I'm no racist and I don't understand what's his problem with Jews, Slavs and people who paint skies green and fields blue, but goddamn, that was an awesome man. They don't make politicians like that anymore. He wanted to create a new world, a new human race. All you can expect from contemporary politicians is that they want to raise or decrease taxes by 0.6%. Maybe it's just the times we live in. Stalin and Churchill were pretty cool too. Roosevelt otoh was pretty lame.

And where can we walk away to? Where is there a single piece of arable land unaccounted for? Nowhere. Because the first thing the Nationalist system requires an accounting and division of the land so that it may then exploit its resources and/or found it's economic framework. A "survivalist or whatever?"? I don't want to be a survivalist. I don't just want to survive, I want to live, free. "...why do you keep living that lifestyle?" You think I have an SUV and go to Starbucks? Or anything similar? Look, you don't know anything about my lifestyle, and I don't know anything about yours. Folks here sure are comfortable creating information out of thin air. Too bad it's usually incorrect and hampers the exchange of facts. Most normal people do not suffer from affluent society syndrome and simply enjoy their wealth without letting it corrupt them...
What I called Affluent Society Syndrome must be understood from a sociological perspective. Read some Toynbee, realize that when one allows themselves to be a part of a corrupt system that they are fairly called corrupt, and read some British history. Though the 19th century was the century the Empire fell, to say that it was not still an affluent society is wrong.
You seem to want to argue, and that's okay with me, but I expect you to think about what you really know, and don't know before posting. As it stands you just seem like another slave to me, wanting to show me how pretty his chains are, and telling me I'm a jerk 'cause I don't want a set just like 'em. It's sad. 'Cause we can do so much better.
