Hooray for Stalinists!  Without them, the streets would be so ..  
ermm .. wait.

There are no streets.  Never mind.

I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your  
newsletter.

Oh, wait.  Nobody wants to write a newsletter.

I'm not rich but I do think you are delusional.  Communism just  
doesn't work.


> Money is a completely unnecessary and irritating middleman.


Just like 'free will' is utterly useless as well.  If I choose to  
reward you for your hard work and efforts by granting you access to a  
piece of paper that you can then use to reward others for their  
efforts, thats my business.  Not anyone elses.

Don't take away my freedom to reward my fellow man!
