    What other purpose does production have but to be consumed - political persuasion, social standing, religion etc etc of the consumer should not relative!

    The main reason people queued up to immigrate to communist Germany.

    You mean they shouldn't preclude consumption?

    Obviously, as long as the consumer can pay the producer for the product.

    Of course in this perfect system with these systems, even though everyone's equal, some are just more equal than others comrade.
    But everyone's equal.

    Will they? You mean the guy who imports TV's won't have a say in who gets what? I'm sure all of his rich mates will get the goods before the poor. You do likes your fear porn though eh.

    Well it would be a level field. When the poor people earned enough to pay the same as everyone else.

    Oh aye, not that they had a monopoly on hypocrisy, but the ideology is certainly based on saying one thing and doing another.

    What, he gets to dictate who buys his TVs now?

    News to me, I thought the only barrier to buying stuff was earning enough to afford it.

    Wouldn't that be more about opportunity rather than consumption - consumption would then have become a bi-product of opportunity - wouldn't it? (just thinking)

    Why not. Free will and a free market n all that.

    Buying stuff? Short memory much

    Idealists miss the reality of situations....it sounds good on paper, but that's the same thing money is printed on
