I ran into some communists tonight... funny story...

So tonight was this big Looptopia event in downtown Chicago... I live downtown, so I figured it would be impossible to avoid...

Anyways, at one point I was outside a Barnes and Noble and there was a group of 4 or 5 people screaming loudly... something about Revolution/Communism... I thought it must be an anti-China group or anti-Communism thing or something (it sounded like they were calling for a revolution against communism)...

Anyways, I then noticed the red flags and figured they must be pro-communist (they were all really creepy...).

So, just for fun, I went up to them to see if I could get some of their literature... They were really excited that somebody was actually willing to listen to them. But then I found out I had to pay for/buy their stuff. That seems like an oxy moron almost... a group of communists screaming for the end of free markets and capitalism and here they were trying to sell me something....

Anyways, I told them I was already a part of a Revolution, a PEACEFUL revolution: The Ron Paul Revolution. They tried to argue about how capitalism was evil... I told them that we don't have capitalism, we have corporatism, which is essentially fascism, which is evil. Being something of a libertarian, I obviously would disagree with communists... then the walk light changed and I had to move (I was with other people), otherwise I would have gladly argued and won with them.

It makes me think.... shouldn't our meetup have been out there passing out information about Ron Paul?

are they really that

are they really that expensive? I had no idea... guess it wouldn't have been all that worth it since Illinois has already had its primary, and since most people were probably drunk, Obama supporters, or don't care.

The cost of slim Jim

They are $5 for a pack of 100 or $3 per pack if you buy 5 or more. So 3-5 cents each.

Yes, they're expensive.

I'm not sure how much each though.

I was just making the comment that we should charge for info since the communists were. No free rides in this revolution.

you don't try to sell your promotion! that's the problem with communists. they don't understand this whole "market" thing.
