Watermelons on the anniversary of Climategate

"Green on the outside, red on the inside"... Talk about not mincing words...

A watermellon is a good metaphore for the common brain of the right reactionary... Hard on the outside and mushy on the inside..

My economics is socialist.. We will have it, and the only choice is whether we will have the socialism of poverty or of luxury... In fact; without certain knowledge no one can say whether the rich owning most of the commonwelath does not preserve some resources for being destroyed... What is clear is that waste and mismanagement is the rule, that every day reveals people from one city streaming to another, in all likelyhood performing the same jobs in different places of those people coming from the opposite direction...

Our numerous producers competing for, and flooding the markets, the booms and busts, the wasting of fortunes, and capital, and lives are nothing to recommend capital... If we consider the wars for markets and resources, the world wide denials of rights and justice for capital, the destruction of all it cannot put a price on and bring to market, including native cultures; then capital is everywhere a criminal enterprise...

But whether gathered by fair means or foul; whose wealth is it???...Since you bring up the issue of redistribution of wealth; who's wealth is it???... Our oldest property law, which is really the fast fish principal known to those familiar to Moby Dick, says that only the government can dispose of Indian Lands because the government, as the people, has taken all that land from the natives, and made it our commonwealth... If the people of the commonwealth should see fit to allow some people to have some of the commonwealth, it must still support the population in private hands, and it must still pay for its own defense...Property is not just to look at, and to warn others off of... Whether in private hands or public, wealth is still the common wealth, and the rich are on their good behavior with it, or it can at any moment be returned to the people and to the commonwealth, as it should be through taxes, piecemeal...

You should try to understand that both rights and property are what the people say they are, and that as much as the rich, having all, wish to make a dynamic situation static and fixed forever in time; -it is not, and will never be so... Let the rich put a fence around all they own..Let them hire private police when they will not pay taxes for public plice.... Let them deny to the commonwealth their support, and call all they own: Free and Clear... The people own both the fence, and the land it surrounds, and all the wealth in all the banks- if they should so decide, and it is the rich who make certain of the day when all is taken back into the commonwealth and we begin this nation anew; and the only question without answer is: Will the rich lay their necks on the chopping blocks in a vain attempt to protect their privilage...
