Landslide Victory
If President Trump and the Republicans pass the tax cuts then they are on their way to a landslide 2020 electoral victory (and 2018). Let's get it done! We can and will Make America Great Again!!!! #MAGA

Just look at this Socialist website's examination of Marx and Eco-Socialism: https://www.socialistalternative.org/2015/12/15/marxism-environment/

Why does 'Earth Day' coincide with Lenin's birthday?

Now, there is quite a bit of articles and research on this. Just search for the origins of environmental communism. It does have it's roots in the Soviet Union. Basically the whole concept of environmental communism/socialism, etc stems from the Marxists and their schemes to undermine and destroy western capitalism.

@Ghug: It won't increase the deficit because the bill is a revenue generator. As more money is generated by companies it means the federal government receives more money. No one is getting screwed, the middle class is receiving a tax cut.

Is this really a talking point?

You realize that 4/20 the stoner holiday is also hitlers birthday, columbine, and the waco attack?

Right so ND is actually taking the position that all environmentalism is a Marxist-Leninist conspiracy in honour of Lenin's birthday.

He's gone full whackjob on this one...

Ay what a great healthcare bill. It eliminates coverage for all children on Obamacare by January 1st. This just keeps getting better.

This bill is political suicide. The republican party is going down in dramatic fashion. How do you plan to get support from voters by eliminating healthcare programs for children lmao

@ND: Don't accuse me if you refuse to respond to my points.

"Cultural Marxism" is a fiction invented by the Nazis to paint all progressives as part of a Jewish-Communist plot. It has been taken up by alt-right people and neo-Nazis as a brush to tar progressive people with in just the same way.

Please, continue to attack me using a term which I have shown to be Nazi-linked conspiracy nutjobbery. It just makes you look stupid. And that's fine with me.

ND has a complex which makes him think he is the Professor of pure political idealogy and were the lackwit college students who just havent figured it out. Its pretty disrespectful and arrogant but why am I not surprised. Republicans tend to master dead end talking points and repeat them lets go over them now.

¤democrats suppprted slavery in the 1860's therefore theyre an evil party.
¤marxism is a cult and social democracy is a disease.
¤feminism is a cult and a conspiracy by evil liberals
¤global warming is a lie perpetrated by liberals who want to stifle economic growth

Basically none of these diatribes have any truth to them. Professor ND just thinks this is his classroom and were morons.
ND (879 D)

@Jamiet: You are truly ridiculous. Your point is almost a total fabrication as I have stated. *Almost* You have no issue being called a ‘Marxist’ you even label yourself one. A Marxist is a follower of a cult ideology that led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. You have no issue with it. You have issue with ‘Cultural Marxist’ even though it is a term for a Marxist who uses critical theory/praxis to critique and change Western Capitalist Culture with identifiable intellectual roots to the Frankfurt School. You have an issue with it because Pat Buchanan (who is a intellectual conservative) said something about it? You are certifiable.

@Brainbomb: Again, ridiculous.
-Democrats did champion slavery and oppression in the 1860s
-Democrats did sponsor Jim Crow
-Many Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act
-Republicans did end Slavery
-Marxism and feminism are cults. Marxism led to hundreds of millions ++ deaths around the world and again you can’t be more equal than anyone else in society.
-Global warming is a lie perpetrated to cripple the United States and advanced capitalist societies.
-All of these points are true

"-Global warming is a lie perpetrated to cripple the United States and advanced capitalist societies. "

I can't even begin to understand this theory.
Global warming has spawned an entire industry of green collar, and high tech jobs. Thats not murdering capitalism, the providing a whole new unexploited/under-exploited market to focus on. Environmentalism isn't destructive to capitalism, its disruptive, some business will sink other businesses will swim. The good businesses that are competitive and flexible will swim the rising tide of environmentalism to high profits.

