I'm not communist, but I'm certainly left-wing, I believe in humanism and solidarity.

You should go check out some communist propaganda sometime. Look at the words they use. Solidarity is one of them.

You have to get rid of the belief that everyone is working unless they're lazy. Most unemployed are so not because they're lazy but because there simply is no work for them to do.

You're wrong to assume that I believe those who are unemployed are lazy.

Most people who are unemployed are unemployed because the job they would have doesn't exist.

The reason jobs don't exist is because our government sucks up massive amounts of the economy.

That means there's less money to be invested in growth which creates jobs. Personal taxes do this too-- less money means less spending which means less demand.

And these people are what it's all about, they have no income and wouldn't get hurt by higher taxes.

That's the basic economic error. You say they're not lazy and I agree with you. Which means they want work but there aren't enough jobs.

Why are there not enough jobs? High taxes, and inflation which is a hidden tax.

So, they are hurt by high taxes.

I understand economics, I understand that the current system isn't working any longer in this modern world. Something you aparently fail to do.

Communists were saying exactly that in the 1900s. Also in the 1850s.

Always, those who want to enslave everybody claim that their motivation is the desire to help them.

Don't fall for it.

The reason things are failing now is directly attributable to government regulation. Governemnt regulation caused the housing crisis. Caused the energy crises, caused the housing boom, caused the dotcom boom.

But the more you guys destroy people's lives, the more you blame a lack of power to destroy people's lives as the cause of the problem!

Sorry, Reichwingers

Love the hitler reference. I've spent a lot of time living in Germany and studying the Nazi era. You should do so as well. The Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party (AKA "NAZI Party") was not exactly a pro-capitalist organization.

Fascism is the situation where the economy is ostensibly private but is under dictatorial control over the government. This is what you have with Obama appointing the head of GM or taking over their bankruptcy to make sure his political allies made out like bandits, etc.

A history lesson would serve you well.
