You're already living on Meepzorp, conehead.

So how can you call that a win?
The Communist system collapsed pretty much on its own.

Ah, so you subscribe to the belief that if a team fails to show for a match,
it isn't a win-by-default for the team that took to the strike on time?
Okay, 'nuf said.

Yeah. A real testament to that socialism you love so much, eh Bubbles.

Point was made. You have no answer. Reagan was just a link in the chain of
events.
No one said that they loved socialism. Not to sharp, are you?

Go back and re-read my posts, you brainless, dickless idiot. I never once
claimed that Reagan beat the USSR, only that he was at the helm when the
USSR failed.

Actually you said: "You mean like ending the cold war on his watch?" That
really sounds like you're giving Ronnie the credit for ending the Cold War.
Typical conservative - first you make a claim and then within two days you're
denying it.

Actually, if any president should get the credit it would be JFK - he set us on
the arms race course which, for better or worse, eventually bankrupted the USSR.

You just accused "someone" of loving socialism. Care to post where anyone said
they did? Please show everyone you're not a liar and a pinhead.
Ooops..too late!

As to a love of socialism, I believe only you fall into that
category.


LOL!!!! I never even mentioned socialism in ANY context until you just brought
it up!
Beam him, Scotty Potti!!!

Bwahahahaha!

Rational, intelligent people (all the rest of humanity) don't buy
into such a falacious socioeconomic system.

Maxipad is now speaking for all the crazies out there! Look out!!!!

Bwahahahaha! (Ozzy, I may have to use the pliars to get the hook free from
Maxipads big mouth!)

Nahhhh!!! Reagan is also behind the Back the Future movies which were popular
during his political heyday! Afterall, they were made on "his watch!"

The Craft system gave way to the Guild system when advancing technology made
crafts to difficult for one to learn on his own. Then the Guild system
morphed into capitalism when advancing technology made tools too expensive
for individual craftsmen to own. And advancing technology has been eating
away at Capitalism for nearly a century. Automation gradually replaces the
workers who both create and consume products, but what happens when
automation replaces them all? They cannot buy without wages and there can be
no profits without sales; so capitalism will collapse. Question is, what
will replace it? Socialism? Communism? Something new? The only thing
that's certain is that automation will bit by bit destroy our existing
system. Even burger-flipping will get automated. Then what will all the MBAs
do?

Is this JaxHistory?

... Then the Guild system

Not even close. Capitalism has been around longer than the guilds, in
fact the medieval guilds (some of which are properly referred to as
Craft Guilds) were a reaction to the tendency of bankers & moneylenders
to control their trades.

... And advancing technology has been eating
away at Capitalism for nearly a century.

And this automation, which I assume you refer to above as "advancing
technology" is so advanced that it pays for itself? In general,
increasing technology requires greater concentrations of capital.


... They cannot buy without wages and there can be
no profits without sales; so capitalism will collapse.

When do you think this will happen? What sort of groceries should I
stock up on?

... Question is, what

No, the question is where do you get this stuff.

.... Even burger-flipping will get automated. Then what will all the MBAs

Same thing they do now... have big circle-jerk meetings and rob Peter to
pay Paul.
