What happens when you oppose Bu$hCo too vigorously

Just saw it on a T-shirt, jet plane making the lines of the peace symbol. I thought it was amusing for its anti left wing establishment humor. That's all. I felt I wasn't being extreme enough to fit in. I'm already sick of it anyway.

I am not in the military or the complex but i have relatives that are. If I tell you anything else, I'll have to kill you.

In the immortal words of R. Limbaugh-speaker for the right- "words mean things". Throwing @ the term "communist" & not knowing the person one is directing the pigeon-hole, assertion at is not illuminating or instructive/constructive for anyone here.

Good on paper? You must be joking.

Lets start with the collective ownership of property, which will inevitably be proceeded by a forced confiscation...

Lets just forget about the sheer folly of trying to centrally manage the chaos of production and distribution of every single good and service we find useful.

Don't even think about the central accumulation of raw power that's a requirement if you want to organize a command economy.

And... I would personally rather not think about the sort of wicked sleazebags that will inevitably gravitate toward that kind all-reaching power.

Surely these items are thought out, on paper, before being implemented.

Communism looks terrible on paper.

On the other hand, I'm all for completely voluntary communal forms. I've lived and loved co-ops, myself. The key difference is that theres a genuine social contract in a voluntary co-op. Opt in? Opt out? Your choice. Not so with a sovereign gov't.

You said it looks good on paper, but implementing it was a different matter, for large groups.

I don't even think it looks good on paper. The basic premise that I don't own what I make looks very bad on paper. Implementing it just makes it look worse.

Some of us have all the luck. In this instance it happened to be you I had to troll for hours to find a quote that would succinctly metasticize my most pressing intellectual dilemma's into one all encompassing sentence. Oh well.

If it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck......

I know what the word communist means. And I must know more about it than the leftists here who panic at the thought of being called out. Does anyone remember the beginning of this thread? Revolution is not a dinner party is not an original idea, people. I'll give a gold star to the first person who replies with the person who said this.

This is typical of comments made here.