I can't imagine a less credible conspiracy than global socialists inventing global warming to cripple capitalism.
ND (879 D)
03 Dec 17 UTC
Damian, it's absolutely crippling. It wants to cap emissions on factories and plants that means you can't produce as much. It wants to take wealth from the US and transfer it to the third world which means a weaker US industrial base and a stronger industrial base elsewhere. It's ridiculous, thank god that Trump pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accord.
MajorMitchell (1874 D)

Lovable ND...I could cite our beautiful ND as a classic example of the power of the "Cult of Trump". ND is a fervent acolyte of the Trumpian Cult, imho. And perhaps an example of why Trump might be regarded as the most successful Criminal Demagogue produced in the USA.. So far. No epic tortuous convolution of reason or fact ( real or alternative ) appears to be beyond ND's capabilities in his defense of Trump. I have to think that Goebbels would admire the way Trump manipulates his followers. Such loyalty shown by ND..one almost feels sorry for the poor blighter as such romances inevitably end badly.
damian (675 D)

Its creating entire new industries based around carbon capture and storage to see those requirements. Its triggering massive technical innovation, electric cars, massive battery systems. There will be losers within the USA, but on the net America has the technical skills and the ability to innovate to come out of climate change a winner by being the one to produce top notch green technology. Trying to cling to failing companies just because they've been around for a long time is bullshit crony capitalism and distorts the free market.

You hardly have to worry about a weakening US industrial based countries like Germany with more stringent environmental policies are starting to see factories re-open as automated factories become more economical than over sea factories. The fact is the costs of meeting the environmental regulations will become less significant as automation improves and the environmental impact of overseas shipping becomes factored into prices.

I agree with you Damian..technological innovation driven by the need to be more energy efficient, less polluting is powering economic growth, creating new jobs, new businesses. What I think adorable ND fails to understand, and which you seem to find self evident ( like countless others ) is that essential point, and it's antithesis. That clinging to that anachronistic "false orthodoxy" of the old industrial model will only exacerbate economic decline.
Take the example of burning coal to generate electricity.. Irrespective of the environmental costs, it's rapidly becoming a less economically competitive method of producing electrical power. Technology can improve the efficiency of coal fired power stations, but that only slows their inevitable decline in competitiveness against the emerging technologies.
Similarly we can produce more efficient petrol engines, but does anyone seriously think that petrol powered motor vee~hickles will survive indefinitely for mass use and not be replaced by electrically powered vee~hickles ?..apart from chaps like adorable ND?
MajorMitchell (1874 D)
03 Dec 17 UTC
@damian.. Yes.I had only read your first post on "green" technologies when I was writing my reply to you. Again your follow up post is, imho, correct. Protectionism for old failing industries and businesses will only entrench economic decline.
I also think environmental standards will form new tariff barriers in the future, so for example if you want to have access to markets then your production methods will have to meet environmental standards or face punitive tariffs.. In a similar way to Safety standards, in Australia we don't allow products in certain categories that fail to meet Safety standards to be imported into our country

@ND - ok, you didn't get around to watching my link, how about something shorter: "The key is that both bills cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%, a permanent cut, versus individual tax cuts that ultimately sunset." (Talking about the two versions of the tax bill)

Why is the personal tax cut temporary, while the corporate one is permanent?

And look, when it comes to corporate tax, i live in a country which has a 12.5% corporate tax rate. I have seen the advantages of having google, facebook, and microsoft locate their European HQs in the city where i live. And it is no surprise that the Irish government has been reluctant to collect the ~€13 billion in taxes which the EU says Apple owes us.

But i am on the record stating that the Irish public should reject this corporatism and rule by and for multinationals. So i'm not overly shocked that corporations have taken control of the US political system.

Starting a new game
Hello! Starting a new game with some friends, but we don't actually want to start the game till next week. But we want to all be registered and in the game. I've made the game but I don't want it to automatically start when we are all in. I've never made a game before, is that what will happen? Or can I leave the game open for a few days before I hit the "start" button?

Thanks!
