104. I got the "communist" thing too.

Mon Oct 14, 2013, 03:21 PM

Oct 2013

I don't have a problem with it, except the land ownership thing. I sure don't think capitalism is doing much for most of us nowadays anyhow. About the land ownership thing, I just finally got my little hovel in a jungle paid off and love trying to be a good steward of the jungle and this little hovel. I enjoy the place too much to give it up. So, that part of communism would definitely NOT work for me. That capitalism run rampant (profits over people, the rich feeding off the poor like bloodsuckers, people working full time and still needing to get on food stamps just to survive because we have no living wage, etc), which seems to be the state of capitalism today, has not been good for a lot of people. That would be the most accurate opinion I could express of it as of right now.
