exactly, only capitalists would make fun of communism. what's your point???
...yes, and only non-men are not men. What's your point? Rather than using logic and reason to debate whether or not his satirical picture of Communism was accurate, you merely lashed out with an ad hominem attack by calling him a "capitalist" - as if that somehow negates his logic without having to give a counterargument.
we don't need to flee. we need to stand up to fix this world and create a one world without borders and countries and governments that actually hate people, and a world in which money has no power over people and is not idolized like God. people must unite in one world to eliminate all wars and need for weapons of mass destruction.
People do not worship money. Immoral (or rather, shallow) people worship material wealth, but this is present in all societies, with or without money. Money is merely a symbol of exchange for wealth and production. It is just a convenient way for people to voluntarily trade goods with each other. It's merely a mutually agreed medium of exchange for all goods. Let's say you catch fish, Jimmy mines salt, and Freddy makes clothes. You want some salt for your fish, but Jimmy has plenty of fish. What he really needs is some underwear, because he crapped his pants when he read your ridiculous posts. Since you're bartering directly, you guys have to wait for Freddy to come around. He needs some fish to eat, but he has more pairs of underwear than the underpants gnomes from South Park. Once he comes around, he can trade some underwear for some of your fish, and only then can you trade some underwear for Jimmy's salt. In other words, the direct bartering system is completely moral, but it's a bit of a mess. Money fixes that, because when everyone mutually agrees on a common medium of exchange, you and Jimmy don't
have to wait for Freddy to come around. You can give Jimmy a dollar, and he'll give you a sack of salt, and then he can give Freddy a dollar for a pair of clean underwear, and then Freddy can come by your place when he gets hungry to buy some fish for a buck. This is not "worship of money" - when money is honest, it's merely a tool to help facilitate the fair and voluntary exchange of goods and services.
People do not worship money, but immoral people DO worship wealth, and this occurs regardless of the existence of money. Under a Communist system, most people are tricked into worshipping the state above all else, but the rulers still worship wealth (and power), because
power corrupts. They become quite comfortable being the first in line for all goods and services, and when those run out due to their piss-poor centralized planning, they don't pay the price - it's only the unlucky quarter of the population that dies of starvation. Who cares about those people though, right? After all, the rulers just LOVE the people...and after all, some people are just naturally gifted with the right and God-given moral authority to rule over everyone else and make their decisions for them.
our country has risen above all countries in the world because it is the most rich country in the world. when rich become paranoid, they start to think of ways how they can protect themselves from the poor (third world countries). "Fascism will come to America in the name of anti-fascism'. I'm afraid, based on my own long experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security." - Sen. Huey Long
You must understand that USA can not afford to be a FREE country anymore. USA must become a Fascist nation to prevent being conquered by purchase after the collapse of our economy!
If USA will stay free, it will be exploited by foreign capitalists and American people will never have a future, because all businesses will be benefiting foreign nations with monthly residual fortunes.
I must understand? Free "anymore?" We're not free now, and that's the whole point! The decline of freedom is exactly what has led America to this state. Those in power will try more and more overt fascism to retain their power, of this you are correct, but if we regained our freedom instead, we would also regain our wealth. You say we cannot afford to be free anymore, but on the contrary, we can no longer afford to continue losing our freedom. I painstakingly explained in great detail, in a 3000+ word post, exactly what has been destroying our country. You ignored that post, presumably because cold logic is toxic to your way of thinking. When I explained in great detail on page 2 why Communism is doomed to fail, you responded with a one-line platitude with no substantive basis. Why must
I "understand" any of your emotional ravings? You always seem to start from solid ground, but then you totally jump to the wrong conclusion with no evidence whatsoever, at which point your argument performs a metaphorical face-first dive from the top of a cliff. That's not exactly indicative of a sound worldview.
