Ultimate digital caliper for modelers.

"Your denial is noted..and found pitiful."

WHAT DENIAL MORON?

Since you obviously failed history before you quit school in the eighth grade. I'll give you brief recap of what happened.

In the USSR model, the revolutionary council that took over after the revolution never followed Marx's dictate of turning the means of production and decision making over to the people.

On of the the primary reason for this was the fact that the first thing the western powers did upon the formation of the Soviet Union was to invade that sovereign nation and inject themselves into a civil war. This effectively put them in a wartime mindset that they needed to direct too much of their resources into defense instead of developing their economy.

After than every susequent successful revolution expected western militarism directed against them and was forced to follow that model.

Since no so-called communist nation ever followed Marx's model to the end, mainly turning the control over to the people. Anyone who is honest can hardly call them communist. The revolutionary councils basically stayed on a an oligarchy. They were ultimately fascist governments, with a two tiered system with a large underclass that supported the tiny ruling overclass.

Try reading books sometimes scumbag.

Since when did Marx' model become the one to follow? Hmmm?

I'd suggest that to you but you seem to be a one trick pony. Pity.

And today we have our own nomenklatura.

Uhhh ... when he wrote the book^H^H^H^H manifesto?

Paul

You what? You actually believe he invented communism? Two morons in one newsgroup. What are the odds?

-- Ray

With you hanging around the chances are high!

Yours, you New York Nitwit. Yours and your ilks.

Indeed.

Really? Flying combat missions in the Texas ANG? In Texas?

Who did they fight against - the Confederate Air Force?

Probably as many as you have.

Well, what do you know? Number two just arrived.

Ahh, typical r.m.r. thread drift. Expect to find something useful about digital calipers and find the children squabbling (as usual).

fl@liner

Your quote setup leaves something to be desired. Who are you addressing this to?

Ray Haddad spake thus:

Well, of course he (Marx) didn't "invent" communism; what, do you think somebody holds a patent on it?

But it would be supremely stupid to argue that he wasn't the primary influence on Communism, and that he didn't lay much of the foundation work (along with Friedrich Engels) that Communist regimes based themselves on, at least in theory. Every schoolkid knows (or should know) this, and in this case it's not just civics-textbook propaganda.

And of course Lenin had something to contribute, based on actual experiences around and after 1917, which is why the ideology is sometimes referred to as "Marxism-Leninism".

As my father was a communist (CPUSA), I think I know something about this; evidently more than you, in any case.

What is it with you blowhard Aussies? Is it just you? or is it too much Fosters, "mate"? Apparently your knowledge of communism is as weak as your abilities in uncovering hackers and crackers, and yet you persist in pontificating on the subject as if you were an expert.

No, I know they are different, but a few inexpensive tools will save you a lot of time by letting you know what you need, before you start looking.

I'm trying to use up what I can of the hundreds of pounds of surplus and salvaged hardware, rather than buy more. About 100 pounds is sorted by diameter, thread and length in 50 drawer cabinets, while the rest is in large coffee cans, waiting to be sorted.

The starting point was the tubing which I had to buy first on the same trip. The internal diameter set the perameters for the screws. I can only buy whatever is available.

Then it won't trouble you at all if others fail at it. Which they did.

You manage to be supremely stupid. How special is that?

I'm not an Aussie. Period. And I don't find you to be important enough to merit me taking time to prove anything to you. Would it even matter? Nope. You'd still argue that something can't be done because your just too stupid to understand the information I already posted here. It would be insane to believe that suddenly you'd gain enough native intelligence to understand my references. In other words, you are terminally dumb.

-- Ray

Oh you mean like the people in the military affairs symposium I'm associated with?

Damn, I miss the good old days when you could just put stupid jingo spouting morons who put the rest of your people at risk with their stupidity permanently on point until the problem resolved itself.

Okay, okay - how about we nuke Ralph Nader too, since he's the one gave Florida the chance to throw the election into the Reagan Court?
