I fixed our last dryer with a 12 dollar belt. It took about an hour and most of that was cleaning lint out of it. Lasted a couple more years.

Reminds me of comic books. Comic books had a boom, with some selling multiple versions of the same issue with different covers "for collectors" and enthusiasts snapped them all up, kept them safe, stored them in plastic, went out of their way to make sure their collections were complete, only to fall on hard times and find out their collections were worth a fraction of what they spent on them when they tried to sell. Turns out that the Early Spiderman or Superman comics were worth alot of money because most printed copies ended up in the trash creating scarcity.

"Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out." --George Carlin

Fun is a Leftist conspiracy to distract you from producing more for your bosses at work

It doesn't need to be equally. Some people wanna distribute based on need. And some people think if you work extra, you should get a little extra in return.

Money not controlled by anyone has historically been stores of value used in barter rather than money used for retail purchases as we understand it. Even precious metal coins.

Not a huge difference when it comes to the communism most people are familiar with. Look at the Soviet Union and tell me Corporate and State power wasn't merged.

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini

Although along those lines, The Soviet Union (ie Bolshevism) was alot more fascist than many Leftists are willing to admit.

Most Americans confuse "communist" with "Bolshevik".
