- good point

- How do you mean?
  
  Ayn Rand birth name was Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, which probably wouldn't sit well with the target audience of her books.

This got a snort out of me.

I mean it's true... this is why communism always fails. Humans are too greedy.
- A defining feature of capitalism is the constant oscillation between boom and crash.
  
  A defining feature of communism is its failure to manifest. For the record, I do support many socialist policies, it's just fun to rain on the commie circle jerk.
- Imagine being such an utter ignoramus to believe that communism fails.
  
  I mean... historically, it's really good at one thing... failing. And being a disguise to seat dictators.
- Ah yes, thousands of years of the best and brightest minds trying to figure out what human nature really is and you’ve figured it out! Congratulations! What journal did you publish your findings in? What did you base your conclusions on, vibes?
- Men are not good enough for Communism, but are they good enough for Capitalism? If all men were good-hearted, kind, and just, they would never exploit one another, although possessing the means of doing so. With such men the private ownership of capital would be no danger. The capitalist would hasten to share his profits with the workers, and the best remunerated workers with those suffering from occasional causes. If men were provident they would not produce velvet and articles of luxury while food is wanted in cottages: they would not build palaces as long as there are slums.
- Communism always fails except for when it doesn't, which is every time.
- Lol.
  Suggest you read Mutual Aid, a Factor in Evolution, and kill the capitalist in your head.
- Irrefutable evidence that you are wrong, behold!
