Wow, you really don't pay much attention to what is said in the discussion you are pretending to follow, do you chuckles?

Lenin may have accelerated it, but eventually someone would have taken advantage of people being forced to live outside of human nature.

Right.

So, then, you propose that it's 'human nature' to stand out at the street waving a big sign and acting goofy to promote whatever pizza joint or phone service at the storefront of the parking lot?

Anyone who presents facts is "off his meds."

That explains a lot.

Take another Ambien and leave the adults alone, here.

People being hired to dance like a fool on the sidewalk while waving a big sign for their employer is a fact. This is not unique to one city.

But while we're at it, I have nothing to 'show' for dullwits who deny reality in the first place.

I just present facts, sorry if you can't handle it.

I don't run. I ride a very nice bike all over the place. While you waddle to the refrigerator, and muddle your way through various and sundry incoherent mental meanderings in like fashion.

Look to North Korea, the USSR.

neither of those is communist, they are both examples of totalitarian fascistic state capitalist societies.

Another question could be, is the current American system sustainable indefinitely?

No. Every exploitative system eventually reaches the point of no return, when the exploited masses rise up and overthrow the exploiting few. Of course, all that they actually achieve is a brief respite and then a new exploitative class begins the cycle all over again.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

One of the main problems with our current system in the states, is the fact there is almost no "safety" net for many people.

For those seriously struggling but still in the middle or lower middle class, assistance for adults that don't have dependents {one of my main pet peeves}, those that work and can't afford to put a roof over their heads, SAFE basic shelter for those that are homeless, affordable housing, and more programs, housing and assistance for lower income seniors, etc.

I don't 'believe' such a thing. I just go by experience with other keyboard-styled self-imagined braveheart warriors.

Mental weaklings display themselves, no need for 'extra powers' to see it. Just a decent set of ears can hear such braying as yours from a far distance.

setting aside for a moment marini the debate as to who is most responsible for a "safety net"---oneself, friends, family and local communities, or the state & federal governments, im really hard pressed to believe you think we're greatly lacking in that area.

We are ALL entitled to our points of view.
I have paid taxes all of my life, and I have an issue with the government only helping some, when all of us might need assistance in our lives.
If I follow your reasoning, there should be NO assistance to anyone.

The United States helps people all over the world, including sending money to rich nations, and I have to see veterans begging on the streets, people working full time and can't afford anywhere to live, people working hard every day and running out of food.
I could go on and on.

Whatever bounty, whatever
