    What a poser.
    He didn't live with wealthy parents...he lived with ONE parent (his mother), and rarely saw his father. He faced massive prejudice as a high schooler from teachers and students alike. Don't portray him as an average kid with a cushy upbringing.

      ...Holdon,

      He was shown prejudice as a highschooler so he turns into a Marxist? I'll stand corrected about his upbringing; I heard that from a secondary source so I probably shouldn't have even metioned it but I'd think that being prejudiced against would cause him to become a civil-rights person, not a marxist.

      I honestly think you've got to be an idiot if you think Communism can work. You're trying to build a marble statue out of feces.


      Hence my opinion on DelaRocha (...that's his name, right?)

      Anyway, that's not really what this thread is about so without furthur ado:

      I 'still don't like AudioSlave.

        joey, i dont know if you're a religious man, but if you have ever read the new testament, communism can work.

        however, on a large scale in this day and age, it isn't very practical.

          My point exactly. I believe in small rurual farming communities they had "Collectives" and it actually worked out that way in small groups.

          What happens to the government in a communist state is it faces diseconomies of scale; The "Company," in this case the government, gets too big for it's own good. There's buerocracy and red tape killing efficiency of the "Company." That's why a lot of the larger corporations downsize from time to time.

          Not to mention that if you were paid the same to do a hard job or an easy job, which would you do? What if a janitor was paid the same as a doctor, but being a doctor requires 10 years of post-primary education? All of the higher-education jobs lose most of their incentive: Money.

          The reason capitalism works is because the driving force behind it is not Equality or Compassion for your fellow man/country, it's greed. As harsh as that sounds, that's the way it works and it's (IMO) the only way it's going to work.

          And yes, I am a christian, so I do believe in an eternal "Communism" if that's what you want to call it
