At least these people are honest

Oh, how I wish I could be in Los Angeles for this certifiable, circus freak-show:
The tease on their website is even more laughable. My snark is in italics.
Join us on April 25 in Los Angeles for a Socialism Conference & Workshops hosted by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Find out what socialism is, what we aim for, and why socialism is the only answer to the misery created by capitalism.
And the upside is, if you don't like this
final solutiononly answer, we'll probably just throw you in prison as a political dissident or throw you in a mass grave. Because, after all, oppression and murder is what socialism does best. Go with what you know, they say.Capitalism is a form of organized crime.
As opposed to the organized crimes against humanity committed by such noted socialists like Lenin, Stalin, Chairman Mao, etc. Totally different. And after all, what has capitalism and free markets and free trade ever done but lift innumerable peoples out of poverty and misery. But hey, who's counting?
The U.S. government is greasing the system's wheels to ensure that banks and big corporations get trillions in bailout funds.
Dear God, they actually have a point on which we agree. The government shouldn't be fueling these big corporations through these ill-advised and endless bailouts with our money. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, this is where said agreement ends.
Meanwhile, millions of workers are losing their jobs and homes in California and the rest of the U.S. Deep cuts are gutting public education, making health care even less accessible and decimating much-needed social programs.
Really? That line about public education is patently laughable. We have the same debate every single year about education: "Should we spend X amount more or should we spend Y amount more?" And it always ends with the same results: more spending the begets no improvement.
More racist cops are on the streets, and business for the military- and prison-industrial complexes are booming. Working-class people are being hit from all sides.
Did Louis Farrakhan write this?
Washington and Wall Street want to keep this oppressive system afloat. That's why the White House allowed AIG to grant multi-million dollar bonuses to top execs, all of whom should be in jail.
Do they mean all of the White House or all of AIG?
It doesn't have to be this way. If you want to build a fight back movement against racism, bigotry and capitalist exploitation, join us for the April 25 Conference & Workshops in L.A. Be part of the struggle for socialism!
It doesn't have to be this way! We could all be equally miserable. We could be all be living in awesome government housing like this:
And driving even more awesome cars like this:
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
And, like we said, if you don't like it... we'll probably just kill you off anyway. So, no worries.
And aren't you just jazzed about the opportunity to take reeducation classes:
* Fight for workers in the economic crisis
* What is socialism? Why do we need revolutionary change now?
* Build a revolutionary party in the United States
* Fight layoffs, evictions, foreclosures, union busting & education cuts
* Capitalism must go: stop racism, sexism & homophobia--equality for all!
* Win full rights for all immigrants
* Stop police brutality and racist oppression
* Organize a youth and student fight back movement
* Socialism in Cuba, revolution in Venezuela
Awesome. But you've got to hand it to them for being completely up front about what they want...
Revolution and the decimination of everything on which this country was founded.
