    It’s not an empirical claim if you have literal examples of how badly “communism” (self-serving oligarchy) has failed.

    I’ll start with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. And I hope I don’t even need to point out what Mao did to China.




  • Communism A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the news media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

    Oh wait. that’s capitalism. I don’t know how I got those two systems confused.






  • Before the 90s. I think the best time for cable TV was between 1982 and 88. MTV wasn’t crap. The History Channel had actual history shows and the Discovery Channel always had top notch science shows. We also had “Night Flight” on “USA’s Up All Night.” They would run back to back episodes, starting at 9pm on Saturday nights and ending around 4-5am Sunday.

    Anyone who remembers 80s cable TV should feel incredibly ripped off by what they’re showing today.
