No, he's correct, it matters."Leeches", idiot.As far as I'm concerned, you are the leaches.

You are leeching off of the society we built, and unfairly so.As far as I'm concerned, you are the leaches.I won't move because this is my country, not yours.Shut the fuck up.
You won't go because you know communism is a fucked up system.
Here we are freer than Venezuela, so you can still find supermarkets full of foodstuffs.
The host belongs to the leaches, eh?
When you take our money, it's because we are leaches? You don't grasp how the leach thing works, do you?
Your rationalization is noted. How about respecting the language no matter where it is used? What a concept, eh?So proper English usage doesn't matter to you? Got it.It's, annoying. And it makes you look even more stupid.Its really got you upset, doesn't it?
How stupid on a scale of 1 to grammar and spell checking the internet?
To give you the serious answer, I don't make a lot of grammar mistakes. I write for a living, I'm a business guy. I make almost none when I write for real. I write so much I write in most grammar correctly the first time. When I'm writing for work I read it and spot them right away. But internet posts? I write the posts and click unless I want to go back and read what I said. If I do, I would always spot them. But when I don't, some get by. I make an effort, but I don't worry about the occasional mistake. You've read so many of my posts and you're so anal about grammar that you should already know that. This is like the second time you did that. Then I kept doing it to annoy you.
The only time I point out grammar mistakes are when people call someone stupid and they have obvious grammar mistakes in their post. Anytime I call someone stupid, I do read the post before I click...for that reason.

I grew up hearing stories from my grandmother of life under Stalin. I grew up hearing dad tell me about the Holodomor and the disappearances. Throughout school we learned all about their antics wherever they ruled, from the Bolsheviks' bank robberies to the oppression and paranoia of the USSR years to the various tinpot dictators who used it to gain power for themselves. I read about John Birch (the man, not the society that appropriated his name) and Joe McCarthy. I read about the Rosenbaums and Jim Jones. The more I learn about it, its doctrines, and its history, the more convinced I am that it's one of those few ideologies that could truly be called dangerous in their own right.
And yet people still defend it. Even today, after the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall are dust and tatters. After the KGB infiltration of Western liberalism and academia is public knowledge. After the grudging vindication of McCarthy. After people are free to talk about what they lived through without the certain knowledge that the state saw and heard all. We still, still have people insisting that "it wasn't really all that bad" and "we should just give it a chance" and "well capitalism is still worse because it's evil".
Do people just not realize what they're supporting? Do they honestly believe the things they're saying? I don't get it. I never have. It's like reading Qur'an and calling it a message of peace.
Most posters at USMB love for taxpayers and producers to
1- feed them
2- insure them
3- clothe them
4- educate them
5- quench their thirst
7- invade every country on the face of mother earth

Ha ha. Funny guy.No, he's correct, it matters."Leeches", idiot.As far as I'm concerned, you are the leaches.

Hence my observation you to need lives
Would think every political/governmental system has its' pluses, even communism. Free healthcare springs readily to mind. Our US military has commie-healthcare does it not?
There's no such thing as "free healthcare," and that includes the military.
Sure there is. I never paid for healthcare in the Navy. Maybe you paid my bill, but it was free for ME.
I do, if that's what they do, but for the most part they aren't paying their way. They very often don't watn to pay for what makes that kind of commerce possible.Your rationalization is noted.

What about respecting the people who fund our government and provide jobs?
Utopias don't work, and an Adam Smith version of capitalism is based on a town where if you make poor decisions your kids don't eat and if you piss everyone off neither do you. That brings clarity to the mind.Was it a communist system or one that called itself communist? Has any nation actually practiced Marx, if not why not?How many people posting here have actually lived under a communist system?
They didn't know they were practicing 'Marxism' but yes, this country tried it. Both the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies started out with Marxist systems--everybody would share and share alike in the available tools, would place all produce in a common storehouse, and each would take what he needed. They damn near all starved to death.
It was only when each person was assigned his own plot of land to farm and was allowed to keep and use or barter what he produced that the colonies began to prosper.

In all likelyhood, only Marx himself practised Marxism. As with our own "democracy" we only say it's a democracy. In point of fact we're a Federal Republic. Not any kind of democracy. But then I don't think anyone is any more. Think large-scale democracies would be incredibly impractical - can't grind everything to a halt for votes on every little thing.

I don't recall anything in any of his writings that what Adam Smith proposed was utopia. What Adam Smith proposed was liberty to look to one's own self interests, and by doing so you will invariably be of benefit to others who are also looking to their own self interests.
"No society can be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable."--Adam Smith
"To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections constitute the perfection of human nature."--Adam Smith
Smith not only wrote that, but he lived it by his own life and example. A wealthy man in his day, he gave away most of what he had to the less fortunate. But like all who understood the core principles of what we call classical liberalism, he also understood that the greatest gift we can give to the poor is opportunity and incentive to become unpoor. And that is not accomplished via government charity.

If you actually believe the crap you wrote, it's clear why people still support something as evil and unsustainable as communism.
No, most don't want nanny government to do everything for them. Your post is further indication that the left really does want to lure people into dependency in order to bring down capitalism. I see they have you firmly behind them. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that others want to run to gubmint for all their needs. I think most still know they can do better for themselves than government ever can.
Communism is the moral ideal, if only they can find the right "formula"....lol
