  1. one problem is that we have people promoting and perpetuating the lie that the soviets and Chinese were and are socialists. THEY WEREN'T - not even close. we got morons propagating the lie that the Nazi's were socialist! I just responded to a moron who said corporatism is socialism! yet all these same people support and defend precisely what their complaining about. they defend the elite, the accumulation of wealth, strong govt in the form of "tough-guy" leaders. their misrepresenting themselves and the anti-fascists who see through them and oppose them! they're purposely causing confusion and divisions so the elite maintain power! its called "fire-hosing" and this is just a PART of the "newspeak" and corruption we're up against. how do you fight a lie when people haven't the intelligence, the education or insight to recognize a lie?

  2. +cool... I was just thinking about accumulation limits myself just earlier today. I was thinking we should NOT limit profits just the amount of profit any individual or business could keep. all profits that exceed a certain amount, say $50 million, would go back to the society that helped produce those profits. put it all into a general fund - 10% would go to the govt and the rest would be evenly shared among the adult citizens or households. at the end of each tear the ENTIRE nation would receive a christmas bonus of equal value! the rich couldn't complain because they'd stay rich and we'd all benefit from the economic success of our country. of course this is a capitalist solution which is the point! there are MANY capitalist solutions but capitalism itself seems to vilify any attempts at reform. but it is an interesting thought though isn't it?
