I tend to tilt toward Libertarian Socialism making me more of a Bakuninist than a Marxist. Still, carry on building those strawmen, they’re easy targets and provide an adequate level of challenge for you two.

I wonder if he thinks that the second biggest economy in the world – growing at 10% a year or something – is still actually run as a “communist country”?

Radio New Zealand exists to reinforce establishment dogma by defining what the ruling elite considers the acceptable limits of political dissent.

Interpretation: Because they do not preach the works of Karl Marx they are the puppet of the the ruling class, continuing to brainwash the proletariat, preventing them from rising up against their oppressors and seizing the power that is rightfully theirs.

Yoza, the reason communism failed is that Marx was wrong.

That’s called theft and cronyism.

I like the free weekly Econtalk with Russ Roberts http://www.econtalk.org/

I also pay $4 per month for LawTalk with Richard Epstein and John Yoo http://ricochet.com/podcasts/law-talk and I get 2 or 3 other podcasts a week there

As Red says above Mark Levin is free every day and a lot of fun http://www.marklevinshow.com/sectional.asp?id=32930

And for story time this is far better than the crap on RNZ http://www.audible.com/

….”the undoubtedly vast cost of state-subsidised psychotropic medicine for the likes of Redbaiter.”…..

Where would we be without Pharmac?

Or would you rather bludge off all the other working NZers who manage to be decent human beings without RNZ telling them how?

I happen to enjoy RNZ, I do not agree with most of the hosts who are all left wing but like longknives I appreciate that they are adults and not the mindless fuckwits you hear on music radio.

What I do object to is paying for RNZ.

The obvious solution is to sell RNZ and have the new owners compete in the private sector for advertising dollars, if the figures quoted for Jim Mora’s show are true then RNZ could make a bloody fortune if they sold advertising.

I admit I was only guessing at the budget, but at least I’m smart enough to know that there are not 4 million taxpayers in NZ you pathetic dumbarse. In fact if you used the figure that represents real taxpayers, ie the comparitively few working in the productive sector, then it would only be about 1/8th of that 4 million, meaning the true figure per real taxpayer (if you’re correct on the budget) is about $65.

But the cost is immaterial. It is the thought behind the action that is wrong, and its one that because you commies are such amoral scum, you extend right across the board into so many facets of our lives, and that thought is that if you want access to our wallets you merely elect the kind of cowardly left wing politicians who have absolutely no scruples in robbing Peter (me) to pay Paul (you), and they will in return for your vote, willingly enact the necessary legislation to enable this theft.

Such an abominable corruption of democracy and government.

Radio New Zealand exists to reinforce establishment dogma by defining what the ruling elite considers the acceptable limits of political dissent. An example of these limits are best illustrated by the ‘Politics’ program after the 11 o’clock news on Mondays – from the right Matthew Hooton (fair enough) and from the left Josie Pagani. The only thing ‘left’ about Josie Pagani is the fact she is not Matthew Hooton.

I always listen to RNZ with The Panel being a daily highlight, but calling it left leaning just plane delusional.

PS. I hope I don’t dream about Redbaiter’s ‘uncased open hole’.

I would never lower my standards to the extent where I would listen to extreme left state employees pretending to be radio personalities on a station forcibly financed by people who despise them and would never listen to them.

Anyone who would willingly participate in such an unprincipled farce would have to be possessed of an extremely low moral threshold and therefore would not be someone I would need to listen to.

Is that per chance because no-one listens to fucking music stations anymore (except fucktards like me) with all the modern technology to listen to your own music selection?

The shit for brains airhead sounding semi-literate babysitter radio DJs are the worst:

*g’day, it’s moron here…. what’s the goss today? blah blah blah wow… over the top fake happy person patter blah blah blah join the conversation blah blah blah we’re giving away bullshit blah blah blah touring this month are these tossers blah blah blah yesterday my flatmate went out on a date with a girl who farts the national anthem but she’s really hot what should he do blah blah blah* SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU CUNT SOUNDING FUCKWITS!!!!!
