Browncoats = rightwing Tea Party fascists
ReplyDeleteWe need a Unification war, TODAY.
Lighten up, Francis.
DeletePlease look up the meaning of fascism.
DeleteThen look up the meaning of socialism and see the glaring similarities.
DeleteAin't lookin' to start another war. If you want a fight, I suggest you head to the closest Alliance-friendly bar, dong ma? I'll be the sailor with the brown coat and the big gun.

To the first Anonymous: Did you ever even watch the show? Do you know what Fascism is? And how does standing up for the individual Liberties and limited government that are spelled out in the US Constitution equate to Fascism?
DeleteAll liberals are fascists but don't know it.
DeletePart of the problem is that fascism is confused with Nazism. Socialism/communism wants the government to own all means of production. Fascism allows for private ownership but the government controls everything. For the common good, of course.
ReplyDeleteFascists are socialists who realize that they like guns after all.
DeleteNah, that doesn't fit. Show me a socialist who doesn't love guns as long as the government (i.e. them) is the ones pointing them at the people. As for the more violent form of socialist, the communist, Stalin himself said "Political power comes from the end of a gun." so we know they love guns.
DeleteThe difference really does seem to be fascists are content to leave the means of production in private hands so long as those hands are in bed with The Party and willing to do what they are told.
Mao Zedong said it. The point is the same.

ReplyDeleteWe're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort-of-executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two thirds majority, in the case of more . . .

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
DeleteSounds more like those OWS loons, sitting in the park with all the quirky hand signals.
Delete"Sounds more like those OWS loons, sitting in the park..."
DeleteBingo. "Anonymous" appears to be a stellar example of the public education system's intent. 'Up is down', 'left is right' and 'socialism and fascism are polar opposites'. Strutting ignorance, backed by the moral authority of Jon Stewart.
Witt's End: that was hilarious. I don't even think we're on the same page, but hell with it: super funny.
DeleteThis is a definition for you
