re: #73 Aceofwhat?

‘getting government out of the way’ is not synonymous with abolishing government, unless one is radically libertarian, anarchist, or…you. it means to eliminate unnecessary regulation (not all regulation is unnecessary).

but allow me to retort. if government is the pathway to success, why does communism fail in such spectacular and predictable fashion?

Perhaps because every communist system that has existed has been little better than an oligarchy draped in red cloth?
