Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves.

Finance is literally the highest pursuit. It's the actual politics of how the world runs. The visible politics is just theatre.

Aristotle, the guy who invented logic, observed that the greatest justices and injustices in the world are accomplished in the interactions between men. finance, the ways we exchange value, boil down to nothing more than trust and agreements.

That's what I will never understand about these people. I'm an undergrad at a shitty state school, and a member of the "Honor's College," which is basically an in for research projects as an undergrad. Long story short, random classes are required of honor's students, presumably for a wide breadth of study... So I find myself in this fucking social science class, and a literal woman's studies major and the "social science" professor got into a yelling match about whether blacks were more prone to heart disease.

For some perspective, the woman's studies girl just could not stop choking on black cock as reparations for slavery, or something, but admitted medical differences. And the professor was trying to say that no such physical differences could possibly exist because "race is a social construct."

None of your rethoric matters because you fuckers don't move to those countries with a communist vanguard party in power. Not only do you not move, you have to prevent mass flight from those countries. There is a reason the East Germany built a wall and West germany didn't. This trend doesn't only exist between countries, but within too, for example the mass migration out of California. You fuckers never stay in the systems you advocate or live by them, there a reason no-one was suprised when John Oliver did that segment about how New York is more segregated than the South (even under Jim Crow)

No one cares about your word games.

Please commie tard
as a member of a country which believe in your fucking rhetoric, stop spreading this cancer, communists are basically the master sophists, making arguments as they go on to fit their narrative.

Stop the victimization, 80% of poor people are poor because of stupidity in their actions, they live thought life without pursing anything of note, they live to rest, not to create.
