    Great points minarchist. It's hilarious to read the responses.

    The root cause of socialist thought is envy of others who are more successful than themselves. This is blatantly displayed by Revolution's response.

    Another hilarious part. They speak of classless society, but still explain that those who contribute more to society will be rewarded for it. Isn't that example what free market capitalism achieves? Free market capitalism is the only system where you get rich by providing services that others deem valuable.

    The truth of the matter is, communism utopia does not exist because it requires every human being exactly the same in ideology, drive and intelligence. The world is not a fair place as some people are taller, stronger and smarter. These people would have a politically connected class of priviledged people who rise to the top not because of merit but because of their adherence to ideology that would effectively handicap people who were better than others. Read Kurt Vonnegut's story Harrison Bergeron to get an idea.

    I believe very much in the power of the individual to do amazing things for society. I personally am proud to hear you are a young man who has done so well for yourself. The reason why you've had such success is because you've provided goods and services that have made life better for your customers. This is how wealth is created.

    These hard core leftists would be good to learn a little "Bourgeois" science, namely economics. Ever hear about the law of comparative advantage? Ever hear about public choice theory? Tragedy of the commons? The effects of incentives? Most utopian leftists have no understanding of any of these concepts and their ignorance shows with every idea they express.

    Be happy that these people have ideas that nobody in their right mind respect.

    Keep working hard, it will pay off. They will be standing by the sidelines envying you and wishing they had the ability to take your things by force...basically common criminal thieves. Communism has caused the deaths of millions of people. Pol Pot was all about creating an egalitarian primitive society that's eco friendly and green. Nevermind the fact he killed anyone who had a history of thinking for themselves.

    Free market capitalism fosters world peace and lifts millions of people out of poverty year after year. The data speaks for itself. The world is getting richer, not poorer.

    Ok, now I'm convinced; this is satire. Nobody really believes this crap do they?

    WTF are you getting on about? Evidence please that I base my ideology off of envy of others?! In fact, I repeatedly point out that socialists should avoid this at all costs (as they will get rich, and then turn their back on leftism to protect themselves).
    Another hilarious part. They speak of classless society, but still explain that those who contribute more to society will be rewarded for it.
    And? Having access to more luxuries does not give one political authority over another (meaning, it does not seperate them into classes).

    No, free market capitalism doesn't exist. But capitalism does provide reward for value creation. I don't think anyone really argues that. But it doesn't address where one recieved their funding, or for whom, or how much of the society value was created.
    If only rich people buy it, that's fine, because the company is still making money. Meanwhile people starve absolutely unnecessarily.

    Congratulations on the ad hominem. Did it strenthen your argument?

    I think there's a professor emeritus of Linguistics at MIT that would disagree with you (and many others). But you know what...
    spare me your appeals to authority and make an actual argument.

    Go fuck yourself
    Communism has caused the deaths of millions of people. Pol Pot was all about creating an egalitarian primitive society that's eco friendly and green. Nevermind the fact he killed anyone who had a history of thinking for themselves.
    Capitalism has caused the deaths of millions of people. Andrew Jackson was all about creating a capitalist bourgie democracy that's entrepreneur friendly and profitable. Nevermind the fact that he killed anyone who had a history for not believing in private property or manifest destiny.
    Once again... go fuck yourself

    The history of the British Empire, American EMpire, WW1, WW2, and all our current fiascos would disagree with you. You're nothing more than a charlatan. Do you even think about the shit you spew out?

    I bet you'd like to think so.
