Anyone who would post as fucked up a post as that one, Grok...and speak of someone else's ignorance...is beyond imagination. Thank you for doing it. I needed a great laugh to start this day.

I did not know that, but that's before the French Revolution and IS a French name.
They are, though, Matt.
You MAGA people are just so fucked up, thinking reasonably is impossible for you.

Do walk me through that logic pretzel you just made, Frankie.
Something that never was. Actually "nationhood" also ceases to exist in that dream state. In the real "Communist" world of The Soviet Union, for example, the state certainly existed as did the notion that private property did not.
It is not a logic pretzel except to someone who refuses to see the damage Trump and the MAGA morons are doing to America. Attempting to circumvent that refusal on the part of MAGA morons is futile...and considering my agreement with the adage that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"...I simply do not do that.Do walk me through that logic pretzel you just made, Frankie.
Walk yourself through it...if you can.
Yet, another blast of uneducated ignorance from the JPP left.
Try actual history.
Try actual 5th grade spelling.
At least 4 spelling errors in a post calling someone else ignorant!
I agree Communism never reached its ultimate goal.
Socialism has never led to Communism. I am glad to see you idiots admitting they are two different things.
Your comment being in reply to mine I wonder among which "idiots" am I included.
My bad, I was replying to the kooks, of which you are not one.

Which will become more evident as it becomes more a loss leader as time goes on. It already spends twice as much as it takes in with taxes. This is getting worse.
Medicaid for illegal immigrants and phony "doctors".
I just saw the statistics in MN.
80% of all two parent Somali households are getting some form of government assistance.
89% of single parent Somali households are getting some form of government asssistance.
Even if those numbers are overstated by 50%, it is still a staggering number for one race.

Money is not wealth, Pretender.
Money is just a representation of what you can buy or sell (a medium of exchange) and a unit of account (you can set a price).
Wealth is food, housing, the computer you are using right now, the water you drink, etc.
The stuff people buy to use.
You can barter for it, or you can use money as an intermediary to barter for it.
People use money so they can convert what they have (pigs, labor, house, etc) for something else, even if the seller doesn't necessarily need what you have directly. They want what someone else has, and like you, use money as an intermediary to buy it instead of going through the threee-way direct barter.
But it's still barter. Just a more convenient form of it.
The dollar is just a piece of paper at best (most of it is just bits in a computer). If people stop accepting that currency, it becomes worthless.
Don't think it's already happening?
In 1900, a dollar was worth 1/20th of oz of gold.
Today is it only worth 1/209th of an oz of the same gold.
It is the same kind of thing with silver, wheat, gasoline, or any other commodity.
The ONLY thing that makes it tolerable at all is more efficient production of that commodity (why food is basically still pretty damn cheap).
Inflation hits everyone. you, businesses, government...everyone.
And in the end the only way the government can try to keep the party going is to print MORE money without an increase in wealth, causing MORE inflation...a self defeating spiral.
This is how currencies fail, Pretender.
Already people are looking around for another currency...Bitcoin, gold, silver, SDR, etc. In the end I think a return to gold and silver will occur, but the US government is in extremely poor position to attempt it themselves.

No, Pretender. Communism is government ownership of markets.
No, Pretender. Communism is based on theft of wealth. It CAUSES poverty.
It is the government and 'the Elite' that become wealthy by stealing it.
