Socialism is based on envy and jealously
So right around April fools day... will we be able to trust any posts that day???
Hey LightRider, can you point to a working version of Marxism in history? k thx
#$%& the haters. Capitalism rules!
What happened to temo.cash? Anyone know if it's down temporarily or permanently?
