Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Hold on now... that's not true of spice racks, cereal selection, etc. ad nauseum.
Because there are so many communist countries in which the choices were greater....lol :funny:

That one is just, like, WTF? Shouldn't that be "Communism: bringing you fewer choices and lower quality since 1850 (or whenever Marx and Engells got to thinkin')"?

Seeing as you're taking these seriously and critiquing, I reckon this one needs sorting:

Is it preferable to have the state steal in order to bail out, say, the banking industry? The devastations due to letting corporations coerce governments is far greater than the horrors that occur when society takes care of its own ;P

Not that communism had a habit of that, but certainly socialist countries abhorred by the sort that made that poster, for example, certainly...

Once again....doesn't that sound like a more appropriate slogan for a "Communist" demotivator?

Capitalism DOESN'T assume that the person is working for all. Capitalism assumes he's working for himself.

Communism assumes he'll work for all - for society -- or, I suppose, will force him to do so.... :bunny:

Not taking them seriously - I was just confused by two of the ones Sandinista posted. They sound like the slogan was misapplied to the wrong ideology. They'd be more applicable to Communism...

No. Not preferable at all.

I'd have let the fucking wall street criminals go belly up, then audited their books and jailed them for the securities and other offense I am positive those crooks committed.
