mustang youre probably the most boring troll to ever harass the 'zone. far more boring than coneslammer, more boring than even deafbypills. i commend you for such an accomplishment.
#203

moosetang, youre arguing against a phantom. the zzone is filled with liberals now, none of whom believe in the revolutionary science of marxism-leninism



I'd actually prefer that people here were Leninists. Leninists are harmless and just discredit the left. It's the reasonable adult democrats who do the most damage.

You're totally right aerdil! There's no physical evidence the Berlin Wall ever happened.

I just found this. Communism vs gay rights? Rhizzone decides.

http://english.pravda.ru/russia/politics/09-06-2006/81793-communist_party-0/

The world communist movement is currently facing a major scandal. The relations between the Russian and the French communist parties have been practically ruined. The reason of the conflict lies in the negative attitude which the leader of the Russian communists, Gennady Zyuganov, expressed against the recent gay pride parade in Moscow.

The outcome of the “free love parade” in Moscow is history now. Young communists and patriots violently attacked the homosexuals and defamed them. Delegates of the French Communist Party, who took part in all events organized by the Moscow gay movement, did not hesitate to express their reaction to that.

The French communists harshly reproached their Russian colleagues of being homophobic and betraying the Marxism-Leninism ideology. The Socialistic Party of France (the country’s second largest party) supported the communists of France too.

Unlike for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the struggle for social justice implies the protection of class interests, as well as people’s rights and freedoms, including the right to choose a sexual orientation.

That is why the French communists described the Russian Communist Party as a homophobic and anti-communist organization. A member of the political bureau of the French communist organization Richard Sanchez said that they simply could not make up with such an idea. “It is nonsense for European communists. Being a communist and a homophobe at the same time is so typical of the Communist Party of Russia,” said he.

Another spokesman for the French communist party said that the CPRF was a non-communist party, which still had the communist rhetoric, but betrayed the ideals of Marxism.

The argument for libertarianism can be summed up in a sentence, economics isn't a real science so there's no way to justify government policies. But otherwise, I've presented countless objections, like the fact that Social Security is White supremacist, and you just ignore them like they don't matter.

Just stop responding to me period, please. Go on like I wasn't here. Keep posting your leftist threads and allow me to shoot them down without anyone offering a counterargument.

At least we're comparing objective measures of the level of development, which was admittedly behind that of most of the OECD, than whining about religious freedom or the status of minorities.

this reminds me, did anyone ever figure out those statistics for deaths caused by western capitalist states using the same logic that is used to get death tolls for soviet russia?

I would prefer neighborhood outhouses (stocked with peat moss and built in the community garden) to all these bourgeois individualists wrestling with their bowels atop their lonely toilets in their private privies.

aren't there health issues associated with using unprocessed person poop directly in agriculture? or does the peat moss deal with that?

Probably the right thing to do would be grow bamboo, hemp/marijuana, and I believe poplar trees are a common choice as a biological filtration system. But, there are plenty of working peat moss toilets that dump directly back into gardens in the spring, after a year of accumulation and composting. Probably the owners don't tend to have very greasy or meaty diets..

if human waste is anaerobically cold-composted (which happens in most composting latrines), then parasites and bacterial spores can be present in the finished compost, so it's risky

but if you take the trouble to aerobically compost the waste the heat generated by decomposer organisms is sufficient to kill pathogens

#233
really? how hot do those get? i thought you needed like 160F to start killing bacteria.
#234
Yes c_man, capitalist programs like medicaid have killed many thousands.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2011/03/02/why-medicaid-is-a-humanitarian-catastrophe/

Patients on Medicare were 45% more likely to die than those with private insurance; the uninsured were 74% more likely; and Medicaid patients 93% more likely. That is to say, despite the fact that we will soon spend more than $500 billion a year on Medicaid, Medicaid beneficiaries, on average, fared worse than those with no insurance at all.

they get pretty hot (as high as 120F if done right) which is more than enough to kill 99.9% of pathogens over the course of several weeks of composting

#237
educate yaselves on composting your own shit. http://humanurehandbook.com/downloads/Chapter_7.pdf (see page 147 for a chart on pathogen survival times by composting type)

one day i hope to live in a place that lets me turn my own dung into dirt and then grow vegetables with that dirt. all life is a hideous excrescence and as a proper lacanian i will fully embrace that fact

Unless you count ancient Egypt as capitalist or whatever the only famine on the same order of magnitude to the communist ones was Ireland, which happened because of the Corn Laws and taxes used to pay for welfare.
