I'm sure the provincial government will pay for comedic skills training and upgrading.

I just don't think it's good (communism/socialism). I think it was designed to smash the middle class and clearly delineate the ruling and the ruled, which is what it seems to be doing all over the world. I don't think it acknowledges human nature, it requires people all have a brotherly attitude and a desire to share, which is unrealistic. I think Island by Aldous Huxley is a freakish nightmare fairy tale written by a drug-addled dying man--Brave New World much closer to the truth.

that's the whole point you little dildo. I started making bad occupy puns because i hate people who crack occupy jokes, especially ones that are needlessly dumb and show no understanding of the underlying causes of all this unrest. P.S. human nature is shaped MORE by genetics and evolution, sorry to break the news to you but millions of years of selfish gene evolution and only sharing with local groups not global ones can't be changed by holding hands and singing songs.

we have new knowl. and tech. but the human brain hasn't changed, and that's why the reasons communism failed still apply today. i mean how can you have a non-competitive economy? what if someone can bring you great products at low low prices, even lower than walmart? without competition, walmart would be God and there could be no challengers
businesses fail when they are not as good as their competitors. if you take away the competition you'd have what we have now, stagnant monopolies

"what has even gotten humanity to this point has been our cooperative abilities."
fuck how could i forget about this. Thank you socialism for electricity, the automobile, the telephone, the personal computer, yada yada yada.. so glad we have been working together this whole time in the interest of humanity to uplift the people and smash the Masters...
sorry for only reading pop airport magazine store books, next time i read i will make sure to read harvard smarty books like you!

i'm interested in the liberty of every single person in the world including people i hate... economic liberty and social liberty are not two different things, they are linked, we should be free to associate and do business with whom we choose and say whatever we want, as long as it does not encroach upon the liberties of someone else-->that's the recipe for the fairest system we are capable of creating and for the most prosperity, now stop dropping acid and go do your homework!

human nature... look up tragedy of the commons. read blank slate by steven pinker. i make $30,000/year and i have no assets, accusing me of being an elitist is a little confusing. we don't need to meet up, you already hammered me for about an hour on facebook and the conclusion i came to is that you need to do less drugs and maybe read more. in a free market, profits and losses are equally important--bailing out businesses, allowing lobbyists, these are perversions of free market capitalism...

"We need to learn to make sharing work" <-- that's your main problem here. You think it's possible to change human nature. You probably think the problem is with greedy industrialists who don't care about the common man, but ironically, The Great Unwashed who can barely spell their own name or pull up their own pants are even more disinterested in your utopian bullshit, all they care about is NFL and free food. The only people who want the world to be one big commune are your college peers.

they tried this "everybody is equal and should share" stuff in soviet russia and it was disastrous... corrupt officials only concerned with covering their own asses, warehouses full of rotting grain.. economics is more complex than "we all need to share" vs. "i want to keep what's mine"... you can't encourage innovation without incentive (which is profit). the prospect of making a profit is the prime motivator for people to strive and toil and make something that benefits society

Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell... required reading for you sir

yea, darsh, the free market. The book is 20 bucks and it puts in layman's terms how markets function. It shows, very clearly, with examples, that individuals freely associating will always beat the prescriptions of a central czar or price committee or whatever. I agree it would be nice if everything were free but socialism has already been tried in many flavors. At best, it seems like it can work in small, ethnically homogeneous countries where people give a shit about their country... (cont)

...and at worst it leads to gross inefficiency, famine, poverty, waste, restriction on civil liberties, etc etc etc. I get that youre young and idealistic but you need to read some books instead of just thinking of "the way everything should be, according to me"... you probably havent read the communist manifesto you just have some vague Daily Show notion that we should all be sharing and that industry is evil. Industry is the reason you have a dope phone, a cool car, and cheap food
