    Not with any attitude regarding assassinating your way out of capitalism.

    It simply will not work.

    And if you think healthcare in America is going to get cheaper or fairer because of this, you know nothing about America.

          How about it? Literally nothing to do with ending capitalism. The assasination of Franz Ferdinand was done in the name of Serbian nationalism. How does it apply here? You are grasping at straws, try again.

            Gavrilio Princip was an anarchist. Despite what libertarians might have you believe, they are not and never have been fans of capitalism. So no, I’m not.

                Yeah, just nationalism and nothing else.

                Some Princip quotes:

                I am the son of peasants and I know what is happening in the villages. That is why I wanted to take revenge, and I regret nothing.

                The oppressed have the right to rise against their oppressors.

                Our struggle is not against individuals, but against the system that perpetuates their power.

                We are the voice of the voiceless, the hope of the oppressed.

                But those are just things he personally said, not a Wikipedia entry, so…

                  He worked with 6 other assasins, their stated goal was an independent Serbia… like it’s not up for debate silly goose.

                    Sure, none of those things he literally said had anything to do what he actually believed.

                    What do you think the reason he wanted an independent Serbia was?
