Is GW Bush a communist?

His administration cut the funding to strength the levies,
what was considered the #1 risk for natural disasters in the nation.

Was he thinking let N.O. sink so that the nation would 'reach out'
and bring the survivors to other parts of the country and
thus force cultural change?

Not only in the spread of N.O. food, music, and other cultural things,

but also to focus the rest of the country on the race and class issues
the the nation tries oh-so-desperately to ignore.

'What? Class? We don't have that. We're not England you know'


ha. a joke.
while the Soviet Union sucked, it was more of a state-capitalism
model than that of communism. no real communist would kill (in theory
anyway. they'd probably try to convert you)


The gov't,
because it is run by a super-rich oligarchy (on this point I am not pointing
specifically at the Bush klan, but major players in the pol parties, contributors, the revolving door between industry and agencies that
are supposed to police them)
something like

"The vast majority of the 54 million Americans who own stock own very little of it, and receive only token dividend payments. Likewise, the 45 per cent of dividend recipients making under $50,000 a year collect a tiny proportion of total dividends. Some 62 per cent of all dividend payments go to the top five per cent of the population. The top one per cent of the population collects more dividends than the bottom 50 per cent."

Booyakasha!

That is your oligarchy,
they don't give a rats-patoot about you or me,
don't care if we sink like N.O.
Only when it happens on a grand scale like this do
they have to do something, for P.R. or stay in power.
I do not know. Maybe Clinton would have been 1 day earlier
or not. But he too worked for the ultra-rich corporate oligarchy
that only change to keep things the same. As the robber barrons
did when they invented the P.R. industry.

ok, Bush is a commie because he purposefully didn't fix the levees and knew that a catagory 4 hurricane would strike the city on his watch? That he not only is not interested in the style of cultural life produced by the city,but that he has an animus to it so strong he'd do all he could to see the city destroyed? Whereever your mind reading machine is, you need to bring it out for public use. Just think of how much good it could do in court...

The N.O. disaster is the result of a lot of things over a number of years. A poor state without the money to fix the problem themselves, administrations with other priorities over the years, and national politicians from every state more interested in bringing pork back to their own districts than in evaluating the needs of the nation and acting accordingly. So no, Bush isn't a communist. He's just one more politician without a crystal ball and with an agenda that made New Orleans and its levees fly under the radar.

It is in the general section.
Why should it be locked?

Actually Marx was not against religion, fyi.
He never had any intention of getting rid of people's religion.
And most of the communists in Latin America come from a religious
background.
To them and many communism and christianity are not incompatable.

I think you just want it locked because it seemingly dissed something close
to your heart. But this is the general section.

Gaaack! Not that term again!

Horrendously innacurate and oxymoronic. It's doublethink in action kids. The Soviet Union was socialist, the state ran all industries and agriculture. That is the definition of socialist. A capitalist is inherently free of the influence of the state, and is also in a competitive market. Neither of which existed in the Soviet Union. The term State Capitalism is a fine example of double think. The proper term for the Soviet Union is: Totalitarian Socialism.

no real communist would kill

Not a true scotsman fallacy in action.

His administration cut the funding to strength the levies
The article from factcheck.org (http://factcheck.org/article344.html) says "It is not so clear whether the money Bush cut from levee projects would have made any difference". So while the cut was bad public relations, I don't think one can claim it "caused" or "worsened" anything until we get the results of the called-for investigation.

-----

As for your plutocratic oligarchy theories, you show a link that demonstrates that there are rich people in the USA but nothing that shows they control government or policy. However, here are some things thwarting that theory.

First, no single individual can donate more than $2,000 per candidate per race. It's the law, and it's enforced. So you can't just buy a candidate outright. It takes a group of people.

So let's look at private organizations. Here (http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.asp?Order=A&View=P) is a list of the top campaign contributors. These are party-wide contribution numbers, but I don't know where to get trustworthy Bush-specific numbers for individual contributors.

Here (http://www.opensecrets.org/presidential/summary.asp?ID=N00008072) are some 2004 Presidential Campaign budget numbers for George W. Bush. $271,814,020 (or 74%) of his donations are from private donors.

So how many organizations does it take to get up to $271 million dollars (I'm counting only the Republican portion of the donations, since Bush is a Republican)? With a little math and a spreadsheet program, I find it crosses the line at #43, the Bank of America. So, assuming the biggest contributing organizations care only about the Presidential election, it still takes all of the top 43 to add up to Bush's contributions. Go ahead, read through the contributors list again. What's the combined membership of all of those organizations? Do you think it's more than 1% of the US population? Are they the richest people in the country?

Also, notice that those top 43 organizations are largely biased towards the Democrat Party. If these economic powerhouses had the power to sway elections, they would have gotten the Democrat candidate they wanted and Kerry would be our current President. But he isn't.


I don't see any evidence supporting your proposal of a small-but-rich ruling class. The evidence seems to suggest the opposite, though certainly not conclusively. I'm interested to hear if you have any additional evidence.

