[Marxism] A word of cauition (was: Key Obama Backer...)

[S. Artesian]

This is hilarious coming from JB, a man who without a bit of caution accused 
Socialism and Democracy of "apartheid publishing"; a man who has urged the 
nuking of all white people, and their honorary fellow travelers, the 
Japanese; a man who has endorsed the spread of viruses that only attack 
white people; a man whose anti-working class vituperation seems to be 
boundless--

But to even intimate that Mr. Buffett and his Berkshire/General Re group 
aren't what they seem, even though General Re's senior management has been 
convicted of fraud-- oh no, perish the thought... why that's just complete 
irresponsibility.

As I responded to Shane the other day, and indeed months ago, when he was 
giving his measure of respect for the "value investing" of Buffett-- the 
difference between Buffett and Madoff is a matter of time.

And.. I note Mr.  Bustelo is on a first name basis-- referring to "Warren" 
as if he were a good friend, a bit misquided perhaps in his career choice, 
but a man of honor.

As for Mr. Bustelo's admonitions to "stay away" blah blah blah-- General 
Re's role in the the AIG accounting fraud, and the conviction of its senior 
management for the same, and its settling of the civil damages, and the 
FSA's banning for life of its UK chief exec, are all matters of the public 
record.

It is not my contention that capitalism is criminal, that property is 
theft-- it is my contention that the distinction between legal and criminal, 
property and theft, depends on who's got ox, and who's gotten gored.

I guess some white people, especially those with enough money to build a 
complete city underground, are safe from Bustelo's nuclear attacks.

Perfect complement for Bustelo's anti-working class bias, his determination 
to afford every full measure of fairness to billionaires.
