I had nothing to do with this. /conspiracy

Anyhow... I'll look into it jacobi1...

EDIT: If you are a part of the SPC, where is it at as far as it's community? Are there many members? I've been to the website you linked me too a few times before, but only noticed now that it isn't completely abandoned.

'He isn't patriotic!'

Anyhow, I thought there was a restriction on new users as far as links? Can't that be put in place? 20 posts or so?

Cause it is spam, even though I'm eating it and it tastes so good

Strictly speaking, it is absolutely not smart to post links as a first post here. It's not a free forum, there are rules and it's been stated many times that there are limits.

Advertising isn't allowed in really any form, including to outside forums.

A suggestion would be stay here and contribute as a member. Which I don't think would be hard for you. Otherwise you will be ostracized, declared a spammer, and deleted.

At least you aren't asking for our money though.

[Mr_Canada]

I should mention to you that there is far more of an anti-socialist element with this forum then most other forums and that you will be fighting a steep battle here barring you choose to stay.

[Mr_Canada]

The links were changed Martin. They linked to images depicting spam, it was just a normal QBC (I assume?) anti-spam action, so he isn't lying to you that his links were changed.

[Mr_Canada]

And I'd like to challenge you Martin to find any communist writing I've copied and pasted from elsewhere or did not otherwise write myself.

I am used to it by now, and I enjoy the discussion and debate.

If you are actually going to stay, then welcome to CKA.

It's very rare that left-wing discussion happens here,
I'm the only Communist or even, I'd say, Socialist member here.
The rest are capitalist, with a small amount of cynical democratic socialists.
You'll probably be harassed a bit. It's very 3rd Red Scare in here.

If you can make it past all that, then again, welcome!

As in that's his cause du moment. He goes through causes like an anal retentive goes through underwear.

There are socialists like this in Canada, say over at Babble. Socialism is part of the vocabulary of politics, has been part of the Communist Movement. The first Kibutzes in Israel were based on these ideas. Also NDP hot heads have the same impulses. Personnaly I had to listen to guys like jacobi1 to get the basic ideas, classless society etc. It's useful to listen to the guy.

The Socialist Party of Canada does not advocate reformism, i.e. a platform of reforms with the aim of gradually reforming capitalism into a system that works for all. While we are happy to see the workers’ lot improved, reforms can never lead to the establishment of socialism and tends to bleed energy, ideas, and resources from that goal. Reforms fought for can, and frequently are, taken away or watered down. Rather than attempting gradual transformation of the capitalist system, something we hold is impossible and has been proven by a century of reformist platforms of so-called workers’ parties which have led instead to the reform of such parties themselves to accept capitalism, we believe that only socialism can end forever the problems of our present society such as war, poverty, starvation, inadequate health care and housing, insecurity, and environmental degradation.

Ok, i'll bite - what kind of socialism are you advocating? Currently, the Canadian political tradition is rife with democratic socialist policies (even the Conservatives), so it begs the question - how far left do you intend to go?

And how exactly, on an aside, will socialism "end forever" the political inevitability/constant of war?

[Lemmy]

Welcome, Jabobi1. Pleased to meet you. I don't know whether you're a spammer or not but judging from your initial post, you're a plagiarist. Strike 2, I'd say.

Don't assume...remember the old saying about that MrC.

I edited this thread this morning and took out the "off topic" stuff. I didn't change any links, didn't get a chance to.

Well what a mess you've made of it. Why not just delete the whole topic - the posts don't make any sense now.
