I always wonder how this meme started

u/ZSCroft Oct 02 '16
It stems from a lack if understanding of the differences between personal and private property... I mean me too thanks

Instead of calling it personal property, just call it means of consumption. There is way less misunderstanding

the problem has more to do with what we call private property than what we call personal property though---"private property is theft" creates more issues than the "we're not talking about personal property!" explanation that comes afterwards.

This is what im talking about. This isn't even a communism thing Adam Smith talked about personal property in his works.

Of course. Well since you know so much about this when can I expect to read your book discrediting the past 250 years of economic theory? I'm sure you're working hard on it in between reddit posts and cheeto handfuls right?

u/BlondeFlip staunch marxist Oct 02 '16
Ah yes. Both grandfathers of modern economics agree on the difference between private and personal property, you know better than both of them, right?

American protest singer in the 60s and 70s. Originally was a social democrat, but he became a socialist in 68. A series of shitty things (riots in Chicago, MLK assassination, and the coup in Chile, among other things) sent him into a depression, and he committed suicide in 76.
The FBI's file on him was over 500 pages long and continued to list him as 'potentially dangerous' for several months after his death.

I get the feeling that maybe legit commies are the majority of commentors and ironic commies are the majority of general visitors.

I usually don't comment and I like communism ironically. Like Jessie J.

Proof that the immortal science of dialectical materialism continues to be right every time.

I think the people in the comments are commies and the people upvoting are ironic--but you know what they say, 'the last capitalist will sell you the upvote that hangs them' or whatever.
