Hello wanker. Clowns at Incog wanted the board to be about me. I preferred to post on the topic. But when guttersnipes retch, they do get answered. Back into your hole, guttersnipe.

I mean work in the conventional, what is expected of one, objective sense, AND in the personal, subjective sense.  I mean that which matters has disappeared from the familiar.

Whether we like it or not we will all soon be entering the end of the familiar.

What is "work", by the way?

I think I'll be in good company here.

It has been used by Communists, yes, but, not exclusively; it's a symbol of standing up against oppression, any form of it.

Last I saw of Kalashnikov he was living in his crummy little apartment, vaguely bitter about the royalties that Stoner got for the M-16 but he didn't get for the AK. Who can blame him? In that interview he vehemently denied the AK was a ripoff of the StG 44, in others he freely admits it. Doesn't really matter now, does it?

Three C's of the Jews, Aleksey: Christianity, Communism & Capitalism. What is the second but a atheistic version of the first, and what are the second and third but two sides of the same coin (see Bakunin)? The rulers of Com & Cap societies always give us problems to solve; always setting up Problem, Reaction, Solution.

And the solution is ALWAYS more centralized control of political and financial power.

Sorry Hero of Socialist Labour which is almost the same as Hero of the Soviet Union.

Profit is a word that did not existed in the USSR, you worked for the better future of your country. From what i can tell from his pictures he has two golden stars which means twice Hero of the Soviet Union/Russian Federation, the highest medal you could obtain.
German battle reports say that swarms of T-34s won the war for the Soviet Union not Sherman or Cromwell tanks. Sure there was western equipment from the Lend-Lease but its impact on the Eastern Front is over exaggerated.

@ V-Prince

You're a true believer in National Bolshevism, Aleksey. "Because the Allies waited for the USSR to win the war for them , only after the battle of Kursk did they entered Europe." And all this time I was thinking the USSR was mostly a paper tiger, and an artificially maintained one at that! A political class member once observed that there was no Soviet technology, only Western technology on Eastern soil. The same applies to Israel (even the iconic Uzi is a stolen Czech design) and that's no coincidence. You once submitted Israel as the ultimate example of Capitalist decadence. I didn't realize that "Communist" and "Capitalist" cuntries got their money from different sources?

When is little Kalashnikov going to get some royalties for all those AK-47s?

Then why was Communism allowed to spread across half the continent?

Because the Allies waited for the USSR to win the war for them , only after the battle of Kursk did they entered Europe.
