    You're saying if we have this one thing, then we must have everything else that Communism has.
    no I'm saying if we have that one thing it is communism.

    by which I mean government forcing the redistribution of wealth. The only way they can do this has confiscating it. and when you put the power to decide how much is too much and the hands of a government they get to decide if you have too much.

    I'm happier with the fact that bezos has hundreds of billions of dollars. if you're giving the power to the government to steal that from him also entitled to the government to steal from me and it does.

    I'm simply not that jealous.
    That's Hitler Ate Sugar. If we do this one thing, eat sugar, then we're LITERALLY HITLER.
    Okay Hitler wasn't bad because he ate sugar. Hitler was bad because he exterminated the Jews if somebody else who was diabetic or vegan are decided to exterminate Jews I would say they're like Hitler.

    government confiscating wealth to distributed as they see fit is communism by definition. If they get to decide how much wealth you have explain how that's not communism?

    If we do the one thing that defines an economy as communism then yes we're communists. This isn't eating allegorical to eating sugar.

    FWIW, I'm as guilty of being a flaming asshole as those who blame all Boomers for our nations problems. As "Arks&sparka" has well displayed, Millennials are not stupid, they're as smart as any other generation, some wiser than others, some not so much.

    The fact remains, we're all human and our species has progressed best when all of us progress.
    The "kids" who rage on about Boomers make me smile. There were quite a few of us Boomers who did the same thing at our parents' generation. Mostly I think it's an excuse to blame someone else for your own personal fuck-ups.

    In the 1950s and 60s we bitched too, but we did stuff. You mentioned progress. Here is some: We bitched about discrimination, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 began to address that. We bitched about elders dying because they didn't have insurance: Medicare/medicaid. We bitched about women's rights: Well, we tried with the ERA, and even though it never passed things are far better for women now. We bitched about the filthy environment: The EPA was created in 1970.

    So let the "kids" bitch. If it's that bad, they'll do something about it, whatever "it" is.

    So you responded so you clearly still want my help and if you disagree you need to practice your reading comprehension.

    Yeah I have nerve thanks for the compliment. It takes nerve to slap sense into people. Thank goodness for people with a nerve.

    I take this as admiration. You're saying that I'm not too cowardly to State what I believe. A point that I take pride in.

    So gracious of you thanks.

    The USA is a dying Empire.
    All the signs are there.

    I can't do anything about that.
    Far too many ignorant & weak people here.

    I can however move away.
    To a country like Poland, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Czech Rep.

    One which isn't wasted

    That is my backup plan.

    . you keep running away from debate points.

    Because you are a dishonest cretin.

    Who'd rather just call everyone a failure & loser.

    I actually agree on both counts.

    Why I support the hybrid system.


    PS.
    Stalin mass murdered true.

    So has the Capitalist USA & British Empire.

    I'm tempted to say Soviets did better overall for long term society.

    ONLY because dumb Western Capitalists have poisoned our societies with Multiculturalism.
    I know you're a millennial Man baby for laying around crying about it.

    Again who is to blame is only important to people who have nothing else to do. And the only boomers I would blame are your parents.

    I don't know that communism devalues labor it confiscates labor. Your labor is no longer yours.

    Socialism is a stepping stone toward communism so if you say that it's bad but you're pushing for the stepping stone towards you're a hypocrite.

    Okay all economic systems have had mass murder. Just one system allows for winners and the other insures everyone is a loser.

    you made me starving to death but at least you're equal. That's all that matters right.

    Then you don't know much about Communism. In order for a system to be Communism, it has to have at least two features. Communal ownership of the means of production and no government.
    All of the most successful countries have some form of wealth redistribution, mostly through social programs, and none of them have Communism.
    Needless to say, you can't even have forced redistribution by the government in a communist society, since communist societies don't have a government.

    Okay Hitler wasn't bad because he ate sugar. Hitler was bad because he exterminated the Jews if somebody else who was diabetic or vegan are decided to exterminate Jews I would say they're like Hitler.
    Yes, that's what makes it a fallacy.

    Its not Communism why Millennials make 20% less at the same age as Boomers.

    Its Capitalist greed.

    Its not Communism which Spawned American Mulitculturalism.

    Its Capitalist greed.

    Sort out your own sorry falling apart society first.

    I'm glad you still want help.

    You were just talking about me and I'm flattered that you think that much of me. Thanks for the compliments. But don't get any ideas.

    Further I've addressed every one of your debate points if there's one I have it I would be more than happy to address it. if it's when you keep making and I've addressed it once I've already addressed it once and I'm not going to do it again.

    If my counterpoint was inadequate Express that it was an adequate like an adult and maybe I will give you the time of day but I don't reward childish behavior. That's called enabling.

    If all your life you've just been able to stomp your feet and throw a little tantrum and get your way you need to learn the tats not how you get your way in society. Good thing you said you loved so much but have no real understanding of.

    claims made without evidence are dismissed without evidence.

    It's not capitalism. Are you dressed your point exactly as much evidence as you presented it.

    So don't accuse me of not addressing this point.

    Something isn't true just because you say it is I'm not your mommy I'm not going to believe everything you say. Do you have to present evidence to support your claims.

    Millennials DO MAKE 20% less as Boomers did at the same age.

    Which can only be Capitalism.
    In a Capitalist society.

    As I said fix your own failing society first.
