    That's true but there are laws against monopolies. There are no laws currently against idiots like Bernie Sanders.

    Yes, I think it is very possible a return to some form of feudalism, give we are on that path now, or so I and others believe. Socialism would lie on the other side of this. It will take awhile to get there, but getting there is driven by the suffering created by feudalism. And we know historically what economic suffering of the masses creates. Bloody revolutions. There are more of us than them. And it is only by the consent of the masses that any form of an economic model exists. We tend to forget or ignore that fact. Especially the elites, and an elite owned gov't. Greed creates amnesia of history.

    You talk like a man who believes deeply that work is strength of character and vice versa. Someone who's deeply embraced the protestant work ethic. Lemme tell you this: Have you ever spent an entire weekend lazily smoking pot with stupid friends in college? Because some great ideas come out of that, which I would argue is the reason why college students are so left leaning

    There are a lot of governments in existence right now that would prove you wrong (Norway, Sweden, Germany).

    You honestly believe that government would police itself? Everyone admits they are power hungry and corrupt on both sides already, but you want to give them even more control and hope it works out? I think we should just be careful and do a better job against monopolies and let people live their lives. The whole government overlords thing is already on a fast track to tyranny.

    You think when the corporations take over they won't own the politicians even more than they do right now?

    Better than a spill on the airport runway. People of means don't believe in dying at the hands of subversives. :roflol:

    Not that I actually have a problem with smoking pot all day and lounging bro, but isn't this kind of a luxury most people in the world can't afford to do? You know, like, how you want to implement communism all over the world man and like, we can all lounge around and chill all day bro --> Do I sound hypocritical and delusional?

    Now that's a pickle. The government is corrupt and growing, and corporations can't be controlled. That is a lose, lose proposition. Anybody have any ideas? I just don't see how making the government all-powerful is going to be a good idea. Is there any way a citizen is represented in a country as large as ours?

    And why I just say to hell with you guys who try to sneak in your marxist claptrap in small increments.

    Just simply no to everything you say. I know your strategy, and it's to do it slowly and surely, couching your terms carefully, but all the while thinking of your stupid communism as a good enough reason to lie, lie, lie, lie, and lie some more.

    That's why we despise each other.

    I think you have to have a blend. Too much of either is bad. The left keeps the right in line and vice versa. But we are definitely moving more to a socialist blend

    "Ice cream is good, but not if it's too sweet" I mean is this supposed to actually mean anything?

    You may say anything you like. But you can not deny decades of a trend toward more and more socialism. You are just yelling into the wind
