No because he's super secret. He would be agent 0007.



So he's restricted from himself and MI6 but everyone else can see and

execute him? I guess that makes sense too because billions of people
watch everything going on in the movies while he and M are in the dark.





Are you talking about the regular M, who happened to be a man?

Sure, I don't care. I actually am not a big fan of James Bond. Screw the redcoats.

James Bond is not great, but still his movies are great for drunktard parties.


I like that one in which Bond bitch slaps that she-russian SPy and throws her on the bed. Then he fucks her. Such an educative movie about getting a girl the propper way, HAHAHAHAHA

The Hand that Covers Mouths can only blame Itself for getting Bitten.

It's been said that Violence IS the voice of the Unheard - https://ezinearticles.com/?Violence-Is-the-Voice-of-the-Unheard!&id=10304395
What is censorship but silencing a voice or a thought so as to make it unheard? And in that, is it not those who promote censorship that are creating the circumstances to induce violence?
So, can it not be said that Facebook promotes VIOLENCE through Censorship?

Communism and Socialism are essentially Theocracies where the official religion is the government itself; and all Theocracies are dystopian.

I donno, when i was brought up they were different.  Sure, the perverted versions of the CCP and Russia perverted communism to the point of being socialism. But on paper they were different.

When i was taught, communism was more like the tribes of native american Indians. A true communal, and volunteer, environment. ( which i do agree, will NOT work on the macro scale )  and socialism is basically large scale forced bait/switch/redistribution by an oppressive government.

I mean, the Hippie communes of the 60's were fine, but they weren't exactly what you'd call a "government", and nobody stopped you from leaving if you wanted (other than the cult communes).  And I would argue that the native americans had a Tribal government, not a Communist or Socialist government.  Tribal governments tend towards communal behaviors due to necessity as a consequence of smaller populations.

We saw tribal as communistic ( and optional, you could leave.. ).  But its all semantics at this point i guess, both in their current form, are bad. I do think most of the hippies had good, tho somewhat naive, intentions, but they were perverted by outsiders, manipulating things into a more totalitarian/socialist environment and using their goodwill as fuel.

I guess from my rant earlier, im stuck on 'words mean things' sort of thing. Ill stop and go walk the dogs.

It is funny. Modern communists argue that Socialists are betrayers working fort Capitalists.

Along these lines, I've also heard the amish described as modern day examples of a communist society.

I don't know enough about amish society to comment on that, but I wonder: by this sort of definition, has there ever been a "true communist" society that actually referred to themselves as communists?

I think that due to their hard core religious and 'rule based' society, they are more fascist than communist.  But that is from an outsider's point of view. I could be wrong.  I think you can leave, but its frowned upon and unsure if you can ever return.. 

 

I suspect some of the hippy movements did.  Since they were more traditionalist and not afraid to admit it.     But ya, most that claim to be, are something else worse.

It is interesting that the words commune, community, communion, and communism all come from the same root but they have very different meanings.

That really depends on which amish/mennonite community someone is from.  Some allow people to return, some don't.

Depends on the 'sect'

Some of them, i dont see any difference in practical terms. They drive cars, use computers and cell phones, own businesses in town that sell to regular folk.
