We're always going to end up with people who can manipulate a crowd being in charge. We're stupid like that.

This is what I always find amusing about the Communist argument.

Like, the elected politicians and bureaucracy can't be trusted enough to regulate industry under capitalism so we'll centralize things and then trust them to regulate industry under Communism?

Edit: whoof, should've thought about human nature when I dared to criticize communism. Almost lime there is another lesson somehwere there.

so, it's the goddamn weekend. How does everyone have so much free time this late on a Saturday? I'll do my best to get back to y'all on a dirty capitalist's time slot.

Literally read State and Revolution by Lenin which talks about how people assume the state has a neutral character, but actually it has a class character reflecting who it is designed to serve.
