And how do you figure that. What about non-privatized property (be that business, energy, farm, or home) and equal distribution of assets creates "freedom"?

Who said anything about equal distribution of assets? Not Marx.And how do you figure that. What about non-privatized property (be that business, energy, farm, or home) and equal distribution of assets creates "freedom"?
He didn't call for the abolition of private property in general. Only bourgeois property, ie property associated with the means of production or property used for economic rents.So where am I wrong?
We would still have a market for trading commodities.I appreciate the candor. What would it look like here, and what makes you confident it would bring true liberty to the masses, when it hasn't yet?I cannot. It hasn't yet happened.Could you provide an example of this happening somewhere else?.Socialism (Marxism) will bring true liberty to the masses.

Are you kidding? This is what happens when the rich take over our government.Of course the rogue media branch of government isn't going to devote much ink to it, because they are the defenders and promoters of not only socialism, but marxism as well.
The family demanded a proof of life video, after the Venzuelan opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez, was severely beaten for refusing to issue a statement begging protesters to stop protesting. In case you live under a rock, Venezuela has been destroyed by socialism and now the people are protesting and starving in the streets, following government seizure of resources and food.
The proof of life video does not show Lopez. It shows a really muscular young dude. Lopez was beaten severely after he refused to speak, and was suffering abdominal injuries.

Mexicans don't come here for health care. They come here because capitalism has destroyed their own way of life in Mexico.No you would have a /temporary/ market for traded commodities - give it a few years and the lack of innovation inherent in your system and you'll be living in the technological third world. Ya know, those fly-over states yea?
No you would have a bunch of forced drones who become increasingly unhappy with the frugality of mere "existence" and desire /more/ of the lifestyle and technology that capitalists have.
Sure, no government, anarchy right? Guarantee you someone decides they are superior and tries to take over - these folks usually succeed because they can play the same song and dance the folks who convinced you you wanted to be a Marxist did. Then you'll have some form of dictatorship - like has happened 99.9% of the time in socialism.
Only way you can reduce crime is through a small population. I suppose you could also say that the folks trying to escape your forced labor camps are not "criminal" per say...
Yeah, because the Mexican's would go eewwww those poor bastards have zero opportunity. Oh wait, no, they'd come for the same reason they do now - to use our "free" health care. Although that'd be really interesting to see what a bunch of immigrants would do to your perfect little society. I bet you'd end up with a slave-esk system because folks from other countries are way more industrious than Americans, you'd have /them/ doing all the work while the American's slacked off - and then America could have a second civil war over slavery heh

NAFTABullshit.
NAFTA allowed big ag to set up shop in Mexico. That destroyed the rural farming communities in Mexico. People who lose their only means of economic subsistence start looking for options. The promise of work in a country looking for cheap labor, America.NAFTA is a trade agreement that agrees to lower tariffs between the US, Mexico, and Canada. It doesn't encourage migration.
If you want to pick just one thing that "destroyed Mexican's lives" then you have to with a /human/ - who decided to sell off the nation to the drug lords for money. Not for "capitalism" son, but for human nature, that greed I was talking about earlier. Or you could argue they flee despotism...
