Socialism is state capitalism, capitalism is communism for the rich. The false alternative of socialism followed the capitalist model of absolute and isolated power. The Socialist party members are the only stockholders in state capitalism.
Nature is not a real estate agent. To advance the prosperity of the whole world, the land should belong to those who get the most out of its resources. Use it or lose it. The oil does not belong to the Arab rabble, who never would have developed it if left to their severely limited intelligence. Their natural place is in the useless parts of the desert. Their ancestors were driven there as fugitives from civilization. As do all such feral tribes, they are natural thieves who want what others built. Our cowardice in allowing their rulers to get rich off our technology shows the lack of pride that dooms every civilization.
I wish people would quit getting their vocabulary from the ignorant hacks in the media. I'm really fed up with those dumbed-down nobodies being treated like they deserved their high positions. Oxymoron is being used in a way that is the opposite of its real meaning. When used the way it always had been before this decadent era, it was a complimentary term, a clever truth that sounds like a contradiction if taken literally, such as "boneless ribs, less is more, paid volunteers." In these dysfunctioal times, it is being misused to mean a stupid saying that sounds consistent if taken literally, but is nonsense according to the judgment of the speaker (whose knowledge of English is nonsense). For example, if someone thought firemen were lazy, he would express his judgment and confused English by saying that firefighter is an oxymoron. Before people starting to take role models for language from the ignorant media, that was called " a contradiction in terms." I also see here the silly idea that "oxymoron sounds like something moronic, so that's what it must mean."
They both came from the same malignant tumor of class privilege. Heirheads have the illusion that they are born to rule, so it was inevitable that anything thought up by them would turn into a party dictatorship. Ideology is a food fight at a prep school.
Better than a permissive dictionary that gives credibility to the misuse of words. Once I saw on TV someone from the dictionary publishers who refused to condemn an obviously non-existent word (similar to Sarah Palin's "refudiate"), saying that if enough people used it, then it would become acceptable. Yet you look up to people like that and think that anyone who doesn't is arrogant. The reason these hacks appease the dumbed-down is that they make most of their money from selling dictionaries to college students. Realizing that college graduates are not really educated, but not wanting to offend their best customers by proving their English is so ignorant, they go along with any illiteracy that the media role models inflict on the public. So anything goes. People today are under the illusion that anyone who achieves a position of authority must deserve it.
