Communism is the only way forward. Why not spread the wealth around?

I am a member of the Rhinoceros Party in Canada. You might ask why because I am an American, but that is the entire point of the Rhinoceros Party, from what I understand.

I don't think its that simple. Selfishness should have consumed a capitalist society by now based on the criteria you have put forward. We're still around.

So you support your own annexation? It would be fun for us to have the American Territory!

I am more interested in going to war with Belgium than the annexation.

Those Belgians are so damned evil. I also want to discover the fate of Lecks

No more Belgium, no more EU. I think that alone can get us massive support for future conquests.


We don't refer to them as conquests, we refer to them as "Re-acquisitions" Article 9000 of the new Canadian Imperial Constitution guarantees all land on Earth's surface as Canadian property. Thus our military actions are merely returning this property to our direct administration

What's wrong with the Belgians? And which ones - the Flemish, German speakers, or Walloons?

"Beware Greeks bearing gifts" said Laocoön. In this case, the Greeks are Belgians, the gifts are sumptuous Belgian beer and chocolate, and Laocoön is me

Hey! That was settled when the Belgians gave mussels to the Rhinoceros Party!

I don't think its that simple. Selfishness should have consumed a capitalist society by now based on the criteria you have put forward. We're still around.

IMHO the biggest problem of all with communism is its a static system - it can't react to problems. Even if you have something that's more like fascism you still have no scientific method involved in meeting supply and demand, a handful of people still aren't intelligent enough to react to every foreseeable problem the way a bunch of people with no association and entrepreneurial ideas can, and in essence central planning puts a responsibility on a handful of detatched people that's far too vast an order for them to ever fill.
