^^ Exactly. I publicly challenge anyone to name a country that used communism where the standards of living of all its peoples can be called excellent.
Take what you need = You'll take what I tell you you need. Remember the soviet shoe lines? You got a pair of shoes, any size, and you traded until you got some your size. Thats why no one except the deciders had shoes that fit.
Give what you can = give everything and more. Mothers turn in children, children sacrifice brothers and sisters, wives and husbands worship the government. One false move and we re-educate you.
There is not one person on this board that has actually lived in a communist country as an adult.
Look folks, we all know the powerful people will do anything to keep us working for them as slaves our whole lives. It really is just the method they use. Capitalism takes advantage of the 1 in 1000 that have brains. Communism takes advantage of the 1 in 10 that are sociopaths.
