I don’t know much about card games, so thought you were being serious before looking it up! LOL 🙂
Have you noticed that the longer ago a war was, the more honest historians (& the media) are about it?
Take the Franco-Prussian war, for example. This is how Wikipedia describes the cause of it: “The conflict was caused primarily by France’s determination to reassert its dominant position in continental Europe, which appeared in question following the decisive Prussian victory over Austria in 1866. According to some historians, Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck deliberately provoked the French into declaring war on Prussia in order to induce four independent southern German states — Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria and Hesse-Darmstadt — to join the North German Confederation; other historians contend that Bismarck exploited the circumstances as they unfolded. All agree that Bismarck recognized the potential for new German alliances, given the situation as a whole.”
And the result: “Following an armistice with France, the Treaty of Frankfurt was signed on 10 May 1871, giving Germany billions of francs in war indemnity, as well as most of Alsace and parts of Lorraine [most of which spoke German dialects], which became the Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorrain.
“The war had a lasting impact on Europe. By hastening German unification [with the exception of Austria], the war significantly altered the balance of power on the continent.”
Notice there’s nothing here about fighting for freedom & democracy. It states what the war was really about.
If I don’t post this beautiful song, I’m certain someone else would. It’s been used in a few films; most notably “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” (starring Robert Culp, my luuuv <3, Elliott Gould, and Dyan Cannon).
More like: “Give a world from each according to ability to each according to need, a chance.”
Doesn’t that just roll off the tongue?Anyway, here’s “Working Class Man” by Jimmy Barnes:

Thanks Alan & ALB for your very helpful information. 🙂
What’s the deal with SPEW stealing our name, anyway?
The Electoral Commission says that if you’re creating a new political party, you’re not allowed to have the same name as another, or a name that is so similar to another party that it causes confusion between the two.
Trots know capitalism can’t be reformed. They keep telling workers to support reforms & vote for the Labour Party because they think workers will find out for themselves that it can’t be reformed, and so decide to help the vanguard party to take over the country.
“You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.”
The reason why we don’t live in world socialism, even though the World Socialist Movement has existed since 1904.
Kim Johnson, MP, would also like to apologise for calling South Africa before the 1990’s, an apartheid state, and for calling a spade a spade. She recognises this as insensitive.
These so-called journalists uncritically report Rishi Sunak saying the country can’t afford to give health care workers a pay rise, and then boast about how much aid they’re sending to Ukraine!

Remember boy, that your forefather’s died
Lost in millions for a country’s pride
Never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one
A spirit stronger than war was at work that night
December 1914 cold, clear and bright
Countries’ borders were right out of sight
They joined together and decided not to fight
All together now, all together now
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
The same old story again
All those tears shed in vain
Nothing learnt and nothing gained
Only hope remains
All together now, all together now
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together now), all together now (all together now)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
The boys had their say, they said no (all together now)
Stop the slaughter, let’s go home
Let’s go, let’s go (all together now)
Let’s go (all together now), let’s go, let’s go
The boys had their say, they said no (all together now)
Stop the slaughter, let’s go home
Let’s go, let’s go (all together now)
Let’s go (all together now), let’s go home
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
All together now (all together now), all together now (all together)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
All together now (all together, all together)
All together now (all together now)
All together now (together, together)
