  1. 28-30 million in France + Germany + Italy maybe. Plus most of them live in Saint Tropez - Valearides now, they 're not the real mc coy they used to be. Anyway their right wing opposition are no longer afraid of them, they talk about them only for fun - unlike what it used to be. So who cares about Mitsotakis - Karamanlis (again unlike what it used to be) and they vote for junta parties. The strength of the right wing ultras in Greece is about 20% now, still lower than western Europe. The strength of the reds (the "original gate 21" as I call them) is 10%. Another 10% approximately are fellow travelers but they 'd never like a communist regime to take over. No more Gallerie Lafayette if they do that, Harrods, Selfridges.
  2. It's down to two things. Maybe in the UK it is a little different, since the Farage movement that divides the Tories dates from 2005, before refugees. In any case the working class neofascists you mention is a British peculiarity. In America it is also different because there is no communist party - fellow traveling party as such. There it's Trump vs rest of the world. But everyone I know is a former conservative who does n't feel it is necessary to vote conservative to keep the socialists out any more, now that USSR - iron curtain are gone. Thus in Italy Christian Democracy is gone, in Germany the party with the same name suffers and in France the Gaulists have vanished. These folks talk about immigration but their origins are what I say they are. About Putin they don't care and even like him.
  3. We 've been through this "rise of the extreme right" twenty five thousand times. There are two reasons: Immigrants from Asia and Africa who at the same time are connected with the terror groups (obviously not all of them but some of them). No longer socialists identified as "Kerensky" parties so they don't vote for the moderate cons any more (i.e. the De Gaulle - Adenauer like paties). In fact all of the neofascist leaning individuals I have met belong to this last group. The left bears all the responsibility for the predicament and the dangers we are all facing (by 100.00%).
  4. This is a Manchester United approach from you. The weather - the balls - the pitch ... Why are n't there more ?
  5. Reagan believed in trickle down economy. With socialism it is trickle up.
  6. Rich man is relative. I knew one and one day I bumped on him, in the centrum, Zonar's cafe. He says "do you know any dentists around here ? I 'm selling old periodicals for their waiting rooms". Meanwhile I have seen a gift or two from rich cats - from the socialists nada. Their Grim's tales are coming out of my ears.
  7. Well then those petitions should be about that first and foremostly. To be frank all my life I have n't been denied anything by Citroen - Mercedes Benz - Opel - Toyota but from those.
  8. I don't know if it is spiralling out of control as bad as that, but to reduce economic inequality you have to lower the unfair taxes against the poor first. This is not in any socialist party's agenda, or indeed in any Tory like party's agenda. As for the communists - fellow travelers they want universal poverty and the prohibition of any sort of individual endeavour. That's what's burning them more than anything else and if I did n't know them I would n't be writing this.
  9. With zero corporate tax some things would be better for us. Some others not. No police - no navy - no air force ! So there is no such thing as zero corporate tax. But the distortion is by and large the overtaxing of the poor people who are not party hacks and are not given candy. You are calling for socialist taxation which means state grab (money for the boys).
  10. Anyway, your idea is more money for the poor, not sheer jealousy I assume. This works in part. Not much but it works in part. But it's more money for the parties, the party hacks and the government employees. That's the people who would also benefit from a real communist system. The others are overtaxed and become poor. So make your petition "untax the poor" before you talk about the rich.
  11. They will. Dead easy. Anyway relating to companies doing commerce they pass all the extra cost to the consumer, If you tax Amazon then a book that costs $ 20 + vat now will cost $ 25 + vat and that's it.
  12. No, I don't think the dems are communist or we would be speaking Russian now. Now this propaganda stuff I know like false coin. It ends up with taxing the poor, invariably. Funny thing was in 1993, with the "doctors of Kolonaki" (posh district of Athens - Belgravia of Athens). According to the socialists those million making doctors should have been taxed a lot more than they were. I was scratching my head and said to the pasok supporters "listen here, what about doctors in working class neighbourhoods ? you think those are ok ?". They did n't like such comments, so I was a "... black reactionary". After the election true to form they applied the tax, but hey: Principal victims were the poor sponge divers, the chestnut vendors and the people who sell kites to the kids on clean Monday. The rich doctors as such were affected by one half or by one third. The same movie has played many times since then. As for the commies their reaction was "serves them right for being capitalists and not doing the revolution". So I 'm not signing any such claptrap. In addition if you tax the rich companies will close down. How do you mean to separate viability of industries from "taxing the rich" ?
  13. I 'm not signing this. It is communist claptrap. Why does n't it call for less tax on the ultra poor ?
  14. We more often say anti-hebrew for an enemy of the Jews. Antisemite became the trend, though perhaps it should n't if the semites include more people.
  15. They are more or less all anti-israel. Those people I have met that come from the emirates in somewhat mild terms. Those from Egypt in the Nasser years or from Iran now, strongly antisemitic. So yes, all of them.
  16. The Arabs are idiots. With peaceful means they would have won their case against Israel decades ago. Not to "put Israel into the sea" of course but to gain compensations. The Arab world stretches from the Atlantic ocean to Iraq and beyond. Initially the Americans supported them and they wanted to finance the construction of the Assouan dam, but Nasser declared war ... The Americans would never let such a huge part of the world to go under Soviet influence or Putin's influence. The Arabs brought everything upon themselves and are continuing to do so.
  17. This does n't have to do with the supernatural but no, they are not capable.
  18. The gods could be vile as you say even if they were amongst us. This is neither here nor there and how can you answer questions about divinity from your pitiful standpoint ? My standpojnt is also pitiful even though I ventured a probable looking explanation. But regarding your opinion about religion openiing the door for "anti-human"endeavours", with what logic would the opposite thing -i.e. no religion- not do the same ? Without religion things like burglary - pickpocketing become legal activities. So we all become burglars and pickpockets.
  19. You don't know the truth about this. Satan and the fallen angels are forbidden from doing supernatural things. If they try then the angels of god will burn them - they know this and they don't. But satan operates in other ways. He takes advantage of the law of uncertainty that governs the universe. The law of uncertainty is essential for the universe to function - the universe cannot exist without it. Even if it causes bad things to happen, such as the premature death of some persons, it is essential. So satan takes advantage of this, conspires and plots to destroy humanity. Ultimately it does n't work for him but he enjoys temporary successes.
  20. The strategy of the axis of evil is this: Trump wins in America, declares isolationism. Europe is driven further into chaos and disarray. In Europe there will be as a result some left wing governments friendly to Hamash and some right wing neutrals like Orban. This will help them escalate things and will certainly help Putin and nuclear Iran who are the masterminds behind everything. The Palestinians are being taken for a ride just like they were taken for a ride in the six day war by the Soviets, but they are blind to this because of their centuries old antisemitism. If Trump loses in America it's going to be a setback but at the same time they seem to be doing rather well in Europe, taking out countries piece by piece. As for the disaster that has befallen them in Gaza and Lebanon, they don't care. The populations are docile and they had plenty of such things before. All the Arabs are very antisemitic. I have met quite a few. From Egypt, from the gulf states and from further out to the east. From the more recent breed of islam fanatics I have no personal acquaintances - I 'm talking about before the nineties, when they were baathists. But the islam fanatics are even worse as we all now.
  21. This thing with goalies having to do a playmaker's work is relatively new. It certainly did n't exist in the old years of Bonetti-Banks-Wilson-Jennings ... So, if it is necessary, it becomes an important thing to look into. Mendy and now Sanchez were the worst in that respect imho.
