Chavez: Capitalism Ended Life on Mars

Really not a lot to debate here. :grin:

 

Until glynch chimes in.

 

I disagree with El Presidente - locally, I believe the lack of interest & further posting ended the brief "Life on Mars" fad of early 2009, despite a brief revival in July of that year.

However, low ratings, lack of advertiser interest, and hence capitalism, were ultimately responsible for its demise. So he's correct in that sense.

 

maybe he's just been reading toycen's posts or finished watching avatar for the first time.

I thought when DC Sam Tyler died that was the end, but then the BBC came out with Ashes to Ashes, so apparently Chavez seriously needs a cable hookup.

 

No, it was the overreaching federl government with their taxes and socialism that killed MArs.

 

^ If only there had been a Martian Tea Party to save them.

 

Is Chavez crazier than Charlie Sheen? Debate!

 

I was thinking the same thing...they probably agree.

Chavez is a dictator, doncha know so he isn't allowed to joke like that.

Pretty silly to take that seriously. Not a very effective anti-Chavez piece.

 

He clearly believes what he is saying, but I can understand how you might want to deflect this. I would gamble, aside from many other things, Chavez doesn't know the first thing about geology, based on other comments in that piece. Of course, saying ridiculous, hyperbolic B.S. about the US fits his narrative.

 

Mr. Chavez has apparently been on a Bowie Bender.

 

Well imperialism has ended life in many places.......

 

Chavez was clearly joking. I guess I can't expect much of a sarcasm meter from folks who have had years of indoctrination that Chavez is a dictator and Mubarak, the King of Saudia Arabia etc. are good fellows and essentially democrats and believers in human rights.

Actually the real issue is whether capitalism will end life on earth.

Please explain how we can stop climate change while worshipping at the altar that the main orgainizing principle of human society should be to maximize corporate profits in the next quarter? --that virtually any interference with this first princple is a crime against nature (like trying to repeal the law of gravity) or even (I'm not kidding!) immoral per some market fundies

 

Capitalism v. Socialism?

Just like Democrats v. Republicans; Liberals v. Conservatives; etc.
A moderate stance must be taken. Capitalism has it's evils...

 

Exactly. Why do libertarians fight so stupidly against a mixed system?
