See mashy, this is the sort of head in sand fuckwittery that will bring your communist system down in short order.

Boiled cabbage for everyone!

I'm sure I saw bacon on his shopping list.

[mashman]

Yes, yes I'm afraid that producing very little and then expecting other people to subsidise your choice does indeed make you a parasite.

And claiming that you have more right to decide what other people do with their earnings most certainly makes you a communist.

All you can hope to preserve from your unfortunate, anti-social and hugely embarrassing behaviour is that if you keep the whining to a minimum the more important contributors to society might not notice you there in the gutter.

I produce happiness.

There would be no earnings.

@anti-social.

Money is simply the unit of measuring negative entropy, as valued by the majority of society.

Sure is, with capitalism you get to choose bacon! With communism it is boiled cabbage or the gulag.

I do a very good line in widespread macro-entropic services at very reasonable prices, but I assure you the market for making good shit out of fuck all is far more in demand, and far, far more profitable.

Good job a Resource Based Economy isn't communism.

bwaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa... that fulla has talent, and even if it did tick some communistic boxes, it'll be tickin plenty of others on the capitalism list too. Ooo, ooo, it's so confusing how to label it, erm, I know, let's label it, a resource Based Economy.

Not all of them no, but the one you're proposing certainly is.

I thought you weren't concerned about labels anyway

Marx also detailed the 10 essential tenets of communism, namely:
Central banking system
Government controlled education
Government controlled labor
Government ownership of transportation and communication vehicles
Government ownership of agricultural means and factories
Total abolition of private property
Property rights confiscation
Heavy income tax on everyone
Elimination of rights of inheritance
Regional planning

What is the difference again? That you 'government' is said to consist of 'everyone'?

Marx also detailed the 10 essential tenets of communism, namely:
Central banking system: A necessity in any financial system. It'd be madness to allow banks to create money from nothing.
Government controlled education: Facilitated, not controlled
Government controlled labor: Facilitated, not controlled
Government ownership of transportation and communication vehicles: Facilitated, not controlled
Government ownership of agricultural means and factories: Facilitated, not controlled
Total abolition of private property: I've never stated that
Property rights confiscation: I've never state that
Heavy income tax on everyone: I never stated that
Elimination of rights of inheritance: I never stated that
Regional planning: Facilitated, but not controlled by the government

Massive difference. The govt will eventually consist of everyone... and some capitalist protesters.

[Ocean1]

Massive difference. The govt will eventually consist of everyone... and some capitalist protesters.

But in the meantime the govt will consist of you and your mates?

Totalitarian states have a bad record of pretty much everything. Think we'll stick with democracy tah.

So apart from some semantics with the definition of the 'govt' it is communism; just as I thought, I'll continue to use the term I think.

So you're saying that there will be no democracy, because I've never stated that.

Cool.
