This is more a side-effect of the usual anti-authority/rebellious attitude of most teens. Otherwise phrased as "F the man!" In the 80s it was the Anarchist symbol. (Most teens really don't understand that their iPods - or hell, their t-shirts - wouldn't exist in an Anarchist society, but who are we to judge...)

The irony of course, is that Che helped usher in one of the most authoritarian regimes in human history. But this is why we try not to let teenagers run our political systems.

Kante > Marx

Kante's Law (the social-level rule of thumb seen in Scandinavia) with a greased economic wheel is probably the way to go for a successful left government. A company can run, but it's not about the CEO of the company or the worker of the company, it's the product that matters.

.... maybe I entered the wrong thread....


.. has anyone seen the one about making Manitoba a have province....

This simplistic post adolesent ideology thread is sooooooooo interesting, but I have to go watch paint dry and read about prehistoric mold.

..... life is so unfair ....kids.

I must have missed this phase.. because when I graduated highschool I was running my first little biz and buying my first stocks.

Interestingly enough, Manitoba remains a "have not" province because its leaders keep recycling those same adolescent ideologies...

There, now THAT is flamebait. You and your free-market blatherings just aren't enough to keep a thread going anymore.

Yeah, I kinda figured that out...strange how teens see the glory in what Che represented, and not the affects. But, that's what being a teen is about.

Too bad Che wasn't around now, he might be able to help Manitoba too.
