"Reverse Communism"

Did anyone else hear that one man on C-SPAN this morning say what the Bush Administration amounted to "Reverse Communism", establishing things such as 'plantations' all around the world.

When you think about it, it starts to make sense.

The one thing where RW'ers say Anti-Bush people have "Bush Derangement Syndrome" or say that Liberalism is a mental illness just reeks of Stalinism, doesn't it?

I-have-no-idea-what-that-means-even-after-researching-it-but-it-sounds-bad-so-I-agree file. :shrug: :dunce:

(I suspect that reflects its origins, too.)

On edit:
"Why know the name of a thing when the thing itself you do not know?
Whose work is it but your own to open your eyes?
But indeed, the work of the universe is to make such a fool of you that you will know yourself for one, and so begin to be wise!"
— George MacDonald, Lilith, 1895

(I dunno. It just seemed apt.)

5. "Communism is man stealing from man. Capitalism is the reverse."

Don't know where I heard that quote.

With our subprime crisis, we're learning how many poor people are being put in these plantations. It's the bankers.

6. i heard it.

and i certainly agree with the spirit of what was said -- if not his specifics.

but i do think that ''plantation'' is an apt economic descriptive that can used to describe our current circumstances.
