:lol:
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

This imagery made me laugh.  I had the best mental picture.   :-D

Seriously though,  the group story idea was awesome...  and I really don't think we should give up just yet.  Anyone feel like round 2???  

Now that we understand a few of the flaws we can build on it...  so whaddaya say?
Classic.

Let's do a round 2, then, if that's what people want.

Though I'm still completely dumbfounded by the lack of interest in the current story. It has so much potential.

I nominate Mac as the new story starter.  

(no offense to Crono... But it will give it a different flavour)

If that's the concensus, then I'll have something up by tonight (since I'm finally going to see Kill Bill 2 today).
