Fascism is "everything for the state, nothing outside the state." It goes well w/ socialism, because of the planning involved. It can be confusing. Not to be confused with Hitler's racism. For my definition, it's the idea that the government needs to be involved in governing everything.

Man, Harry Reid shouldn't insult Democrats like that.

While I don't disagree with the overall point of your post, the terms "capital", "capitalist" and "capitalism" were in use a good 200 years prior to Marx's use of the words. The coining of the term "mercantilism" is a much closer thing. Smith may have popularized its use, but it came into existence a few years prior, with the elder Mirabeau's writings.

I think socialism is great. There's many lazy people who don't feel like working (myself included...), and they should have homes and food.

Lex, could I interest you in a trip to the tropical socialist paradise we know as Venus? Land is cheap, food falls from the trees free to the passerbys.

Immigration has already begun, don't miss your chance to become one of the first American-Venusians.

I just don't like work. I really hope I can find a way to stop working and also not live with my parents. The status of having a job doesn't make up for the labor.

edit:

Maybe I should trick a working girl into marrying me, and then get myself fired.

I can't think of a single reason that they should...

Same. Too lazy to work for food and shelter? Guess you can go live in the woods.

Reid restates it, so yep if you don't support healthcare you supported slavery :)

No. He could not work at a jail, or at least confine his activities to taking the trash out. There's 3 hots and a cot in it for him, and the application process is remarkably easy.

Considering what you're trying to do lately Lex. May I suggest a job as a male escort? You'll combine your interest of picking up girls with being paid highly.