The US is state-capitalism.
capitalism ENORCED by the state.

it does not, and cannot exist without the government.

at least the system the US currently has. that's for sure.



take, for example,
just the item of corporations.
the corporation is a legal entity first and foremost.
the charter a corporation is granted by states(i.e. we the people),
gives the holder emense amounts of legal privalege. limited liability.

if the free market fundamentalists out there truly
believed in what they claim they would be actively advocating
for the revocation of all corporate charters.
limited liability artificially distorts the stated ideal of no government interference in the market. ha!


so, no, the US is not free market.
rather a protection unit for privelege.

Yes, even if the 100$+ million was not cut to 40$ million and all that were
used to reinforce the levies, they still might have broke.

As for your plutocratic oligarchy theories,

US policies favor the wealthy.
That is no secret.
Also they hide behind the legality of the corporation.
The privalege of the limited liability company is just that - a privalege.
Yet politicians, maybe a few are just ingorant of that fact,
act as if it is a right. They also treat a corporation the same
as a regular business. 2 utterly different institutions. Not only in size
as I pointed out just before.

But even if we revoked every corporate charter,
the privaleged few would continue to find some way to
screw us over. I know, 'one person owning 50% of the earth's
land and resources', that's ordained by gawd, dontcha know?
Talk about unjust.

Typically because liability is dispersed amongst the investors. You will only lose that which you have put into the corporation. All that limited liability does is make it so if the corporation folds, the banks won't come and foreclose on you yourself.

if the free market fundamentalists out there truly
believed in what they claim they would be actively advocating
for the revocation of all corporate charters.
limited liability artificially distorts the stated ideal of no government interference in the market. ha!
I seem to get a different idea of what a corporation is from what you view it as. What I got from my econ class is that a corporate charter allows a single company to be treated as an individual entity. So as to have the chief source of responsibility be the corporation, not the people who make up the corp.

And while I'd desire a totally free market, I realize that it isn't truly possible to do so. As such I admit that there are needs for some minor controls, think of them as guardrails on the highway perhaps.


so, no, the US is not free market.
rather a protection unit for privelege.
Of course the US is not a free market. Certain government restraints are of course needed, anti-monopoly laws, moderated taxation and other things play a role.

If you ever read corporate history you will find all those things

Shareholders used to be held liable not only for any and all debts
encured, but also any crimes committed.
This should be made so again. No more running up mega-debt
behind the facade of legality that is the corporation.

Also,
a corporation is a person.
Isn't that the most assine thing you've ever heard?
No?
Consider how it came to be so.
1886 supreme court ruling said, using the 14th amendment,
one of the amendments supposed to be for guaranteeing
freed slaves their rights, that ruling said that no "corporation"
could be denied life, liberty, or property without due process
of law.

"Oh, well, that's the way we do things now"
Well it used to be that holding people in chains was
"the way we do things".
Disgusting. Both.

Also corporations were not immortal.
They had a limited life span. 10, 20, 30, or 40 years.
This too should be made so again.

Extreme yes, but on the other hand if individual shareholders were deemed just as responsible as the executives for any fraud perpetrated with the company, then you can be damn sure there's going to be a very focused and demanding group of stockholders demanding transparency and accountability from the executives involved.

Do not confuse corporations with REGULAR businesses.
2 completely different institutions.


A corporation is a legal fiction,
that legal fiction which much privalege is gained,
is granted, yes granted, by the states or we the people.
Each state has specific corporate chartering laws.
Nowadays you mostly just have to fill out a form.

Corporations in the United States, used to be formed
when there was a need to do large project for the public
good, such as build a toll road or canal, that individuals
could not afford by themselves.

If a corporation went beyond what was explicitly laid
out in their charter, it could be revoked. That was not uncommon.
Assest would then be sold off to those that would conduct
themselves in the public interest.

We can still legally revoke corporate charters.


This is not some marxist retoric.
This is as american as apple pie.
The first americans feared and hated corporations as much
as they did the king.
The history exists, it is there for us to look up.

While I don't mind allying with people who have good ideas,
anarchy is a much better political philosophy.
(don't get duped by the hollywood fiction of destruction & chaos & death)
(that is not anarchy. that is someone's idea of what would happen
without external constraints on human behavior)

You are no longer allowed to quote Ran or any variation of his sayings. If you do I'll drag his commie ass here and I'll get him to do as he pleases.

And no, he is not a communist. Just a bad president. And this Katrina disaster is just being used by left-winged jealous gits who are just pissed off because they have no charismna whatsoever and think that policies are going to win the hearts of the American people. That works for senators and Congressmen, but not the president. That's why GWB was elected and not Kerry. People thought he was more charasmatic and that's why he won. All there is to it.

Did anyone see footage of Bush on his visit to Moscow the other month for the VE celebrations? He was really cheering those red soldiers with their hammer and sickle flags on. The site of a Republican admiring this smacked of outright self-parody, it was brilliant.

Who the heck is "Ran"?!?
No, seriously, who the heck is Ran?

Beware the cult of personality. It is pure evil.
That is how dictatorships begin.
No one person in the world should have as much power as the
president of the united states does. It is obscenely absurd.
Who wants to be a famous twit?
Known for the shallowness of two-dimensional tv screens and news paper
print.

Who the heck is Ran?
Ian Ran? Yne Ran? I do not know.
