These "details" are the crux of your position. If you haven't thought of them, then you have absolutely no basis in which to say the communism is better than capitalism. How can you say something is better when you don't know how it would work?

Sure they are, but I'm lazy, and I just don't feel like figuring everything out for no reason.

I'm sorry Vel. I just can't read your posts.

and there, ladies and gentlemen...you have it.

The reason Kid doesn't wanna play the capitalist game.

Too much work.

Much easier to let the state take care of everything.

Still stinging from last night's defeat?

I understand fully.

No worries. I didn't expect you to. Too much work involved...

So you admit that when you espouse communism, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's just something easy to say, right?

hmmmmm . .. . . . direct quote --- Funny you freely claim to be something .. . . the very same something you went ballistic about when you believed I IMPLIED it.

:sigh:

Ok. I'm done with the three of you. At least for now.

Not to worry old friend...when you feel the urge again, we'll all still be here, ready to take up the game.

Actually I will go--- I have been on conference today and thats what made it easy to get in here so much. I actually think I would enjoy debating che more. Even when I don't agree with him, I can see some underlying logic to his posts. With kid, he treats everything he believes as a sacred truth

[Velociryx]

Che hit me with a GOLDEN quote, buried somewhere in the other thread.

Something about not stealing my home, unless I owned more than one, cos I didn't need more than one.

Not sure which part I liked best...hearing him admit that it was theft, or the dictatorial part...

We WILL be waiting.


Oh and if you ever attempt to implement this we and thousands like us will be there as well, kicking and screaming.

My capitalist vision continues to be one of well-regulated capitalism where a strong government and regulatory regime curtails and dampens the negative effects of a capitalist system. This means means a strong social safety net and increased access to education.

Its an evolution but I know it has a far better chance of fairness and equality than the horror show that kid proposes.

I saw that one and thought it was tongue-in-cheek at first. It seemed out of line with his other posts. The ones I saw ackowledged some problems with communism.

Kid never does that. .. in the Kidaverse while he hasn't worked out ANY of the details, it will ALL be better than things are now

What I love is that Kid refuses to play the capitalist game. He seems to realize that he has tons of options, but he won't take any of them. But it's the system that's screwing him over!
