      They're a paid propagandist. Either they are a liar and know it's not true or aren't capabile of thought deep enough to understand. Doesn't really matter which, they're just a useful tool of the state.

        How do they square the circle of Great Britain being the first major capitalist country that did not exactly respect these freedoms for Ireland? Or do you mean "Northern Ireland" by "north of Ireland"? ...in which case, never mind.

          yeah, people who don't recognise northern ireland as a legitimate state refer to it as the north of ireland, i can see how that can be confusing though (some people say 'occupied six counties' instead lol)

          but even in the south people don't really associate british imperialism with capitalism, ireland is unfortunately a lot more reactionary than its history would imply

    "Freedom of speech protected" lol in Britain anti-war anti-capitalist music artists aren't allowed to be played on the radio or to appear on BBC. BBC also vets what you're going to say before you say it if you appear for any sort of political discussion, if it doesn't follow the line, you ain't saying shit

    Equating capitalism with democracy has been a disaster for the human race.

    These are the truths that the future commanders of liberal society, from shift leader up to European Commission chair, will be called upon to recite. Different truths apply to the working class so that the social order can be enforced via brainwashing and gaslighting, like all social orders.

    Capitalism is when you sell your cow and fuck a bull.

    Communism is when the bull fucks you.
