Since people apparently think I'm a reactionary or something, I figure I might as well respond to the first post.

Well, to start it off simply, the entire World has gone to hell, and is currently roasting medium well in a nice little corner so remote that barely anyone realizes it.
Yes.

If you’ve opened a newspaper recently, you’ve obviously been swamped with the most disturbing, openly balls out retarded articles you’ve ever read. This isn’t an isolated thing. This is the entire world falling apart, and no one has the balls to do anything about it.
Capitalism is degenerating, yes.

Well. My first point is the whole equal rights argument. NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE EQUAL. Some people just shouldn’t be given rights. Anarchists for example, should be treated more suspect than the average person. Those who actively work to undermine the government should be treated as terrorists, and charged as such.
The state is merely a tool of class rule. The dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is to be replaced with the dictatorship of the proletariat. To advocate the defense of the state right now is to both uphold the current degenerate bourgeois system and also makes one a reactionary.

The UN is a failure. This is why I am a self proclaimed Revanchist. I can list so many times that the UN has failed at doing its job in the last 20 years that it would make Santa Clause cry himself into a drunken stupor.
I disagree. The UN has done an admirable job of kicking out progressive leaders and promoting the status-quo. Does Lumumba and the Congo Crisis ring a bell? Or more recently, the UN occupation of Haiti (which is still continuing) after the fall of Aristide, or the undermining of the Sudanese government to appease imperialist interests.

North Korea’s nuclear program.
... is another aspect of UN intervention in the affairs of a soverign and non-aggressive country. It isn't nice when only pro-US states get the bomb, you know.
Quote:
Russia illegally selling weapons across the globe.
The US never sold guns illegally, apparently. Someone better ask the paramilitaries of Colombia, or the hundreds of Cold War groups. Ever heard of the Contras? Imperialist states sending guns to a group in order to gain influence over it is nothing new, as the Cold War has taught us. This is why imperialism, which is itself an essential part of capitalism, is to be eradicated.
Quote:
Iran going Nuclear.
See the DPRK above. I'll advocate an end to Iran's nuclear program once a worldwide nuclear disarmament begins. Until then, no dice.
Quote:
The US invading Iraq (I’m a proud American patriot and I will be the first to admit that our country SCREWED UP with that whole mess. We managed to turn a stable (well…relatively stable anyway) shithole into a complete blunderfuck in about 5 years.
We invaded a progressive country that wasn't fond of the US (because it interfered with Kuwait; a totally useless state that had no basis except to separate it and its vast oil fields from Iraq) and are now witnessing the retaliation of the people of that state.

The peacekeeping aspect of the UN fails miserably
The "peacekeeping" aspect works as a nice cover for imperialism, which is its purpose.
Quote:
Abortion. Do people honestly think that they have a right to tell a woman what she can and can’t do with her body? These are usually the same people who want to proudly march us into the tenth century. I’m not exaggerating when I say that half of these people are complete nut jobs who masturbate FURIOUSLY to all things right winged while loading their rifles and waving their American flags on the warpath to the nearest liberals house. God forbid gays should ever have equal rights, for fear that they will actively seek to destroy America next, and from there the entire world!
This is coming from someone who thinks that anyone who undermines an apparently glorious state (just somehow suffers from spontaneous shittiness) should be arrested.

Now don’t get me wrong, I do not by any means dislike conservatives, hell, I have quite a few conservative tendencies myself. I think the whole liberal vs conservative thing is the most retarded thing to happen since the movie Superbad. When it comes to the Right to Bear Arms, I can safely say that I take the "Molon Labe" stance on this issue. Our constitution DECLARES us the right to have guns, and anyone who thinks gun control is a good idea is WILLFULLY IGNORANT of the standing statistics and should be SHOT, just for the ironic enjoyment of the rest of us.
Those Communists and Anarchists you're condemning also support the right to bear arms.
Quote:
That’s one of the major flaws with American society as I see it, we focus too much on labeling and categorizing each other. In the eyes of an overconservative, if you support gay rights or abortion you’re a hippie liberal commie who needs to be shot for ruining this country. In the eyes of an overliberal, if you DON’T support gay rights or abortion you’re a stingy, old fashioned bigoted bastard who is ruining this country.
I'd say the problem is putting social catagories over economic ones. Scientific analyses and classifications such as bourgeoisie, petty-bourgeoisie, proletariat and lumpenproletariat are purposely ignored in favor of "GAY RIGHTS APPEASER" or whatever.

The liberals, or the “left wing” think that this eagle will fly better without its right wing altogether.
The conservatives, or “right wing” think that this eagle would fly better without its left wing altogether.
Bourgeois "democracy" cannot operate without the nominal competition between the "left" and "right."

I AM advocating bringing down the obsolete, out of date, and useless trends in this country stone by stone and using what we already have to work with to put it back, but better.
You advocate reformism. Yawn. Even though you may hate him, you're basically taking the Michael Moore position. "Shit sucks, but hey, this is AMERICA! AMERICA THE GREAT! WE CAN REBUILD IT AND CREATE GLORY!"
Quote:
The problem with this, however, is that it requires hard work, effort, and money from the politicians pockets. This is a terrible sin to anyone who has ever held office or a position of power, and as such, will most likely never happen.
Politicians are simply representatives of the bourgeoisie.
Quote:
That leaves us with the middle path. Average. Plain.
It leaves us with capitalism, and apparently you want to keep the imperialism, the capitalism, and yet at this same time you want to "revitalize" the country. But then you're just being a utopian.
