I thnk I just had a very messed up thought - plz take a look

[Unrelenting Steve]

One very clever guy makes a factory, he had the idea, he made it, he gets people to work there, he makes profits of their work and "exploits" them. Now one of the workers picks on this and decides to do something about it, so he takes a look at the machine and then coppies it in his back yard and all the workers go work at the new factory because the profits are shared equaly. So the first guy invents patonting(I think thats spelt wrong, sorry) and the new sociaty is a capitalist one!

May I just acnowledge that my analedgy is quiet messed up and I am in no way saying communists have to go steal others ideas because they are stupid, the idea and workings of the machine which is copied is more of an analedgy for resources that the worker does not posses.

After saying that I now see that this post is quiet utterly useless (its etremely obvious), but I will post it neway because it took so damn long to type!

I cant imagine what people will reply to this post:
ah! a question, Is this the essence of communism, have I got it right?

Oh and plz would someone say something construtive or clever to my other post: http://www.che-lives.com/cgi/community/top...m=22&topic=2405 (http://www.che-lives.com/cgi/community/topic.pl?forum=22&topic=2405)

And? Your analogy is oversimplified

What's your point/question?

Plz show me the flaw.

[Unrelenting Steve]

sorry I only caught the oversimplified edit from "flawd" now, but what does it lack to not be valid?

Yes, I changed flawed to oversimplified. Not so much that a part of your analogy is invalid, only so much that you've deconstructed a large situation, and put it into really miniscule terms.

Further, not one thing or situation on its own, no matter how large, could be put down as 'the essence of communism'

Also, I'm not actually a communist, so someone else will have to give you a pro-communist response.

If its not invalid, work with the terms I have provided and show why communism does not work or is wrong or whatever, that is the point of an analedgy isnt it, to try and more simply show someone what your talking about so they can more clearly see the truth or prove most definatley why the concept I am ilistrating is false ( of course the analedgy has to be valid thought, which I could most possibly say mine is not (If it turns out to not be valid))
