He'll be a bigger nightmare than Blair. He's more Socialist for starters.

The man needs a personality transplant...I cant remember the last time he smiled. And he's spent ten years in the Treasury and never moved around like other ministers...which worries me. I'd rather have a calculator as prime minister than him.

What wrong with Socialism? Ask what's wrong with Communism, because by definition they are both the same.

I think exactly the same as I did before he was Prime Minister - he is a white supremacist.

He may cut down on crime but as far as taxing the general public, he's gonna be the biggest bogey monster this country has ever seen. Maybe the streets will be safer but our pockets will be a lot thinner.

Anyways I don't have trust in anyone who comes into power.

If you need to ask that then there's no point in explaining anything further.

Look around you. The average housing estate should pretty much tell you how useful Socialism is. Good for single mothers I guess but little else.

WWWebster Dictionary

Main Entry: so?cial?ism
Pronunciation: 'sO-sh&-"li-z&m
Function: noun
Date: 1837

1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.

Part 3 is what's is wrong with Socialism.

Deaths attributable to world communism/socialism in the 20th century;

“USSR: 20 million, China: 60 million, Vietnam: 1 million, North Korea: 2 million, Cambodia: 2 million, Eastern Europe: 1 million, Latin America: 150,000, Africa: 1.7 million, Afghanistan: 1.5 million, The international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power: about 10,000. The total approaches 100 million killed”.

Pretty good indication as to what's wrong with it as well.

Even Lenin described the non-communist, socialist left as
“useful idiots”

Mugabe tried Socialism when he took the Land off the white farmers, and then handed them back out to people who couldn't do shit with them.

Republicans and even right-wingers support the taking of one American's earnings and giving them to farmers, banks, airlines and other failing businesses. Democrats and other left-wingers support taking the earnings of one American and giving them to the poor people, cities, museums and artists. Both sides all agree on taking one American's citizens earnings to give to another; the only difference between them the recipients of these earnings. That's the sort of congressional activity that constitutes at least two-thirds of the federal budget. In here in the UK, it's pretty much the same. Only that lets say, around £10 million a year is spent on Women's anorexia, yet a bigger problem is teenage male suicide, and £0 pound gets spent on that. How about equality in the health service? The great NHS. The spending on Prostate Cancer compared to Breast Cancer is laughable. Socialism generally treats males as second class citizens. This is the sort of nonsense I am FORCED to give money to.

A Socialist is merely a polite Communist. A socialist believes himself moral because he only uses coercion instead of murder to gain his ends. (But the ends are ultimately the same.)


What is the real essence of slavery? It's the forceful use of one person to serve the purposes of another person.

When this government takes my earnings and turns around to give it to another person in the forms of prescription drugs, Social Security, farm subsidies or airline bailouts, it is forcibly using one person to serve the purposes of another. Worse thing is, the harder I work, the worst I get taxed. Not only that this government which is Socialist in nature doesn't even serve me.

Yet if I used "my money" that gets handed down to others who have done nothing to deserve it, for let's say my own private health care then I wouldn't have to be concerning myself about the unfairly disproportionate funding of cancer between genders. Sooner or later in time people are going to.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." is not a statement that I agree with evidently.

And now with the new Green agenda where people will get "fined" for not putting the correct Rubbish in their bins, that's just another side of socialism at work. In Iran they take the bins away everyday, and now it's a problem to do it here weekly now. So I of course have to pay even more taxes to support those who want to enforce this law in the first place, and then can turn around and fine me, or just merely charge me for emptying my bins. No doubt I'll be paying for those ID cards you'll be supporting soon enough, and of course the poor not begin able to pay, I get to work harder to pay even more through life.

The UK is a socialist country in all but name.

So what political policies do you adhere to???

I would much rather have socialism than conservatism especially as a black person.

Perhaps you can educate us further!!!

@ PM

Think you'll find there was a bit of a war going on at around that time which involved agancies hiring the worst of men to slash and burn territories that would otherwise fall to communism/socialism. Those deaths and thier policies are megre in comparision to those dead and dying in the name of capitalism/piracy. Theres no comparision between the two, if Africa took up Socialist Communist politics we'd all be better off... we're all too close to be stuck in the cog wheels of capitalism, a system based on wants, envy and greed... each man wanting something someone else has, something he ultimately can't afford and so consigns himself to debt in order to get. If you look at the psycology of Capitalism you'll see how genuinely ugly a system it is.

Even the caveman had a cave to live in as the saying goes/went, the same isn't true in regards to capitalism .lol.

The only problem with socialism is that this isn't a socialist system. WTF is socialism within Capitalism? Things may be all light and fluffy ,'lets get together and go green' with browns home land policies but I doubt he'll help change Britians/Europes/Amerikas economic stance toward the on going rape and piliage of our homelands which causes people to migrate to these countries in the first place... being nice to the people whos country you are plundering probably stinks more than being honest and evil with it.

No sympathy for the Devil as they say... hope he gets hit by a car with a desiel engine.


Black Lion is... Agu Bu Oji in Igbo, Simba nyeusi in Swahili, the name of a hospital in Addis Adaba the capital of Ethiopia.
