Every time 😂

Feb 22 I had her beached, tied off at 12 points, someone else wasn't so secure, they came loose in a storm and hit her, dragging her from her spot and landing her among half a dozen other boats - I believe you can still see her there on Google maps...it also dropped her over a submerged engine block which gouged out the bottom every time a wave crashed her down. It took till August to get a tide big enough to float her out to safety.

Then in January this year I got a call while in town to say she'd broken free from the mooring and was crashing against the beach, between two old houseboats, in a 120mph storm, with heavy rain and foot crashing waves. That was an interesting rescue and if it hadn't been for other people down there I'd have lost her, I reckon. Glad I'd jumped off, too, given the way she was rolling over.

That's her, marked with the arrow, around May when some of the boats surrounding her had been moved - two sunk in the lake during that storm

I walked past a load of conkers on the ground earlier and I didn't even check if any of them were worth playing.

If this is what being a grown up is, it sucks and I quit.

Yes. It took years of development from Marx’s idea through all those „but it was not real communism”

Lenin started bud Stalin had most of the parts in place

No property rights, everything nationalized, no private food production, military-industrial complex.

If you look at western democracies none of these is in place antybakteryjny scale but is implemented partially. Yep, more smart. I would rather say it is crony capitalism than communism. Differences are to significant for me. Moreover, big money rules the world and those guys know that in communism they cannot thrive but only in crony capitalism. Big money will never allow to go full commie.

One note. Those WEF bastards are marxists for sure. There I have no doubt.

I might be wrong cos I know shit but I know what communism was. I remember the 80. luckily not in Soviet Union but it was shit anyway. Far from what is now in the West.

In neo-communism (current democratic system) it is difficult to draw the line or discern between state and big capital (corporations and central banks).

All work in unison, an example is Blackrock whose largest shareholder is Vanguard and Vanguard whose largest shareholder is Blackrock.

At the same time the major shareholders of large companies such as Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, etc. are Blackrock and Vanguard.

On the other hand Blackrock and Vanguard have power groups that pressure governments to legislate and regulate in their favor avoiding among other things competition and free market.

And finally, we have the central banks that through the printing of money and in collaboration with the states make the worker lose purchasing power using the CPI tool (not linked to real inflation).

All this conglomerate that I call neo-communism has only one goal, and that is to keep the masses on the verge of poverty in order to subjugate them and make them sufficiently productive for the achievement of their interests without killing them.

The vice of power has no limits.

Don't forget the axe in case another boats rigging & mast gets entangled in yours. 😂

Youre right, I absolutely must have a knife available at all times because, like you say, mooring lines - there's always the chance of an emergency where I'll have to cut a line so I need the tools to do it. Kinda handy, really.

While I agree with your stance on democracy (especially western liberal ones) I would not compare USSR economy or in general any communist country’s economy to western countries. This is different animal.

In communism economy is fake. People fake work, government (which owns everything) fakes paying them, fakes providing services. Taxes are fake because the wages are so low because government steals this money and then the money is just lost.

Military complex is enormous black hole which sucks all the capital from the economy. Military do not pay directly for any good or services it needs. If USSR wanted to move 5 armies 2000km for some propaganda set up exercise they just did that. Railways moved that stuff and never got paid for that. And it was in any case, any investment that went for military or general government stuff was just done and never paid. This whole type of economy is fake from the bottom to the top.
