bright red's political thing. What does this mean:

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

 

And while I'm at it

"The freer the market, the freer the people"

Christ knows. I'm just not that politically aware.

 

And this

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

That's a FACT isn't it? Doesn't mean I agree with the system.

'kin 'ell Jay, just do the quiz you pillock.
But I don't understand some of the questions.
F*ck off then.
OK.

 

OK, I'm thick

"Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries."

What in the name of buggery are 'plant genetic resources'?

 

RE: And this

I thought the same with that - so replied "strongly agree"...with the statement rather than the concept.

 

RE: OK, I'm thick

The genetic diversity represented by the many local varieties found within crop plants.

Well that's what I found on t'internet search anyway!

 

Turns out

I'm a liberal lefty. Who would have thought it. Maybe if I understood the questions I would have been giving Thatcher a run for her money.

 

RE: Turns out

I've seen that posted up several times....don't think I've ever known anyone not by Ghandi!

 

RE: where is it?

That's cause it's Biglad's thread.

 

? Have I missed something?

 

So the statement is

Companies who have branches in several nations are not adhering to ethical or moral principles by manipulating to their advantage the genetic diversity represented by the many local varieties found within crop plants of poor, often indebted countries of the world that are currently trying to industrialize or develop alternative methods of supporting their populations.

'kin 'ell. I think I need a degree in ecology and economics to answer that one.

 

Me being daft, but you haven't missed owt

You've seen me do that many times before. It was biglad apparently.

 

Well, I thought I'd better do it and..

.. I'm -6.5 , -6.9 !! There I was thinking I was turning into an authoritarian reactionary in my old age!

 

RE: And while I'm at it

"If the market is free to do whatever it wishes then this will benefit everyone". Of course this is blatent B*ll*cks, but its every neo-liberals w@nk fantasy. Free reign to spread their liberal economic **** all over the planet and wreck it for everyone else whilst they make a quick buck so they can be ermm 'successful'.

*and breathe*

 

RE: Well, I thought I'd better do it and..

Id be worried, im only a tiny fraction further left than that!

 

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"...........

......is the basic principle of communism coined by someone with a spectacularly naive view of human nature.

But a lovely big head on his tomb..
