[FRA:] Marcuse question

[FREDWELFARE at aol.com]

So you apparently don't think that marxism is the ideological basis for  
communism, so what is its function, in your opinion?
 
But, this is just dumber because you are seemingly unaware of the, as I've  
said repeatedly, the lack of and diminishing of legislative activity in 
relation  to these executives.

So you're  telling me that if the Democrats were to be in power, there'd be
no more  President, mayor, governor, etc. -- since they're opposed to
"republican"  forms of government?  Is this really your claim?  Really?
People  would participate directly in gov't in a new golden age of  Democratic
rule?


Riiiiight, when democrats are elected they simply jettison the whole  
leadership idea.  You are letting the cat out of the bag; you should  conceal that 
you are a republican.
 
For your information, republicans do not support individual rights, their  
entire ediface is based on privileging the interests of the very rich.  As  for 
capital punishment, of what necessity is the life or death of the murderer  
after the fact?  How are rights granted in the revenge on the  murderer?  You 
are stuck in the savagery of barbaric practices of human  sacrifice.  But, then 
aren't the republicans also since they are sending  countless soldiers on 
suicide missions in response, of course, to the  fundamentalists suicide bomber 
missions.  Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense,  nonsense.  The matter is settled with 
appropriate economic and diplomatic  measures.  There are laws, there is 
enforcement, isn't there?
 
Look at Darfur, obvious incidence of ethnic cleansing and what has the  
international community's response been???  Even Powell pointed it out a  year 
after it started and still no response.  What is going on?
 
You seem to believe that this war should be continued, that we haven't gone  
far enough, that the reasons for engaging in this war are clear and have not  
involved deception and manipulation.  Perhaps you recommend a 1000 sorties  
everyday until Iran stops its nuclear bomb production.  You are failing to  
acknowledge the costs of any war, costs which are not agreed to by any  
legislature but which are predictable - the bodies of the soldiers.
 
As for republican executives in the white house, other than Kennedy and  
Clinton have there really been democrats in the white house?  Do LBJ and  Carter 
count as democrats?  It has been republican (southern democrat!)  executives 
that have been leading us into wars time and again.  
 
What should be happening is that our government, the executive in the white  
house, should be open to negotiation with all other peoples in order to keep 
the  peace.  Any executive who gets elected otherwise has gotten in there  
illegitimately.  We all face the same validity - it's not a 'do what you  please' 
term!
