          When your base position is “blow everything up” then there not much argument or discussion to be had. We fundamentally disagree on first principles so any discussion will be spent taking past each other.

          As for my comment above, it was reductive and juvenile, but it was directly in response to a reductive and juvenile proposition (blow the entire system up). I will not spend time discussing why that particular position is harmful and absurd.

      The current order, to which you mean the freely elected representation of the public. Maybe the people will rise up and then we can have a dictator be even worse as what always occurs in any communist system. That is because every communist system doesn’t get rid of the root of the problem, money and ownership. All it ever does is allow the powerful to take everything and leave nothing for the rest. See the USSR, North Korea, and China. Humans suck and communism is not the answer. The answer is a well-regulated free market system that rewards success, taxes the wealthy and provides for those in need. I think we will see that transition in the next 30 years in the United States, but the wealthy will be kicking and screaming the whole way as they lose power.
