okay, all i hear is "im a tool and bush rools."
omigawd, jay kay, i lurve you mikey.
as much as I'd like to say that that isnt true, it is to some extent, tho if we were all living in the same conditions (communism!) the problem would be clearly visible, nature or nurture.
But it's proven that its easier to change one self rather than the environment, so we all have to keep fucking eachother til we're all the same color.
(same reason terraforming mars is unconventional, it'd be easier to teach humans to breath methane, benzene, CO, and the small amount of O2 in the air there.)

That still doesn't change that there is absolutely zero evidence that communism is a viable alternative to capitalism, and that a socialist 'government' is a viable alternative to a democratic republic. On the other hand, there is a host of evidence that capitalism and democratic republics are fine selections of government and economy. Though, in regards to your comment, you'd be hard pressed to find the republic anywhere outside the walls or Rome, despite the vastness of the empire. You'd also be hard pressed to find democracy anywhere outside of Athens, despite the vastness of that empire. Conversely, the entirety of the Soviet Union had the same structure... no part any better than the other. The same can be said for China, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and Juische Korea.

Thats like saying (if it were 70 ad) that since christians keep getting fed to lions that its not going to catch on. and to promote it at all would be a complete waste of time. (fun factoid: the image of christ was in many ways inspired by the image of zeus)
Btw, you completely missed my point about bob dylan, you should be ashamed and should commit seppuku immidiatly.
