Why Socialism Is Doomed Thread (Hee hee hee hee)

[Vrylakas]

Now everyone just relax, this is not meant to be serious at all. Here is a link to a very funny "news" article from The Onion, an American gag paper. No need for polemics; just read and laugh....

Good find! To me, it's a sad story. I hope someone finds it funny.

 

[Flatlander Fox]

Nice find!

Very funny, but I imagine that a Capitalistic one would even be funnier!

 

[Ancient Grudge]

Yeah, nice catch. I'm a hard-core socialist and _I_ laughed my ass off.
The Onion seems to have been slipping ever since they hightailed it to NY, minus of course thier masterpeice 9/11 issue - occasionally though we get a great one like this.
The other great quote in this issue was (In the "what do you think" section, regarding the Republican takeover): "Well, its said that people get the government they deserve, but I don't remember knife-raping any ******** nuns."
As for a capitalist one - maybe I could write it. But then again, the kids in the local Ayn Rand Worship Club probably have a maid for thier apartment or something...

That was a funny. I'm feeling a little sorry for those three guys.

God, the Onion is funny. I have all their books and a subcription to their newspaper (Yes, they actually do print a newspaper. Most of it is just porn ads).
