain and all the bich azz folk who see Wall street as their idol. Yep, even Bush, Paulson Bich azz couldn’t even tell the folk on Capital Hill how much a dollar figure would be needed for another stimulus plan, but he could jump from make believe to 700 billion for his folk.And why, cause we regular people aint his folk.

He don’t cut his grass, or change his oil, believe that.Obama aint no socialist and it shows me more than ever that McCain isn’t well read and got PTSD - Bush, and yawl folk who got the dicks of Wall street and big business in your mouth, Jones mane u the real socialist. Using federal loot to buy banks, and bank stock – not to mention..., well let me stop, will talk about fed rserve bank later.
