Quote from Index piker:
1) I thought we we talking about the US.
2) I have no problem with voluntary communism and have personally lived under such a structure. The key difference is individual consent from each member which is exceptionally rare.
3) Protection of property rights is the cornerstone of western civilization's success : get with the program or be left in the dust materially and morally.
and I have no problem with simple private property but it aint simple now. weird laws that requier lawyers to understand define what's property now. just try to get the mineral rights of your own land. you don't think that's one step towards making you a peasant? and guess who made the laws? and who's got the money for those lawyers?
there must be a lot of people here who think they'll be rich one day, maybe by winning the lottery, so they figure they have to defend richness now, so that theyll be safe when they win. and I'm not talking aobut advancing yourself with being an entrepreneur I'm talking about when it becomes monopoly and you buy your way into gov so you can make even more rules in your favor.
