Yup, you want other people's money. Why am I not surprised?
What happens when you run out of it?

The reason that communism doesn't work is the totalitarian nature of it, in the economy as well as the government. Capitalism needs built-in factors in order to survive. Planned obsolescence being one of them. Capitalism needs perpetual demand for product. How do you make sure this happens? You plan for obsolescence and you make people believe they need more than they actually do. You're watching it happen right now. Millions upon millions of people all across this country are in debt up to their goddamn eyeballs because they were convinced, through advertising, that they needed things they didn't actually need. You would rather be part of a system that plays you for a fool than part of a system that produces for use, like socialism. Capitalism creates this fake need to attain more and more shit. And it never ends, because profit drives it all. While you're busy keeping up with the Joneses, the CEOs are busy accumulating more and more wealth. Where does it end...
