: You seem to assume your the future, if that where the case why are conservatives the world over still scare mongering about the pheonix like qualities of socialism?

Yes, we have a model society. Yes, our economy is better than it has ever been, and improving. But take heed - socialism takes advantage of prosperity, and flourishes in an environment of apathy. It is the AIDS of capitalism. Therefore, be on your guard.

To Bakunin, "oppression" included marriage - he had the disconcerting habit of seducing the wifes of his associates. Sort of a hobby of his.

I believe you. And, since I have translated the above from the Orwellian Newspeak that it has been written in, I shall be sure to take the appropriate precautions.

Thanks for the warning, brother.
