YGTBSM....these people are insane!
I can think of 2 countries and times in history that such a list of items existed.
Germany Ruled by Hitler.
USSR ruled by Stalin.
I have been to both countries present day.
Germany is pretty nice, though still a bit socialist for my tastes. However they value hard work and the rewards it brings. Nice cars for the autobaun etc etc.
Russia remained under communist/socialist rule and well, about the nicest thing you can say is it has some real nice government buildings. The people live in shitholes. If you do the mafias bidding you might get a nice BMW out of it to park in front of your craphole concrete walled apartment.
I want to do my part for them though. If they want to live in such a place as their list describes. I will pay airfare for 5 of them one way to Any city in Russia, Cuba, or North Korea of their choice.
I am sure we can find enough folks willing to donate airline seats so all the OWS folks can live in the country of their dreams.
So then in your estimation....socialism, from your union involvement, works for all those involved?
