As for the starvation point, I will forgive your ignorance as you do come from a country which contributes about 90 per cent of the obeast people for that statistic (not a real stat), but you have completely missed the point - if we have enough food to have more obeast people than starving people, why is anyone starving and why are both the USA and the UK only three days from starvation at any given time?

Communism has been attempted. Revolutions have failed in their attempts to start true communist states. I understand what you're saying, Fared. You don't need to repeat yourself. They tend to create authoritarian regimes promising to dissolve the government in some way or another then don't actually do that.
Grim would agree with me on this point - revolutionary communism doesn't work.
I feel sorry for starving people. I do. But what I'd have to do to help them would hurt far too many people. Some people must be sacrificed. Rather than victims, I see them as heroes. It is because of them that I may sustain the life I wish for.
