How so?

He violated the 29th Amendment severely

How? That amendment gives the federal government the right to regulate food, drugs, and agriculture, I don't see how this applies.

I know, so I gave a suitable response. The 29th Amendment really does do that....in Germany.

Communism has never been put into practice.

anyway, as you guys well know, after getting banned from twitter following january 6, trump has taken to his own blog to shitpost about his stolen election, among other things

this day was yet another day of his endless trolling of decent americans (unlike him, abysmal as he is) -- but i'd like to draw attention to his part of his tirade in particular:

The Old Crow also allowed a breaking up of the filibuster, which allows the Democrats now to establish precedent for changing the number of Justices on the Supreme Court and, perhaps most importantly of all, a so-called Voting Rights Bill, which will make it almost impossible for Republicans to get elected in the future.

"the old crow", by the way, is mitch mcconnell

setting aside my own personal thoughts about putting even more perfidious trumpsters in power, and the fact that in the abovequoted as well as elsewhere, he's upset mitch apparently won't destroy the united states on trump's behalf, which "so-called voting rights bill" is he talking about?

In the way it was originally envisioned he is right. True communism doesn’t work.

Name for me a single stateless, moneyless, classless society where private ownership over the means of production and society's resource was completely abolished.

Communism has never been put into practice.

And it never will. It is impossible and requires all humans to be good, which is impossible.

[Diahon]

Name for me a single stateless, moneyless, classless society where private ownership over the means of production and society's resource was completely abolished.

and that's the reason why it will never be put into practice -- not even human opposition, but human nature

mandating that all of humanity act on strict standards of selfless behavior all the time is simply not achievable, never mind sustainable, even setting aside whether or not such a society would be good to have to begin with

You just claimed a few posts ago that it has been put in practice, and its results justify it being an insult in your view.

I don’t think any communist party in the world advocated pure communism. The only country in Europe to elect one into power was Moldova and they were more conservative on social issues.

Human nature is neither good nor evil, it is neutral and it is adaptable. Capitalism teaches and rewards selfishness, greed, competitive behavior, status-seeking behavior, etc... and punishes deviance from that behavior, so humans living under capitalism adapt to behave that way leading to the perception that human nature is selfish, greedy, competitive, etc... when it isn't, it has been molded to be that way.

people claimed the deformed regimes sprouting up across the third world and elsewhere to be communism, and they're right -- those are communist regimes, in practice

hopelessly authoritarian, nightmarishly brutal on everyone who strays out of line, crass in its use of human potential if that potential was merely of the ordinary sort, and heedlessly wasteful and inefficient economically, even as the merely ambulatory pursued maximal production
