I couldn't disagree more. How about we stop trying to run dictatorships all together? No one says we need to flip a light switch and suddenly make the world communist. But there are plenty of communist ideals we can try on under democratic systems. Really easy ones that come to mind are forcing companies to give all employees ownership and/or profit sharing. The world isn't black and white and history isn't an example of every possible path forward

Mandating profit sharing doesn't mean communism

Are you deliberately being dense? I'm talking about keeping within the spirit of the thing as a goal to strive toward

Okay? So what does that actually mean?
