Are you comparing robbing a bank with reporting the news?

False Alarm. Someone called the cops on them and said they were holding hostages. Cops came, saw nothing, left.

Keep quiet with your liberal online quasi-activism. Daily we face similar treatment from Swedish pigs on syndicalist (many of us are communists) union blockades[1][2][3] against capitalist parasites who refuse to pay undocumented labourers decent wages. So I hardly support this, like you idealist liberal idiots do (when it's not directed at you, that is, then it's an outrage).Communism is "authoritarian fascism"? Fascism is the last stand of capitalism when it faces extiction from communist revolution. The evidence is in the history of Europe, and in the acts of American capitalists in the beginning of the 20th century. To quote Slovenian Marxist and cultural critic Slavoj Žižek; "communism will win", be it through violence or not. That's up to you reactionary liberals.1. <a class="user" href="http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://www.arbetaren.se/articles/inrikes20080903">http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en ...</a>2. <a class="user" href="http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://www.arbetaren.se/articles/inrikes20080827-3">http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en ...</a>3. <a class="user" href="http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://www.arbetaren.se/articles/inrikes20080822">http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en ...</a>

Wow, are you clueless. You even accuse me of being a "liberal". You know jacks**t about me. Given that you're not an American and I see that you're in Sweden, you may have a different idea of what liberal means since "liberal" would have a different meaning in America. I am anything but a liberal. I detest the liberals in my country and vehemently disagree with them. To put it precisely, I am an anarcho-capitalist libertarian. I know you don't like that since you're apparently an anarcho-communist who hates private property and believes in achieving some stateless, classless Utopia. Dream on. That won't work.You also appear to hate "capitalism", however you define that term. Yes, I know Karl Marx coined that term, but capitalism in the American sense has a different meaning. Capitalism in the traditional American cultural sense is what made America great and it is about the free market, private property rights, the right to make voluntary, consensual agreements, and contractual law. It is Natural Law, but of course I know you believe in those distorted myths about U.S. history and you think Capitalism is what exploited people. If you accuse Capitalism as being the problem with America in the 20th century, then you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, I was being flip and loose with my name calling in directing authoritarian fascist at you. I wasn't worrying about being technically correct there, but nevertheless if you're a communist of any stripe then that by definition does make you an authoritarian because you won't let people be free to run their lives without your egalitarian, commune rules and won't let them run their businesses or have their private property, assuming you're an anarcho-communist against private property. If you think anarcho-communism is so great, then go form your own little private commune where you and your brethren can live out your pathetic little existence how you see fit, but leave other people the hell alone and mind your own f**king business. If you don't, but instead feel you need to force this way upon other then that makes you an authoritarian. An authoritarian is a control freak who doesn't mind his own business and who tries to tell other people how to run their lives. Leave people the f**k alone!

Liberal in the political and economical sense. Free markets and free trade, private property rights and liberal democracy. Liberal.There is no greater oxymoron than "anarcho-capitalist". A condition for anarchism is no masters. A condition for capitalism is owners of capital. Capitalists most certainly wield power through their ownership of capital, hence capitalism can never be anarchist. Those who advocate so-called libertarian capitalism are liberals, they just took the ideology to it's extremes. A society guided in all spheres of public life (both in the economic base and the cultural, political and scientifical superstructure) by supply and demand would decay incredibly rapidly. It's an idealist dream that such a society could last for longer than a couple of months.I'm not an "anarcho-communist". I'm a communist, plain and simple. Communism is anarchist by definition, as it's the stage of history where external mastery over one's life has been abolished. Hence the meaning of anarchism (no masters) is in effect.Karl Marx didn't coin the term "capitalism". The term is as old as capitalism itself. "Capitalist" means someone owning capital. Liberalism is the capitalist ideology.I won't comment on the rest of your history revisionism and pseudo-intellectual liberal arguments for private property. There is much less point in arguing with a liberal than with even a conservative.
