See Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I am pretty sure that place is centrally heated and they do not have control over the thermostat - so it's always warm inside when the hot water is flowing. There was a thread here about this before. You must live somewhere warm country? Central heating systems have a thermostat on each radiator which adjust the flow of water through the radiator according to the room temperature.

We're talking Marxist fairness here: it's not fair for someone to have their radiator turned down to 3.5 while others turn theirs up to 10. Vote for me and I will command everyone, including Al Gore, to set everything to 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cho Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Long time ago that K Marx died my dear squirrel. The Berlin Wall fell too (yes in 1989 !)and the Cold War is a distant memory. It is time that mentality change. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All State Capitalists look alike to me, and they all rob us of our economic freedom. So I will respectfully disagree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au cours de mes études, j'ai eu 2 professeurs membres du parti communiste français formés par le système de l'époque. Alors communisme ou capitalisme ? Les 2 ne sont-ils pas l'exploitation de l'homme par l'homme ? A moins que tu n'aies fait un lapsus en écrivant "capitalisme" alors que tu pensais "communisme"... ---- Sure, Tyranny never dies ! Regarding the Comintern, it makes us one common point. During my studies, I had two faculty teachers members of the French Communist Party formed by the system during the 60s. So, communism or capitalism ? Aren't the exploitation of man by man ? unless you made a misspoke writing "capitalism" then you thought "communism". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, communism or capitalism ? Aren't the exploitation of man by man ? unless you made a misspoke writing "capitalism" then you thought "communism". :) I consider Communism to be a form of STATE capitalism, because the government controls the means of production. In Free Enterprise Capitalism, the means of production is controlled by natural market forces of supply & demand and a free right to compete. It is independent from coercive force of government except in the case of fraud or a breach of contract. When I say "State Capitalism," I am referring to its various forms: Communism, Socialism, Mercantilism. Even laissez faire can become a form of State Capitalism in that it allows the formation of monopolies, and a monopoly can be so powerful that it can become, essentially, a coercive governmental power by limiting the choices of its customers and by controlling prices. State Capitalism leads to monopoly of both economic and political power. The people who control this absolute power, often called "the Vanguard of the Proletariat," will ultimately become absolutely corrupt. That's human nature. I am sorry but I know this will not translate well with google translate. -- Je considère le communisme comme une forme de ÉTAT [/ i] le capitalisme, parce que le gouvernement contrôle les moyens de production. Dans Gratuit Enterprise [/ i] capitalisme, les moyens de production sont contrôlés par les forces naturelles du marché de l'offre et de la demande et un droit libre concurrence. Il est indépendant de la force coercitive de l'État, sauf dans le cas d'une fraude ou d'une rupture de contrat. Quand je dis «capitalisme d'État», je me réfère à ses différentes formes: le communisme, le socialisme, le mercantilisme. Même laissez-faire peut devenir une forme de capitalisme d'Etat en ce qu'il permet la formation de monopoles, et un monopole peut être si puissant qu'il peut devenir, pour l'essentiel, un pouvoir gouvernemental coercitive en limitant les choix de ses clients et par le contrôle des prix. Le capitalisme d'État conduit à un monopole de pouvoir tant économique que politique. Les gens qui contrôlent ce pouvoir absolu, souvent appelé "l'avant-garde du prolétariat," seront finalement devenu absolument corrompu. C'est la nature humaine. Je suis désolé, mais je sais que cela ne se traduira pas bien avec google translate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
