Yeah those stupid HR socialists - damn their eyes !

[singhr]

I am fed up with HR people

They were more fun when they were called Personel, you could always count on banging one at the Christmas party. Now they are really up themselves and thinking that what they do is some kind of science

Anyway DA don't worry, we're not likely to go socialist soon.
Instead we'll have greedy bankers propped up with our taxes, a failing health system, crap railways, poor education and a massive wealth divide.
Long live capitalism!

Socialism is what got us out of the trees - not that I am saying that that was necessarily a good move. The purest form of capitalsm today is Africa surely, where people with guns take what they can off the people without guns.

I thought that most post colonial African states were run along Marxist lines?

Some might say the Scandinavian countries are succesful exemplars of socialism.
Are you saying that no one is highly-paid there?
Or are you saying a big gap between the rich and poor is a good thing?

There is a massive gap between rich and poor in scandi. For example, you can usually tell if someone is a boss just from their surname.

Yes the ones which are run along Marxist lines have the rich and powerful taking all the aid money.
And the ones which aren't are exactly the same.

You do come out with some tulip.
You can tell the rich by their names in most countries.
It's nothing to do with the level of gap between the rich and poor.
