Wrong dumbass. Yeah the state does spend money on society. And do you know why? To provide healthcare, a social safety net, public education, roads, fire and police services amongst others. I’m guessing in your little world we should just privatise everything because, y’know screw poor people being able to access things they need to live on.

And nice little conspiracy theory at the end there “they will imprison you for thinking things.” Ooooh, spooky… All we need now is some scary music and dark lighting and we’ve got ourselves an Alex Jones style DVD.

Man, you right-wingers get more and more mockable. Please keep it up.

far left totalinarianism is on the rise. the state spends over 50% of all money spent in society. they’ll steal your kids if you vote ukip. they got rid of trial by jury and detention without trial.

they will imprison you for thinking things.

we need a revolution but not a left wing one

right wing = freedom
left wing = statism and slavery

it’s an open site. and I am watching telly, reading a book and shopping whilst I type this.

Franco was a monster, just less of one than the left-wing alternative could have been. liberal democracy is what we all want, but sometimes that isn’t an option.

he may have saved millions

ps i’m not angry and i’m not arguing.

franco killed a fair few, but not as many as the commies would have killed had they got in. look at cambodia

A curious thing, right-wing nutters screech loudly about their rights to be bigots, when you point out how bigoted (without the use of silencing them) they are, that’s you censoring them, banning them and oppressing them. (They shout bans but no bans happen, part of their tactics is to make themselves look oppressed so they can be seen as the fighters for true freedom) While if you have your own views that opposes them or even if you don’t but it attracts their attention, they tend to want to shut you up by means of physical violence. If you don’t agree with them, that means you are a commie wanting to destroy the white race. But the UK hasn’t had a presence of menacing communists since what? The 1920s? While the BNPs, the EDLs and the UKIPs still linger in the shadows, annoying or attacking members of whatever the group in fashion it is to hate. If the darlings were so oppressed I wouldn’t be typing about them right now. When capitalist pigs start getting bumped off at a frequent rate, under the sign of the hammer and sickle, I’ll be more concerned about the evil commie threat. But for now I’d like to live in 2013 not 1950, the only threat on the horizon is right-wing extremism, rising to power by years of propaganda and greed.
