Miss Hardbroom and her extra hard broomOnce upon a time there was a young and fairly attractive little girl named Enid somethingorother. Her mother said she would go onto great things. Her mother was her turbo charged broom. It was always handy for her frequent speedy visits to
the local ice-cream parlour. Felicity ate gallons of chocolate ice-cream each
week.

She did not know that the ice-cream prevented her from making horrible
spells.

One beautiful, sunny day Fel ( which is short for Felicity) scooted down to
the ice cream parlour on her turbo charged broom. As she waited patiently
for her chocolate sundae, three bad mannered and obviously brainless
students from schooMiss Hardbroom and her extra hard broom by ~bttlrp

"Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established , an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.

Why do strange people I've never spoken to give me llama badges? I mean, it's a nice gesture, but I don't care nearly enough about such trifling things to give one in return. Sorry :/

Also, this is among the most gobsmackingly well choreographed set pieces in cinema history, from one of my favourite musicals: [link]
Busby Berkeley, you were a hero!

Just stopped by to say Hey! Hope you and your family are doing well.

Did you see the "Boss Mabel" episode?

~bttlrp Feb 12, 2013

That was great, I watched it.

The episode was one of the best so far because of a brief outburst of despair on Mabel's part after she becomes manager:

"What did I do, Dipper?

"
"What you had to Mabel, what you had to."

What's telling about this is how impossible it is to be kind and humane as a capitalist. Mabel is a loving and kind person who is unable to reconcile her humanity with the alienation of the capitalist process, even though she is the boss and not a labourer. Capital forces her to prostitute her humanity to the profit motive, to run the business effectively and therefore exploit her employees to the maximum degree possible. She doesn't do this, and so the business fails.

Everyone demonises Stan as an odious self-obsessed man but he's just a good capitalist.

Capital exploits boss and worker alike, in equal measure. People should act for themselves and for other people, but this is impossible under the capitalist system.

Idk it was just a good episode

~bttlrp Feb 11, 2013

Oh my, it finally aired? No I haven't, I'll watch it tomorrow though! Thanks for the heads up <3 I'm really glared they're continuing the series, I thought they ran out of money or somethin

~jgraham1993 Jan 29, 2013

I just gave you a

you now own something I know that's against socialist communist religion to own property, but I just had to do it

~bttlrp Jan 29, 2013

Communists are against private property (capital) - this is distinct from personal property. A dA llama is neither, so I don't really understand your point bro :/

~jgraham1993 Jan 29, 2013

it is now your property, you can do with your

what ever you want without people interfering.

ie, this is your private property, just like the computer you are using right now is your private property. if we were living in a communism, what would stop me from breaking into the house you live in and stealing your computer? it's not your property apparently.

there are flaws with communism, and that is one of them.

I prefer Agorism which is simply a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges.

It's a graphic on a screen, sent between two accounts which are owned by the proprietors of deviantart.com. You have absolutely no right of ownership of either your account on this website nor the llamas you receive.

In no way is it property.

My computer is privately owned by me, but my ownership of it does not affect anyone else and it is therefore of no importance in a social sense.

None of this has anything remotely to do with Communism, which concerns worker's ownership of the means of production.

Agorism is a form of free-market capitalism in which capital is privately owned and the majority of the population have to sell their labour for a lower value than it's worth. It perpetuates all the same inequalities and wage slavery as any other form of capitalism.

~bttlrp Jan 29, 2013

I own a llama? Cheers but what does that even mean? :S

~jgraham1993 Jan 29, 2013

it depends on what value it has to you I suppose.
