Soviet Russia was not communist -Part One- Labor and the means of production

in politics •  8 years ago 

The problem w/these commies is that they think they can remove humans from the equation...at the end of the day SOMEONE or a group of SOMEONES is going to be making decisions as to the disposition of resources...there is going to be SOME kind of hierarchy involved in decisions-making.

And the mental gymnastics this author did in order to differentiate between "private" and "personal" property...just painful to read.

I liked this sentence:

"Personal property is something you use and labor on yourself. Your car, TV and your toothbrush are all examples of this."

The author seems wholly unaware that things like cars, TVs, and toothbrushes are the product of others' labor (since NO ONE individual is going to be able to make these things) and that, by using these devices, you are PROFITING OFF OF OTHERS' LABOR.

IMO, inside every communist is a wanna-be oligarch...
