Fearman's definitions
Chap who lived back in the nineteenth century. Grew a big beard, in which he invested quite a lot. Had a good head for mathematics and wrote a lot about property and political evolution. A bit boring, not always on the money, and misunderstood by airheads and meatheads, as dead white males usually are. He overestimated both human generosity and the idea of membership of the working class as a badge of pride. Someone recently posted that he taught that the lazy should be allowed leech off the hard-working. This actually is a pretty good picture of present-day America, where the lazy keep getting away with it because the hard-working keep voting for them.

Get the Karl Marx mug.Actually written before the Revolution, by the Okhrana or secret police of the old Tsarist regime, round about the year 1900. Popularised by the later Communist leadership, the Nazis and others. Up there with the environmentalist "Chief Seattle" speech, the volley of excuses for the 2003 war in Iraq, Piltdown Man and the Donation of Constantine as one of the great fakes of history.
If you are suffering from insomnia, might I recommend you read this copy of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion?

Get the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion mug.1. A really sexy looking, easy going hippie chick. Free loving, Earth Momma type. A hot altie.
2. Mould growing on food, often from a combination of lack of preservatives due to Luddite fears and either a tendency to forget the food is there, or an inability to use it up fast enough, on the part of the slightly addled individual who bought it.

Ginny's walking out topless with her bump again. She's a real bit of hippie pepper, all right.
Guess what? There's hippie pepper all over the great BIG bag of garlic again.

Get the hippie pepper mug.An ideology based essentially on the idea expounded by Karl Marx, that in an ideal society everyone would receive what they needed and would produce according to their capacity. From this idea was elaborated a doctrine whereby a Socialist state would be established that would in time subsume the economic structure of society into itself. At this point the State itself would wither and the new ideal Communist society would emerge. It's surely a beautiful idea on paper, and may even work with small tribal bands ... but just try to apply it to a society made of millions of us naked apes and see what happens.
Marx incidentally suggested that agrarian societies would be more likely to develop in time along such lines; the adoption of Communist doctrine by industrial societies like Leninist-Stalinist Russia may arguably be in itself a perversion of Marx's idea.

Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Communism is the exact reverse. - John Gardner
Any man who is not a Communist at the age of twenty is a fool. Any man who is still a Communist at the age of thirty is an even bigger fool. - George Bernard Shaw.
Communism: right idea, wrong species. - Jermaine Evans
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both intelligent and sincere. - George Orwell.
A Communist is like a crocodile - when it opens its mouth you cannot tell whether it is trying to smile or preparing to eat you up. - Winston Churchill

Get the communism mug.Name that sounds or looks so weird that you suspect it must be something else spelled backwards. Only it isn't.
I thought Seredip Posankul sounded weird so I turned it round to see what it said and ended up with luknasoP pidereS. It's obviously just a pseudoccultonym.

Get the pseudoccultonym mug.1. In Ireland, someone who wants the Six Counties back. Typically votes for Sinn Fein, although in the 26-county republic the centre-right majority party Fianna Fail have tried to steal the mantle.
2. In general, someone who supports democracy and dislikes monarchies, even as figureheads.
3. In the United States, someone who screams about persecution of a minority when the minority is very rich and the "persecution" comes in the form of taxation. The symbol is an elephant, presumably because the trunk hoovers up all the money. Someone who is staunchly pro-life ... at least if the life in question can afford a good lawyer. Will fight the terrorists du jour with every nigger/spic/piece of poor white trash they can scoop off the streets, but not themselves and not with their Johnny. You don't have to be an imbecile to be a Republican, but it certainly helps. Living proof of the falsity of their own cherished belief in the pseudoscience of Creationism. You'd think that in three billion seconds, never mind three billion years, God would have gotten it right.

I'm a Republican! Long live the 32-county republic!
I'm a Republican! Down with the Queen!
I'm a Republican, thank God! Where's my next trillion bucks gonna come from?

Get the Republican mug.A hick town (US) or boghole (Ireland) so rednecked, inbred, stupid and antsy that you'd swear someone had engineered the locals from cattle. From H.G. Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau, where the title character makes hominid creatures from other species. Irish versions also known as Ballymoreau.
