Funnily enough Casper, our champagne guzzling, seafood swallowing sinkov, talks tripe almost every day.

Fantastic stuff Balan but the globe is in the grip of neo-liberalism and the puppet pullers are not about to let go.

Funnily enough Casper, our champagne guzzling, seafood swallowing sinkov, talks tripe almost every day.

Knob of butter in the pan, chop an onion in, let it soften for ten minutes or so, cut the tripe into cubes and add with milk, some more butter and salt and pepper, simmer for 7/8 minutes. Absolutely delicious, miles better than seafood and champagne, cheaper too.

but the globe is in the grip of neo-liberalism and the puppet pullers are not about to let go.

During the 20th Century, Marxism and capitalism were the contending economic theories and the world was almost engulfed by a Third World War due to this struggle.
But, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the other communist bloc governments laid the way for the triumph of capitalism. Today, however, half of the world’s population lives on two dollars a day or less, and the developed countries are in an economic recession that is reminiscent of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Once again, people are asking, “Is there an alternative to capitalism?”

The concentration of wealth where will it end ?

2030: The richest 1% will control two-thirds of World’s wealth, according to 2018 House of Commons (UK) library figures.
2018: The super-rich accumulated 82% of the wealth created the year before – the poorest half of world got nothing.
2017: World’s 8 richest men are as wealthy as half the world’s population.
2016: World’s richest 62 people as wealthy as half of the world population.

If the capital is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or state, the majority of people are exploited by a handful of people. As a result of this process of severe exploitation, a serious explosion takes place. This explosion is known as a depression in the economic world. The concentration of wealth and particularly the concentration in the value of wealth is the fundamental cause of a depression. – Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar

We should not forget even for a moment that this whole animate world is a large family in which nature has not assigned any property to any particular individual. Individual ownership has been created by selfish opportunists so that they might take advantage of the defects of this system in order to grow fatter in a parasitic way. When the whole property of this universe has been inherited by all creatures, how then can there be any justification for a system in which someone receives a flow of huge excess, while others die for lack of a handful of grain?

The aspiration to become rich by exploiting others is a sort of mental malady. In fact, if the eternal hunger of the human soul does not find the real path leading to mental and spiritual wealth, it becomes engaged in the work of depriving other of their rights; it robs them of their material resources. If any member of a family seizes food from a store by application of mental or physical force, he certainly becomes the cause of misery to others. Similar is the case when a capitalist says, “We have seized wealth by intelligence and labour. If others have mental and physical potentialities they may also do it. Who objects to it?” They do not want to realize that the volume of commodities is limited whereas requirements are common to all. In most spheres, abundance for one individual takes the bread out of the mouths of others. It is a mental ailment not to understand this common necessity.


It must always be remembered that the value of money lies in its use. If more money is accumulated than is necessary, it becomes valueless for lack of use. The money you keep idle and valueless makes you responsible for the injustice done to the hungry and the naked. Your valueless hoard shall have to be made valuable by providing opportunities for others’ use.

The human race is about 0.1% of the planet's population.

We have either made extinct or threaten every other living species on our planet and we still don't get it.

Possibly more!
Had to leave mid post so you missed the rest and I’ve lost the thread.
I’m not sure where this thread is going now -we do meander.
Royal wedding - Labour Party conferences - Palestine- poohing. Suppose it’s a bit like most threads in the diversionary route it takes.

You will come to realise on here OC the average concentration span of our posters equals about half of that of a newly spawned tadpole. We meander with the best!

We are getting old and the meanderings regularly follow the same path as some forget which thread the same conversation was on. It’s a sort of Alzheimer’s i guess.

It’s called losing the thread. Lol
