as YF's token pierced tattooed female goth into d&b and pro whale while anti child I'm covering so many bases I don't have time to be either communist or facist or liberal or republican sorry

but I do think off topics needs less threads about other sports and more threads about cool things like fave muppet or 101 ways to topiary your garden

Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

It well recalls the triumphs past,
It gives the hope of peace at last;
The banner bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Yes, I believe a moustache like that could qualify him for a parade or two.

communism is like threesomes... sounds great in theory but never works properly if you try and put it into practise

not sure it's actually been tried. most revolutions or movements that started socialist and/or communist  quickly turned into various forms of hierarchical/totalitarianism. FWIW Socialism is not possible without Democracy and that requires a fit, informed, educated and active society.
Sadly we seem light years away from this.

yeah preferably after smashing the opposition into the ground before forcing them to sign it.
also FTA's work well when you yourself have a heavily protectionist foundation to negotiate from. This protectionism was in fact a core tenant of your nation having wealth and trade in the first place.

Arise, wretched of the earth
Arise, convicts of hunger
Reason thunders in its crater
This is the eruption of the end
Of the past let us wipe the slate clean
Enslaved masses, arise, arise
The world is about to change its foundation
We are nothing, let us be all
 |: This is the final struggle
  Let us group together, and tomorrow
  The Internationale
  Will be the human race :|

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

I had no idea anti-fascists made such funny TV - especially on 'The Word'. The audience participation is priceless - but I bet most of the fashion on display wasn't available east of Berlin cira 1994!
