He doesn't, because they won't. Which means the proletariat must seize their property by force. And as people are generally inclined to protect their homes and property, you're probably gonna have to kill or imprison them to take their stuff. Which as we've seen several times, is exactly the form this particular ideology takes. Just ask 65 million Chinese or 20 million Russians. (You can't. They're dead.)

    And even after that initial murdering is done, it continues, because Communism as some happy, "everybody is equal - no one is above anyone else" does not exist because for one, people are not wired that way and someone will always take power unchecked. Pretending the ideology when put into practice leads to something else that is good, is just that -- pretend.
    Not defending the USSR in anyway, but I still think you are confusing things.

    When the Russian revolution began, EVERYTHING was owned by royalty of some type. All of it. And everyone else was treated like crap.

    Where people died was when Communism in one person's view was different than someone else- and the thug won. And won over anyone who didn't agree. That's not communism speaking, that's thuggery.

    Given how the world was going, England was lucky to have a Parliament that they elected- as they could have easily fallen into the same spot at the Russians had they not- people died in WWI due to the "Lords" being the only ones that could be officers, and most were terrible at doing it, and much of the population was cheap labor. Just like in Russia.

    The thuggery is one MORE reason that so many people are against don- he's a two bit thug. And is using the office as his battering ram.

    Hitler came to power in an elected government system, too. Left unchecked, we saw what happened there.

    The reasons why communism doesn't work isn't because of thuggery and dictatorships. It's because people just can't work that way.

        So the US communist party want to kill a bunch of people? Is that their stated goal?

        They may be wrong in the economic system that they want to do, but that does not mean they want obliterate anyone but their own race.

              I don't think it is, except in one very important way. It is 45 years later and 100+ days into an administration that has basically been a firestorm.

              Let's be honest. Since the night of the election, political discussion in this country has been nothing short of an astounding frenzy. It's something about which (hopefully) some really excellent books and studies are penned, because I think it's certainly unprecedented here.

              The result of that is the demand to back off gets lost in the noise. It just becomes what is, and has been since early November, "normal."
              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                Relative to your posts about Secretary Clinton, your lack of happiness and degree of frustration are incredibly quiet. Almost defensive.

                Kinda sad. I thought you really had principles.

                Instead you will hide behind the law to protect someone who outright betrays secrets vs. someone who might have, could have....

                      Bitcoin is a currency system, it's counterpart is sovereign currency. That's just one component of whatever economic system you're under. It would be a pretty big change, though.

                      I've tried asking my genius economist friend this but I didn't understand 2.5% of his answer: could there be a single world currency? Can you have an economic market that has no "other" or do you need to have at least 2 currencies to establish the relative value of each currency?

                            the only people stooping are righties like you bending over to lick Trump's ***.

                            There should be no "sides" here, Trump is a disgrace and anyone with half a brain should want him gone, but you're here crying about how unfair the Democrats are.

                              Suckers.

                              Donald Trump's White House has renewed sanctions relief for Iran, despite the US president's past criticism.

                              The easing of sanctions is part of a crucial nuclear deal brokered in 2015 under then-President Barack Obama with five other world powers.

                              Mr Trump has described the landmark agreement as the "worst deal ever".

                                But, as Kep said, in this case, Trump couldn't break the law. Blind squirrel wins.
