This guy is showing us what the literature says on the chicken and the egg, too. Right from the guy who wrote it.Thin grounds? I'm not defining any term. I'm showing you what the literature says, from the guy who wrote it. Other authors have defined socialism and even communism differently. You're free to read them, criticize them, and whatever else all you want. I can claim a communist nation is one of farm animals with pigs in charge, then write about it. But that's not what Marx literature says.
If you talk about communism as defined by Karl Marx, I showed you why the USSR or Mao's China wasn't even close.
What Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?
Araysar, or anyone, really, go read that link and tell me. Does it not remind you of Dumar and Mikhail's arguments in this thread?
I get this super Mikhail/Dumar/Lumie vibe from it.
