    You came down to this southern town last summer
    To show the folks a brand new way of life
    But all you've shown the folks around here is trouble
    And you've only added misery to their strife
    Your concern is not to help the people
    And I'll say again, though it's been often said
    Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend
    And your policy is just a little red

    Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
    (ain't he right)

    It matters not to you how people suffer
    And should they, you'd consider that a gain
    You bring a lot of trouble to the town and then you leave
    That's part of your Communistic game
    I detect a little Communisim
    I can see it in the things ya do
    Communisim, socialism call it what you like
    There's very little difference in the two

    Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
    (ain't he right)

    Your followers sometimes have been a bearded, hatless bunch
    There's even been a minister or two
    A priest, a nun, a rabbi and an educated man
    Have listened and been taken in by you
    Aw, the country's full of two-faced politicians
    Who encourage you with words that go like this
    Burn your draft card if you like, it's good to disagree
    That's a get aquainted Communistic kiss

    Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
    (ain't he right)

    One politician said it would be nice to send some blood
    And help the enemy in Vietnam
    That's what he says, here's what I say
    Let's just keep the blood
    Instead let's send that politician man
    Let's rid the country of the politicians,
    Who call us tramps, that march out in our streets
    Protesting those who wanna fight for freedom, my friend
    This kind of leader makes our country weak

    Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
    (ain't he right)

    Let's look and find the strong and able leaders
    It's time we found just how our neighbours stand
    If we're to win this war with Communism
    Let's fight it here as well as Vietman
    Let's rise as one and meet our obligations
    So Communistic boots will never trod
    Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
    With the blessing of our great almighty God
    Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
    With the blessing of our great almighty God

    any books or readings on labour vouchers as a replacement for money? already read TANS by Cockshit

    the non-transferable aspect is really enticing to me but i disagree with the same base pay for every worker

    Why you naming him Cockshit?

    Cockshott doesn't even say same base pay for every worker though, at least not in lower stages of socialism

    Finished the 80 page intro to Capital by Mandel, good stuff

    I’m taking Althussers suggestion of starting with chapter 5 then going back to the first four

    I’ve read the first four a couple times before so I have an okay but insufficient standing of them they’re just so damn dense so thought I’d try this way

    On chapter 7 now, going well so far

    People function 90% off vibes. Greta gives a smug vibe so people get mad. Most people are retärded. Kennedy won the election because he was seen as more charismatic.

    Did she? I mean I don't really follow her at all, I only saw this recently

    gbnews.uk/gb-views/greta-thunberg-wests-oppressive-and-racist-capitalist-system-must-be-scrapped/383782

    She's even said that the Global South will be the most affected by climate change while also being the least responsible a couple years ago

    I remember her saying a decent amount of sus s*** back in the day which always turned me off of her, but admittedly I don’t remember what exactly and would have to do some digging

    Also I’m understanding of the fact she was just a kid and she’s clearly moved past that largely, I just remember some of her comments left a bad taste in my mouth

    Yeah I get that and I'm sure you're prob right. She seems to at least be turning it around though, which is a good thing at least.
