Yahoo Agrees to Censor Chinese Portal
Bonker writes: "This article at Salon indicates that Yahoo, as part of a larger pledge to 'purge the Web of content that China's communist government deems subversive', has agreed to censor 'pernicious information that may jeopardize state security and disrupt social stability' from its Chinese portal. Yahoo is one of about 300 other ISPs and websites who have signed the 'Public Pledge on Self-discipline for China Internet Industry'."
...nature's punching bag.
CLOT r00lz

This is a good thing because the last thing we need is the filthy Chinks for getting mad at us over declining to censor.
Besides, it's their nation, we should follow their laws.

In treating this subject Plekhanov contrived completely to ignore the most urgent, burning, and politically most essential issue in the struggle against anarchism, viz., the relation of the revolution to the state, and the question of the state in general! Two sections of his pamphlet stand out: one of them is historical and literary, and contains valuable material on the history of the ideas of Stirner, Proudhon and others; the other is philistine, and contains a clumsy dissertation on the theme that an anarchist cannot be distinguished from a bandit.
A most amusing combination of subjects and most characteristic of Plekhanov's whole activity on the eve of the revolution and during the revolutionary period in Russia. Indeed, in the years 1905 to 1917, Plekhanov revealed himself as a semi-doctrinaire and semi-philistine who, in politics, trailed in the wake of the bourgeoisie.
We have seen how, in their controversy with the anarchists, Marx and Engels with the utmost thoroughness explained their views on the relation of revolution to the state. In 1891, in his foreword to Marx's Critique of the Gotha Program, Engels wrote that "we"--that is, Engels and Marx--"were at that time, hardly two years after the Hague Congress of the (First) International, engaged in the most violent struggle against Bakunin and his anarchists."
The anarchists had tried to claim the Paris Commune as their "own," so to say, as a corroboration of their doctrine; and they utterly failed to understand its lessons and Marx's analysis of these lessons. Anarchism has failed to give anything even approximating a true solution of the concrete political problems, viz., must the old state machine be smashed? And what should be put in its place?
But to speak of "Anarchism and Socialism" while completely evading the question of the state, and failing to take note of the whole development of Marxism before and after the Commune, meant inevitably slipping into opportunism. For what opportunism needs most of all is that the two questions just mentioned should not be raised at all. That in itself is a victory for opportunism.
As Lenin, that hideous creature of Evil, might have said: China's Useful Idiots.

What a lovely troll.
China is a communist nation. You must have posted because you think this is somehow a bad thing. Yet from you comment I assume (please correct me if I'm wrong) that you are a democrat. Now, who do you think is more like the communists, the Democrats or the Republicans?
Campaign Finance Reform: Limits free speech close to an election (John McCain is a Democrat btw)
Fairness in Broadcasting Act: Limits speech on the radio.
Quotes:
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans" - Bill Clinton
"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say." - Bill Clinton
If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees. - Bill Clinton
We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." Hillary Clinton
Although it seems clear to me that all politicians seek power through control and subjugation of the populace, the Democrats are obviously (to me) the worse of the two. I challange anyone to rebut this by posting similar quotes by Bush or Ashcroft.
The bottom line is, I'll gladly take 10 years of Ashcroft as Attorney General than 4 years of pretty much any democrate as president.
