way to kill an entire industry that de facto built internet, in order to whore yourself out to a fading out one, america.
troll ? no. appalled to oblivion maybe. i cant any stronger words to stress the travesty of the situation, really. other than 'whoring' or 'morondom'. really.
I think i wont be alone, if i say that, you are really doing some good shit, with what you are doing, as of this moment. Tho i rarely show proper appreciation for things that are good in my life, i will take the time to say this : Well done, we appreciate that.
a lot of the stuff you take as 'science' today, were ridicule of earlier centuries. there were people saying similar things like you.
moreover, among them there were a lot of the science establishment doing that. on top of it, a lot of it was done to the science pioneers you acknowledge as great today. last, but most importantly, its not a phenomenon that was centuries ago - it is happening frequently, like even in the past decade :
read excerpt in the link, then scroll down (way down) to see which particular great scientist was ridiculed for what. and even called a charlatan. and, most importantly, by whom.
Invented in 1982, other surface scientists refused to believe that atom-scale resolution was possible, and demonstrations of the STM in 1985 were still met by hostility, shouts, and laughter from the specialists in the microscopy field.

the MORONS who ridiculed these people, are still deans, dept. heads around the world in various important universities and corporations.... imagine...

they started deleting characters, houses, all the accumulations of star wars galaxies characters, before they thought it was unprofitable to keep them, contrary to general practice in mmo world. shows how moronic they are by the way - the players who got their stuff deleted wont return to the game anymore now.

Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.[1][2][3] A socialist society is a social structure organized on the basis of relatively equal power-relations, self-management, dispersed decision-making (adhocracy) and a reduction or elimination of hierarchical and bureaucratic forms of administration and governance; the extent of which varies in different types of socialism.
apparently you have been conditioned by a biased source before, during your education. very probably american education in an american college or modeled after an american institution.
the definition of socialism is above. its that. COMMON OWNERSHIP of means of production and their profits. the word 'government' doesnt pass in that definition at any point, it never has been in it at any point. dont pass off the american conditioning of the word 'socialism' like its definition. it makes you look ignorant.
the only reason you may be excused is that, the MEANS to effect such common ownership of everything in crowded, big societies was not possible except using a central government as intermediary, up till today. to effect direct management of resources, the community needed to be small, because of communication and collaboration limitations.
however today we dont even have that limitation. we have instant communication, automatized factories, powerful computer systems.
your knowledge on this matter is incomplete. nazi party adopted socialist rhetoric because socialist votes in german were approx 30% of the voterbase. not to mention they adopted the nationalist jargon, AND on top of it, they especially adopted the army cult due to army being revered by all segments of the society.
in short, they had said whatever would get them votes.
in practice, their 'socialism' was a political control of everything. there was nothing socialist in regard to economic aspects, other than a few shows of sending workers on an overseas cruise a few times with a state cruiser as propaganda.
moreover, ussr had openly stated that they have adopted a 'socialist' method until true communism was possible. not surprisingly, their 'socialism' was also only political, meaning for the sake of efficient government control over economy for warfare, instead of PEOPLE controlling the economy and decision making for their own well being.
it is moronically ignorant to propose that either of these outfits were socialist, just because there was the word 'socialist' in their name. see, united states of america claims democracy, freedom, yet, we daily discuss on violations of these as a common practice, which the government and corporations dont even bother to deny anymore, but instead justify. so, does that make what is taking place 'democratic' ?
really. im tired up fixing the propaganda/conditioning american right has put in a lot of you people.
no, youre mistaken, not only that, but you are also off in your judgment.
temporary mobilization does not mean full mobilization. not mobilizing when needed, and not taking control of private industry in the most critical phase of the war in between 42-44, is an important reason why war lasted as long as it is, and not longer.
'over arching government' != socialism :
and as another poster so aptly put - nazis only were an over arching government for warfare efficiency, just like how bolsheviks were. there wasnt anything that reflected on the well being of the individual citizen - basically, socialization was not about the economy, but politics of how the country was run.
in socialism, goods and resources are controlled by the people. they decide the production through democratic process. NOT an overarching government.
a common misconception the american far right spread around to entire world is 'government means left'. no, government, means government. its nothing related to left or right. an overcontrolling government may be any kind of government, and people may still not get a dime.
the above gives out uncontested factual information about a historical FACT. ALL verifiable, with people and numbers, some of which being still alive today.
what is the reason the idiot modding the above down had used ? '-1 whenever you see anything against established political american right wing conditioning, mod down' ?
there is no correlation in between 'greed' and 'patents' and this or that, and innovation and invention, as THOMAS JEFFERSON, the founder and first director of PATENT OFFICE, puts it:
.....Accordingly, it is a fact, as far as I am informed, that England was, until we copied her, the only country on earth which ever, by a general law, gave a legal right to the exclusive use of an idea. In some other countries it is sometimes done, in a great case, and by a special and personal act, but, generally speaking, other nations have thought that these monopolies produce more embarrassment than advantage to society; and it may be observed that the nations which refuse monopolies of invention, are as fruitful as England in new and useful devices......
if you are going to talk about economy and science history and make synthesis out of in between either of them, learn BOTH first. dont sell generic shit you have been conditioned to memorize in for-profit education institutions to 3rd parties. its an insult to faculties of mind and cognition.
the powers to classify communication has been granted to FCC by LAW. its appalling that the morons who are arguing AGAINST fcc reclassifying internet, had not opposed to FCC classifying it as what it is now in the first place. it was LAW before that allowed it to classify internet, and now, the same law that allows it to classify things gone where ? to dust ?
so, its all legal and good when something is done in the way you like it, you dont object, and it turns exactly the other way, when its not to liking of some private parties ?
first, what someone else posted will set you straight about your american misperception of the world - thinking that any criticism comes to america from europe.
and, observe the top 10 of the above index, and research their history. you will see that your assumptions in regard to the political spectrum of europe, is wrong.
countries which have been predominantly socialist in the history of their last 60 years dominate the top of the index. whereas america fluctuates in between a measly and pathetic 12-15th rank from year to year.
firstly, statistically, if average population on the ENTIRE PLANET is to your left it means that you are on the right of the average. that's that.
second, no, you are way too to the left. when compared with the practices that have been successful in the rest of the world in balancing corporate and public (the people's needs), america is a disaster. you americans complain about it more than anyone else criticizes you, yet, at the same time you are STILL able to argue that you are not too much to the right. contradiction much ?
and you get all worked up when anything of the sort is mentioned or criticized, like how the grandparent got modded troll, despite stating something that is a common opinion in contemporary political science. (leave aside a lot of americans stating that themselves).
you gotta get your shit together. really.
'left' is not evil, 'social' doesnt mean satan, 'private' does not mean 'free', corporate does not mean good.
they were not socialist. they were basically fascist, seeing people as resource, and managing it. rest was total capitalism as fascism liked.
SO that, even at the waning days of war when full mobilization was sorely needed, they never fully mobilized, and a lot of production capacity lay unused in private hands, and the government was still handing out weapon and vehicle design & production as contracts to private corporations, paying them.
had they really been 'socialist' and actually mobilized, the war could take much longer.
what about the left candidates ? before anyone talks nonsense - you do not have any left candidates, or a left party in america. what you think as left there is WAY too much to the right of anything that is considered left in any other part of the world - then again this is the source of your main problem - you are way too right aligned without anything to balance it, and you arent even aware of that.
that is a public decision, through public law. it is made to discourage usage of special UTILITY vehicles, which were designed to work OFF ROAD in the middle of a fscking city.
That is correct. And what's the problem with that? Does the public own all cars parked or driven in public places (like highways, public parking, etc)? After all, you are using public resources just as much as the ISPs are. Of course not. The peoples' rules on who owns what are clear.
public owns all the roads, and they have the right to travel on them HOWEVER they like. no road operator can decide who can travel on the road, and who cannot, and who will pay how much, separately from their vehicle classification.
The point you seem to miss is that the rule of law is more important than your misguided sense of fairness. One can always change laws through lawful means, if they are unfair.
dont use stupid wordage like 'pathetic whine' etc when you dont get shit about what you are talking. the rule of the law, is the commission you named as FCC has the authority to CLASSIFY methods of communication.
fcc ITSELF has classified the internet as something before. now, it is classifying it as something else. it has the authority to do it. arguing the opposite means that you also do not recognize the prior classification based on lack of authority, which went on for two decades and you have ACCEPTED that status quo. if anything, no moron has the right to object to something they had went along with, accepting as legal, for two decades.
however foremost, a commission that has the authority to classify something, has THE RIGHT TO CLASSIFY IT AGAIN.
if you have not been able to perceive the above concepts, dont reply to me. youll be ignored.
you didnt make it. fcc made it, and it is now turning it back. isps are wanting to STEAL your money and property with this.its this. there is no simpler or more politically correct word. its STEALING. nothing less.
