Yeah, right... Oh, and part time jobs are way better than no jobs, as many conservatives are okay with the concept of a child in China making a dollar a month, but at least it is a dollar.

Yes, many, many are, this thread makes it quite evident. Although not the same "they" as you mention, but yeah, I agree.

q >Obama has been a house negro since day one, how did that workout for the liberal dreamers?

I would say the large majority of liberals are no longer in denial about their old hero, I mean 7 years of NOTHING is hard to deny. Some will never come around because they just don't seek the details, or they just rationalize the hypocrisy with "he's better than Bush".

Really? It's just conservatives that are OK with this policy? Maybe it's time for a reality check.

Here's the thing, Marx didn't write any political theories, you do realize that capitalism/communism is economic theory right? and past that Marx wrote a critique of capitalism, he added some ideas he thought would make it better.

Obumble threw the rest of the negroes under the bus and made them like it. The tpp, ttip, and the rest of the alphabet crap is a big stab in the back for the people who elected him. He kept it secret for a reason. It may take us 20 years to recover from the obumble fiascos.

I'm following just fine, are you? Marx was a philosopher, as was Socrates. I'm sure you wouldn't say the same of Adam Smith. It could be argued that the founding fathers were also philosophers, of sorts.

HAHAHAHAAHAH LOL Karl Marx's theory of alienation describes the estrangement (Ger. Entfremdung) of people from aspects of their Gattungswesen (“species-essence”) as a consequence of living in a society of stratified social classes. The alienation from the self is a consequence of being a mechanistic part of a social class, which condition estranges a person from his and her humanity.
Socrates believed that philosophy should achieve practical results for the greater well-being of society. He attempted to establish an ethical system based on human reason rather than theological doctrine. He pointed out that human choice was motivated by the desire for happiness. Ultimate wisdom comes from knowing oneself. The more a person knows, the greater his or her ability to reason and make choices that will bring true happiness. Socrates believed that this translated into politics with the best form of government being neither a tyranny nor a democracy. Instead, government worked best when ruled by individuals who had the greatest ability, knowledge, and virtue and possessed a complete understanding of themselves. For Socrates, Athens was a classroom and he went about asking questions of the elite and common man alike, seeking to arrive at political and ethical truths. Socrates didn’t lecture about what he knew. In fact, he claimed to be ignorant because he had no ideas, but wise because he recognized his own ignorance. He asked questions of his fellow Athenians in a dialectic method (the Socratic Method) which compelled the audience to think through a problem to a logical conclusion. Sometimes the answer seemed so obvious, it made Socrates's opponents look foolish. For this, he was admired by some and vilified by others.

You're mixing some of Plato in with Socrates. Socrates had some much faith in democracy he allowed his fellow Athenians to put him to death. Plato's Republic, and many of his views on democracy, was a reaction to Socrates' execution.

If you're going to quote wikipedia, put it in quotations.
Also, you haven't negated my point one ounce. I already know who all of these men were. They were all philosophers, and their philosophy is still as relevent, if not moreso, today as it was then.

You wrote it as if it were your own words. Luckily it's easy to differentiate your words from those of an intelligent person, but you should certainly put it in quotations with a reference.
