"Communism and socialism is seductive. It promises us that people will contribute according to ability and receive according to needs. Everybody is equal. Everybody has a right to decent housing, decent food and affordable medical care. History should have taught us that when we hear people talk this stuff -- watch out!" --Walter Williams     | ||

Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Communism is the opposite  [This message has been edited by Buffed_The_Magic_Dragon (edited September 13, 2000).] | ||

Communism is most attractive to those who have nothing to contribute. It means a free ride for those who do not wish to procure for themselves. The fierce competition of Capitalist market sis what makes the U.S. so far ahead of Russia, China, etc. when it comes to medicine, education, healthcare, technology, etc. There is no incentive to excel within a socialist or communist system, for whatever gains you make will be taken away from you. | ||

MD, let me explain myself: When I said that capitalism is the exploitation of man by man and that communism is the opposite I could have also said that: Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man and that Communism is the exploitation of man by man (man by man being the opposite of man by man It was merely a way of expressing how the political/sociological system in place has less influence on the exploitation of the peoples than the few individuals that are actually running the show! | ||

Let's apply Socialism to Bodybuilding, just for shits and grins. Let's see, Thick Dawg is a whole helluva lot bigger than me. That's unfair. Even though he was born a little bitty baby just like me, and even though he worked hard to put on all that mass, it's unfair. What we need to do is make sure that underprivileged skinny boys like me who haven't put the hours in the gym get the same amount of muscle mass as all these selfish bodybuilders do. We'll need to subject Thick Dawg to a mandatory operation which will remove some of his lean muscle tissue and graft it onto poor little me. Oh, and Rotten looks kinda big, too. What's he doing hoarding all of that hard-earned muscle for himself when so many around the world are doing without? We'll need to remove some of that Rotten muscle and put it into some skinny, whining Democrat who keeps getting his lunch money stolen. And while we're at it, let's remove some of his sister's adipose tissue and transplant it to Blackhaus1. Thsi way, everyone will be [b]equal[b]. And that's what we want, right? Rotten, Thick Dawg, and Blackhaus can keep slaving away at the gym, working out, learning about protein and nutrients, and chemistry. And all those Rosie O'Donnell watching lardasses can sit on their asses secure in the knowledge that they wil lget what they deserve once teh Government gets its act together and gives it to them. Sounds great, right?

This anti-communism shit is great, but check this out: The top tax bracket is 39.6%. Why should almost half of my cash be used for bullshit governement programs? The US is far from pure capitalism. Vote for AL Gore and we will get even further away from it. Matt
