Shred Room 13: Now with 99% more misfortune!

1. Obama and his policies are nowhere near Marxist ideals. The picture is a silly representation designed so that easily fooled American republicans will have heart attacks thinking that the Cold War was fought for nothing.

2. Obama would be considered a centrist in almost any other developed state, possibly even right wing. The fact that Amercans have failed to notice this is testament to the fact that the nation has been gripped by so many far-right governments in the past hundred years.

3. As a politics student, this image makes me laugh, but also makes me concerned to think that such a now widely accepted area of important state policy can be opposed by so many for basically nominal reasons.

4. The image should really show Engels as well, he was the real Marxist of the two.

5. "Liberal" is not left wing. "Socialist" is left wing. "Liberal" means something else. Learn the difference.

6. Morning shred.

I'm in a ranting mood, so as long as the discussion keeps away from things I will rant about, it's all good.

You can talk about anything you like, this is the shred, where free speech almost reigns.

I can see the headlines now. "Local Teen gets 'Psycho Killer' Stuck in Head, Grizzly Suicide Follows".

Psycho Killer is a song and it is really catchy. I was reading Cracked and they mentioned it, so now it is stuck in my head.

Hi guys.

History research can be so dense.

The final track of the Epignosis album failed... don't know if it's the file or my antivirus that is blocking the file... but I have only heard the first four tracks...!!!

Yeah it probably does, but they are both excellent albums.
