    Sorry, I know I posted this before, but I think the following addresses what you want, in part:

    google news

    It's algorithm based news, conglomerated from 4,000 news services world wide.

    So communism is a contrivance but capitalism isn't?

    Nah. These are both human-devised-and-run *systems*. Neither system is more 'natural' than the other.

    That email is rediculous. We warned Japan about nuking them before we did it and they didn't surrender. That was Japan's fault.

    Thank you for pointing out that they're both human-devised systems, dimsie. I think we're all very aware of that. The difference is that capitalism is the natural derivative of people trying to make a living for themselves, while communism is the perversion of every instinct therein.

    Communism is an artifice, a contrivance. That's why it's a dismal failure everywhere it's tried. Not because goshdarnit, those crazy Bolsheviks just didn't understand Marx or get it right. But because communism runs counter to human nature.
