RE: A comment on socialism

[Charudatt <charu@iced.com>]

IMO, the vampire like behavior has nothing to do with socialism but is
simply a manifestation of the corruption of unchecked power.

With some modifications the scenario described below could describe
Indonesia or Guatemala. Just replace "socialism" with "anti-communism".
The modality of the blood sucking activity would consist of machine
gunning and bombing farmers in their villages in the name of eliminating
any threats to the free operation of market capital of international
agri-businesses by potential communists while the local vampires grow
ever more distended and engorged.

among

popping
	out, awaiting the arrival of their prey. People are first of all
sucked
	into these offices by the "honey" of a variety of "laws and
"regulations" 
	designed to interfere in every activity of every person. 

	Once the People arrive, we notice them being passed around from
one table
	to the other, from one infected Socialist to another, where the
infected
	"leaders" take turns in sucking the Blood of the People while
giving them
	sweet sedatives of "Garibi Hatao" to prevent them from
complaining about
	why their leaders are so fat and rich while they, the People,
continue to
	be poor. 

	Finally we notice that the People fall, pale and bloodless, to
the ground
	while the Socialists manage to build huge farm houses and
mansions and
	stash away huge amounts of blood in Swiss accounts. Lastly,
these
	textbooks observe with clinical precision, these infected
leaders and
	bureaucrats are noticed to have fallen flat, swollen by the
blood of
	People, into their velvety sofas and beds at the end of their
successful
	day.
