Government isn't a "small business,"
Duh. Are you dull, boy?
Perhaps Comrade, yet I still outsmart you by a wide margin.
Your little Bolshevik buddy has it right though, (even a stopped clock..) the real change in our world is automation.
We stand at a time when all the lies you Communists have told for centuries is an actual possibility. Automation is capable, as we speak, of providing the world where utterly no one is deprived of a decent lifestyle. It is this which you of the left fight so diligently to prevent. Without a permanent underclass, your power is lost. Without an ignorant population who are too busy surviving to pay attention to the kleprocracy you promote, you cannot continue to rule as a privileged Oligarchy.
The goal of socialism is not to create equality, quite the opposite. Socialism ensures a permanent underclass and a persistent ruling caste. The goal, the absolute and immutable fact of socialism is to create permanent inequality.
{
- There are only four ways in which a ruling class can fall from power. Either it is conquered from without, or it governs so inefficiently that the masses are stirred to revolt, or it allows a strong and discontented Middle Group to come into being, or it loses its own self-confidence and willingness to govern. These causes do not operate singly, and as a rule all four of them are present in some degree. A ruling class which could guard against all of them would remain in -power permanently. Ultimately the determining factor is the mental attitude of the ruling class itself.} - George Orwell
