Ummm....actually, no.
OTOH, a communist without his jackboots on is like a fish out of water.
'bout all he can do is stand around with his buddies complaining about how exploitive the system is.
Rather than whine about it, how 'bout get in there and "exploit" it right back? Oh....I forgot! You're already doing that!
(and good luck with the accounting degree!)

Statistical anomaly.

Let's see. Would I rather have the freedom to exploit poor working people or would I like to see the end of systematic poverty.Originally posted by Velociryx

End of systematic poverty all the way!

Good luck getting communism to do what you want it to do.
I suppose it's easier to believe in a fantasy world where communism is some day implemented the "proper" way than it is to get your hands dirty and try to do something about the problems you percieve here in the real world, but...:: shrug:: that's your bag.

Hey....just an idle observation from a guy whose opinion doesn't count (being just an individual an' all)....nothing to worry yourself over....

Uh oh....now he gets thin skinned.
Well, let's take a closer look then:
Communism as described has NEVER been successfully implemented, though it has been tried repeatedly. Since there are no real world examples now, and since there never have been, and yet, despite that fact, people still believe in it....I'd pretty much call that a fantasy.
You have stated your belief in it. If it's a fantasy, and you believe it, how's that projecting, exactly?
You have also stated your desire for state-mandated equality. I didn't say it....YOU did, and the implication that it carries with it is that it's less fuss, less muss (easier) to deal with the whole equality thing if someone else dictates equality to you.
If that's what you want....have at it, and best of luck.
(and again, no projection)

PS: Did we get testy when you called us exploitive pigdogs? The implication is a helluva lot nastier than saying that you're a dreamer who would rather have the state dictate the terms of your future to you, but we didn't cry foul...

I meant that you were implying that I don't do anything to help people. Again, you don't know me. I don't know where you would get that idea, certainly not from my politics. Now I admit that I believe that people who have sympathetic political ideas are superior to those who don't, but how do you switch that around and say that communists just sit around thinking about fantasy and not helping people?I drank beer.

"Now I admit that I believe that people who have sympathetic political ideas are superior to those who don't"
Therefore forming an Elite of a different nature - one not based upon wealth or earnings, but upon political acceptability.
God, aren't statements like the above what formed the USSR (and ALL other Communist states) into totalitarian hellholes?Comment

No, FORMING an elite is when you create a system that benefits you more and then claiming that you are elite because the system benefits you more. Being elite is another matterOriginally posted by JohnT

No seriously, I don't think I'm elite. God know I'm not the smartest person in the world, and intelligence is important. But the ability to sympathise when each other is another very important social quality. And in that area I think I do pretty good.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...
