American Communism seeks to take wealth from the workers ?
Question by ifoyo: American Communism seeks to take wealth from the workers ?
And give it to the non-workers. Originally, it was to give wealth to the workers. In America, the workers have benefited by the labor unions, and now have enough wealth that the non-workers want it.
Is this acceptable to the workers? Or will THEY revolt?
Joey, you have a good mind.
A great discussion.
Socialism, communism seem to be best suited for ants and bees. Individuals of those hives are unrecognizable one from the other.
Humans bring so many variables, it impossible to imagine fitting them all into one mold without a huge eruption of violence.

Communism assumes that if the state owns all the resources and it is held as common stock and a few enlightened people control the resources they will equitably distribute the resources controlled by them. For that we have to assume that the people entrusted with the responsibility to control the resources will by some magic become as capable as Gods and will somehow understand and foresee the requirements of every individual and weigh it with unerring judgment and distribute the resources in proportion to each individuals need in proportion to the total individual needs and the available resources. Capitalism assumes that no man is God and the only person who can assess your requirements is only YOU and that only by mutual consent should people relate with one another. Capitalism requires the individual, when he associates with any group, to assert his will over that of the group in all matters, and associate with the group only on specific issues and not based on abject surrender of his mind, his will to the group ethos. Each individual should retain control of their mind, and reject surrender of any of the controls of our life to any group formed in the name of whatsoever entity or intent. Pure capitalism does not permit even a democratically elected government to steal or limit an individual’s right or to enslave him except legally, when it is proved beyond doubt that he has committed a crime. All other systems like monarchy, dictatorship, socialism, mixture economy, or communism, are based on appropriation of an individual’s right at the whim of the group leadership, and will eventually lead to fanatical group-ism, aggression and ultimately wars and terrorism. Most of the evils commonly blamed on capitalism are created by partial state control or by the so called mixture economy. It is baffling that America which rose to from the ashes of colonial rule and slavery to the pinnacle of world affairs on the wings of Capitalism bringing forth a liberal outlook for humanity, is presently hurtling towards the abyss of socialism seeking to self-immolate, when the rest of the world is looking to shed the shackles of state control for social progress. In the context of one of the cruelest social system ever devised by man called apartheid historian Brian Lapping noted: Capitalists strongly opposed apartheid, and apartheid-ists strongly opposed capitalism.
