In a stunning development, an Albanian man has been able to destroy the Victims of Communism Memorial Fund (VOC), and its 43,000 supporters (and growing), with a simple trick.
“It was a very simple trick. I first approached the Memorial Fund from a position of absolute material interest. Â I asked them for money. Â I asked them for a lot of money. Â They said no. Â I then asked them for a lot of money, but this time with a justification. Â I told them that I was going to use the money to build a statue of Joe Stalin. Â They still said no. Â I then explained that I was going to use the money to erect a monument to the victims of the VOC. Â They agreed to give me the money and I destroyed them.”
The VOC was never able to recover from the devastating blow dealt by the Albanian man.
“I think that the VOC’s biggest problem was that they said ‘no’ too many times. Â It was a stupid thing to say no, but they said it,” said the Albanian man, who has already destroyed the Victims of Communism Foundation and the Victims of Communism Memorial.
Damn, I guess capitalism works after all,” said an unnamed North Korean official. “We’re going to start a country-wide ‘North Korean Fried Chicken’ franchise next week, and we’ll be making millions in no time.”
The success of the “North Korean Fried Chicken” franchise comes just two days after the Kim Jong-un regime announced that it would allow foreign investors to create businesses in North Korea and earn profits.
“We just need to get the Kim family’s approval, and we’ll be able to make billions of dollars from this business,” said the unnamed North Korean official. “We’re going to open up a lot of the country to foreign investment, and we’re going to provide a lot of benefits to foreign businesses, including tax breaks and other incentives.”
“We’re also going to open up a lot of the country to foreign tourism, and we’re going to allow foreigners to buy property in North Korea,” he continued. “We’re going to build a lot of hotels and resorts and casinos and things like that.”
The unnamed North Korean official also said that the regime is going to build a lot of golf courses and resorts and hotels and things like that.
“We’re going to make a lot of money from the ‘North Korean Fried Chicken’ business,” he concluded.
“I’m not a conspiracy theorist and I’m not a socialist. I’ve never read a Karl Marx book and I don’t know anything about the ideology, but it’s obviously happening because… well, those people are obviously socialists. Why else would they be doing all of these things?”
“Because I’m from a western country, I have to have access to better information than the average person in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. I can’t possibly be mistaken about what I think is happening in other parts of the world. I know better than they do!”
“I’m an expert on the Third World because I’ve read a couple of books with some pretty pictures in them. I’ve also got a few friends who’ve been to Africa… they’re really nice people, by the way. Anyway, I’ve got the best information about how people in other parts of the world think and act, so it’s obvious that I’m right.”
“If Cuba’s infant mortality rate is lower than the United States, it means that the only reason our infant mortality rate is higher is because of a communist conspiracy. If it were really a capitalist country, our infant mortality rate would be lower. After all, we’re the best country ever, so the only reason it isn’t is because of a capitalist conspiracy.”
Average level of political discourse capable by an anarcho capitalist society lmao.
No, the state is the root cause of all of this. It’s not capitalism, it’s the state.
You can’t have capitalism without the state. It is the state which enforces the rules of the game. Capitalism is just an economic system.
It is the state which provides the court system, the police force, the military, the roads, the schools, the intellectual property rights, the laws, the regulations, the contracts, the intellectual property rights, the government paper money, the welfare, the workers’ compensation, the bank bailouts, the legal tender laws, etc, etc. Without the state, there is no capitalism.
Capitalism doesn’t cause corruption of the state, it is the other way round.
How can you call yourself an anarchist if you don’t think capitalism is bad?
Prove to us Queen Elizabeth II is alive, China urges UK
China has urged the UK to show proof that the monarch is alive, after the Chinese media reported on concerns that Queen Elizabeth II had died in her sleep.
The reports, which have circulated on social media for days, have prompted the British government to issue a rare statement on the “speculation”.
Under Britain’s unwritten constitution, if the monarch were to die, her successor would have to be formally proclaimed by parliament before ascending to the throne.
Some have speculated that her absence for several days from public view had left the government unable to carry out the necessary steps.
However, the UK’s Press Association news agency reported on Sunday that Buckingham Palace had confirmed Queen Elizabeth was “fine” and had carried out her normal engagements on the previous day.
The palace did not confirm when the Queen last appeared in public or when she would next be seen.
In a statement on its website, China’s foreign ministry said it was concerned about the reports and asked the UK to provide an explanation.
“If the queen has passed away, the British government and royal family should not keep the news from the public,” the foreign ministry said.
“The UK is obliged to tell China if the queen passes away, so that China can send officials to pay respects to the deceased.”
The queen has slowed down her work schedule considerably in recent years.
But the fact that she has not been seen in public for several days has fuelled speculation that she may be unwell.
Queen Elizabeth is well known among the Chinese public, in part due to her state visits to the country in 1986 and 2005.
It’s really fucking shitty how Vox and other media outfits concentrate on the most sensationalist and extreme examples of the communist movement and ignore the failures of capitalism.
It’s also really shitty how they use words like “brainwashing” and “mind control” to describe any kind of indoctrination.
The US is the only country that has consistently used fear of indoctrination and propaganda to justify its own policies. It’s really fucking shitty.
This is the first time I’ve heard about this operation, but it makes perfect sense given what we know about the Pentagon’s desire for control over vernacular and memes.
Yes, this is an internet forum for anarchists, dengists, and other people who wish to engage in the kind of activity that the Anarchist-Dengist Alliance is about.

They posted a 1-star review on Amazon and said I was a loser and a failure. It hurt my feelings.
I wrote a blog post about it and the post went viral.
I was on Good Morning America and Dr. Phil and The View and Anderson Cooper and Fox and Friends and Larry King Live. I got to tell my story to millions of people, and that felt great.
But then the cyberbully’s mom called me.
