The next person who tells me how Walmart or Hollywood or any other megacorp that makes more than the average south american country is just some innocent bunch of wide eyed capitalists I will soundly beat them to death with Walmart's court docket (they are by the way the most sued organization in the world outside of a governing body).
I have heard it before from more experienced economists and my own personal observations back it up. That the people who loathe a free market the most are those who are forced to compete in it. Walmart and it's ilk have NO interest in competing fairly and like the big kid who has played the game longer than most, they seem to have no compunctions against cheated blatantly and openly with the "What're you gonna say, i can pound the shit out of you twerp!" look on their face.
As a devout believer in anarcho-capitalistic principles, I feel quite often like the person who preaches the first ammendment only to find the only people interested in are the publishers of Mein Kamphf.

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Wed, August 31, 2005 - 2:13 PMIf its any consolation Ive heard that walmarts apparel sales are very poor compared to their imdeiate rivals, (ie people are afraid to admit their cloths came from wlmart.).
I myself am looking forward to being homeless and living in a ditch near a walmart, eating off the taco bell dollar menu, and buying some 3 dollar shoes and shirts.
I can reminess in my old age about when i was the richest ) N-word in the ghetto) with a house, and by then I'll be the richest gringo, in the ditch.
Those giant abandoned parkinglots from before the gas ran out will be fun to through frisbee in or build some skateboard ramps. -

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Wed, August 31, 2005 - 2:26 PMAh but Walmart has the solution to that, when you can't coerce people into buying YOUR products, you simply buy a controlling interest in the other stores. The sad thing is Sam Walton would be spinning in his grave if he knew the stunts his successors were pulling. -

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Wed, August 31, 2005 - 2:46 PMWlamart tried to buy the land around avondale mall, ( Atlantas oldest, and very abandoned mall, a few miles from my spread. the local yuppies du jour succesfully opposed walmarts encroachment. I my self buy wlamart work boots and have to do so, way outside the perimeter, I wish their evil was within 25 miles of my house so i could get some new boots that don't fall apart right away and cost a reasonable amount.
God bless the Chinese work boot factories? -

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Wed, August 31, 2005 - 3:02 PMIt used to be that you either bought quality footwear that cost alot, or you bought shoddy ones that were ugly and didn't cost much but fell apart quickly. Only now they are made in the same place. The expensive footwear is made with the same shoddy approach but no decrease in price.

Fascism and anarchism can't co-exist, I think.
Straight up though: capitalism is okay as a marketplace but REAL sucky as a government. -

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Mon, September 5, 2005 - 12:05 PMThe fascists (and any other group with an authoritarian bent) only supports freedom while they are a minority. Once an authoritarian group gets into power it is the first thing they eliminate. -

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Mon, September 5, 2005 - 4:56 PMIve struck a deal with the CHI Comms, I buy their boots and they don't nuke their boot market.
Maybe Walmart was a sinister , long range plan to make China dependent on Western markets for exported goods, thus , making their possible global domination unlikely, because destroying the west, would destroy their own economy, ( Can I hear Mao rolling over in his grave?) -

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Mon, September 5, 2005 - 5:07 PMOn the topic of prison labour,
I think they should all be lobotomized and forcerd to pedal on exercise bikes to generate electricity, witch could be used to generate enough power for the electric chairs, and feed them grits. Sort of a capital punishment cooperative.
Tennesee is a great place to get busted with pot, if your into prison labour, theyll put you right to work with mandatory sentencing. maybe some child prison labour could be looked into, sort of an intern program, they don't even get paid one dollar a day and ciggarettes, just get the on the job training for when they eneter the regular "big house" family? -

Thu, September 8, 2005 - 1:35 PMI used to work for the Atlanta based health foods store Sevanandas, in the late 80-s, there was rumor the Quaker mafia was running the place, try explaining that to the faux Muslims types working there currently.
Lovley smile Paula, by the way.

Re: Fuck the fascists posing as capitalists
Thu, September 8, 2005 - 10:58 PMInstead of saying dumb giveaway stuff like "badda bing" and so forth, the QM is more into being quiet, dressing modestly but cleanly, and assuming patiently that the person who owes money is fully aware of their debt, and, God willing, will pay it back as soon as is feasible - at no interest, of course (usury is a sin).
That's why no one's heard of them. -
