I mean if the Soviet Union was still in place, we'd all be joining up immediately right?

no

You can say no, but the 2nd biggest party here is now openly Socialist...

@Pondo looks like a lab mix really, a lot of labs look fat due to how their chests are shaped. Add in a short leg body fron whatever he is mixed with (daucshound?) and labs can look really fat

it's a Shiba

our Shadow Chancellor wants to overthrow capitalism as a current policy :S

and they have about a 40% chance of being elected right now

how is this a thing in 2018

we really fucked up

someone fucked up big time

I think they're now desperately trying to wash their hands of it

we allowed this

2008 Financial crash was the key point for the UK

however, unpopularly, I'll state 2008 didn't cause it, 2008 just accelerated it

are you talking about UK, Germany or US

UK

im confuzzled

oh

we had a rather Marxist government, but understood the need for market support

you know the old saying "if you can, do; if you can't, teach"

however they were very creative with teh accounts

and if you can't teach, get into politics?

if you can't teach, burn the whole operation down

🇫🇷

We do know that in the 30s the Soviet was teaching american intellectuals at Moscow's university. There was also a large group of wealthy intellectual black Americans that went there for school in the 30s @MikeRox

Then they came back to teach

so the UK was spend spend spend, shiny new schools, shiny new hospitals, everyone happy with their wonderful new infrastructure. But spending way beyond means, and back loading the financial burden. Then 2008 happens, oh crud we need to bail out the banks, deficit spirals.

2010 Saint David of Cameron marches in on his bright white horse and his chief advisor Gideon Osbourne. Well the problems are we've been spending too much, and we need to spend less.

2018... "cuts" have gone on, and on, and still we spend more than we bring in via tax receipts. However after 8 years, and a noticeable impact on front line services, Saint Jezza Corbyn comes in promising free everything, because it's the elites that have stolen everything.

This is my warped simplistic view, but seems to make the most sense as to why we are so openly entertaining a return to socialism.

There was also a group of Marxists from Germany and France that came to US in the middle of 20th century 🤔

@Coochie coo terrifying really. Funny how it's always the middle classes that know what's best for the poor/working class.

Seems like it

Have you heard of the Fabian society?

ive heard bout it because Nehru was part of it

And the Frankfurt School?

India's first PM

yeah the Frankfurt School pretty much relocated to US didn't they

Have no clue

The two old logos of the fabian society are creepy, they've changed it sense lol

The first one was the tortoise, a slow and steady push for socialism, "When I strike I strike hard"

The the second was the wolf wearing a sheep, pretty sinister

lol the tortoise
