In capitalist society, providing it develops under the most favourable conditions, we have a more or less complete democracy in the democratic republic. But this democracy is always hemmed in by the narrow limits set by capitalist exploitation, and consequently always remains, in effect, a democracy for the minority, only for the propertied classes, only for the rich. Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in the ancient Greek republics: freedom for the slave-owners. Owing to the conditions of capitalist exploitation, the modern wage slaves are so crushed by want and poverty that "they cannot be bothered with democracy", "cannot be bothered with politics"; in the ordinary, peaceful course of events, the majority of the population is debarred from participation in public and political life....
Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich--that is the democracy of capitalist society. If we look more closely into the machinery of capitalist democracy, we see everywhere, in the "petty"--supposedly petty--details of the suffrage (residential qualifications, exclusion of women, etc.), in the technique of the representative institutions, in the actual obstacles to the right of assembly (public buildings are not for "paupers"!), in the purely capitalist organization of the daily press, etc., etc.,--we see restriction after restriction upon democracy. These restrictions, exceptions, exclusions, obstacles for the poor seem slight, especially in the eyes of one who has never known want himself and has never been inclose contact with the oppressed classes in their mass life (and nine out of 10, if not 99 out of 100, bourgeois publicists and politicians come under this category); but in their sum total these restrictions exclude and squeeze out the poor from politics, from active participation in democracy.
Marx grasped this essence of capitalist democracy splendidly when, in analyzing the experience of the Commune, he said that the oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall crush and repress them in parliament!
But from this capitalist democracy--that is inevitably narrow and stealthily pushes aside the poor, and is therefore hypocritical and false through and through--forward development does not proceed simply, directly and smoothly, towards "greater and greater democracy", as the liberal professors and petty-bourgeois opportunists would have us believe. No, forward development, i.e., development towards communism, proceeds through the dictatorship of the proletariat, and cannot do otherwise, for the resistance of the capitalist exploiters cannot be broken by anyone else or in any other way.
Plants are people, too. Stop ignoring plants, scientists. You are all a bunch of plant-haters.
Vegetarians are the worst offenders. They are mass murderers, literally, literally. Humans should respect our plant sisters and brothers and stop eating mushrooms and other plants.
When you use metrics, the numbers don't exactly align with the numbers that are used in IMPERIAL measurements, due to the effect of quantumn determination and observer-effects. So instead of RATIONAL numbers, sientists have to invent IMAGINARY numbers, which are more complex and harder to add and subtract (don't even get me started on division! Ugh!) so let's all get together and do the hokley polpokey to day Mister NUTTY HELLO!!!!!
In the future, nobody will use cars. Instead, we will use a combination of passenger rail, llamas, buses, bicycles, and dolphins. Also, dogs may or may not be involved depending on the terrain. Tomato is making a big mistake here. Automobiles are a dying technology. The future belongs to awesome things like trains and llamas. Good day, Slashdort! Remember that no matter how many linuxes you have, it does not equal infinity, which is a really big number that nobody can have except for a dog and an Italian.
Dear Slashdort commentator Culture20 and all other Slashdort readers:
For the freest linquini, always use Spicy Szechuan GPLv3 sauce. Laura says so, and Laura is the all-knowing, all-seeing exalted President for Life of the Campaign for a Free Internet (CFAFI), so you better do what she says! Let's make 2013 the year of COMMUNISM and MARINARAR SAUCE!!!!!!!!
Dear Slashdort: Today is a great day for all the readers of Slashdort, because we will make linquini and boil a Linurx in a stew of Windors. Hooraye! COMMUNISM NOW!
It is a comment on the nature of the invalidity and impotence of America, the nation of goat fartgas and goat fartgas vapors. Truly you are the powerful forearms of a catfish that eats goat fart-water.
America is goatfart. Flatulent, pestulous goatfart. America is a goat breaking wind. A pustulent, stankiferous inflamed goat anus farting loudly and gaseously in all directions. That is America. Long live CHINA, the greatest country!
It fails to respext my essence of llama-being. Privileged white cisgender straight right handed men often try to act like llamas don't exist or that we don't have a voice but you will be subject to the community accountability process and feminist llama power.
All these computers are caused by corporate greed for more of my attention since I am a celebrity and they crave face-time. Well listen up chumps: my face belongs to me and only to a llama, so get your fucking phone out of my face or I will spit llama cuds at you.
I for one believe in internet. The internet makes people stupid and shortsighted, which is why I never use it. My secretary and wife Laura handles all my internet usage for me. As internet usage increases, so will moronosity, advancing the day when I shall rule the world! Ha ha ah ha ha ha ahhhhahahaha!!!!
Last night I upgraded my boxen to Linux 3.7. AWERSORME!
But when, proud of my accomplishments, I went to a well-deserved sleep in my bed, I discovered a horrible problem!
BEDBUGS!
These little critters are gross and almost impossible to get rid of. Since the only thing I did yesterday was upgrade my Linuxes, it had to come from them.
Dear friends on slashdort, Play it safe and wait for the next point release!

The future belongs to the WORKERS. EVVIVA KARL MARX!

I mean, no!
What was the question?
Anyway, greetings, Slashdort! I am pleased to present you with this information.
If you can decode it, you will be able to read it, and you will have eternal bliss.

Linus Tortillaville is a buttgoat sniffer who poops on his face with his weiner.
Because nobody will be named Braydon. Under Communism, people will all have awesome names that can only be expressed with Korean characters.

Expensive fruits of wage-slave labor.
I recommend at least one computer. Also, computers these days require electricity and display monitors.
Furthermore, keyboards are very handy for interfacing with the computer.
Also you will need at least five dogs to ward off attackers who might come on the internet or the LAN to virus you. Big, scary barky dogs.
