> but no one is talking about anything that anyone ever called "communism" The quote at the top of this thread that I responded to is: > I know, I know, communism, yada yada. But that's the solution, and it's trivially proven to work > sorry, it's really fucking stupid. Don't do that. This site strives for a higher level of discourse. I would say that what's actually fucking stupid and what should not be done is to: a) lie b) be rude c) be a hypocrite I don't know if Dang watches these threads and I'm generally against hellbanning, yet somehow I wouldn't be bothered for a second if he hellbanned you.

For the record, that was my quote. And it was sarcasm, intended (clearly, I thought) to head off the kind of ridiculous digression about terminology that you dove right into anyway. So you'll have to forgive my profanity. But I stand by it: the idea that Roosevelt et. al. and the mid-century western flirtation with social welfare and redistributable economics constitutes "communism" is really fucking stupid.
