Re: [Marxism] US: A Sick Society

["Joaquin Bustelo" <jbustelo@xxxxxxxxx>]

David Thorstad writes: "The United States is a sick society in many ways,
but the right to bear arms is not one of them. My own shotgun is for
hunting, as are the weapons of millions of Americans. Sure, in a revolution
weapons could come in handy, but meanwhile the U.S. is ahead of Cuba on this
one. It almost makes me want to rejoin the NRA (which I joined for a year to
protest Bill Clinton's efforts at disarming ordinary citizens and, of
course, arming the pig forces to the teeth)."

I must say I agree completely with David. In addition to the reasons he
gives, there's the one of the surplus population -- of white people. 

I know, I know, given the racial composition of the u.s., SOME Blacks and
Latinos are going to get wasted (and some are going to do the wasting, but
that's hardly our concern here). But overall, it's going to be pretty good. 

Now that Evo got the UN to make April 22 Pachamama day, we have to figure
out how to honor that. ¿What better way to do that than arming every
American to the teeth? Especially every WHITE American?

I know, a lot of them are going to try to shoot Blacks or Latinos. But let's
get real. We're not dealing with the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree
here. As a matter of fact, a lot of them, you can't tell whether they're lit
of not. And those folks wind up shooting themselves or their families as
often as anyone else ... 

Support the Iraqi resistance? Bah ... humbug! 

It's been SIX YEARS since the invasion, and they've barely killed 4200 --AND
A LOT OF THOSE the resistance doesn't deserve credit for, it was just stupid
Americans, and ESPECIALLY stupid American adolescent boys, who are ALWAYS
doing stupid things to get themselves killed (well, I hope people here don't
mind the naked truth -- it's especially the white kids). 

In the same time period, MORE than 100 kilo gringos have "passed" thanks to
US firearms laws (as well as another 100 kilo yanquis thanks to the OTHER
favorite extension of the American penis, the car). Frankly, advocating gun
control is as irresponsible as advocating mass transit in yanquilandia,
UNLESS, of course, it were to be murderously DANGEROUS mass transit.

As we used to chant in Chicanos demonstrations back around 1970: "Grin-gos,
má-ten-los."
