    I overheard one of my coworkers yesterday telling someone else that companies making everything into a subscription service was a result of the country “becoming more communist”. I don’t know where to even begin with that one.

      Socialism is when things get bad and Communism is when they are at their worst.

      Four Legs Good, Two Legs… uh… wait a minute, they’re changing it.

    I still don’t think swinging the pendulum to the opposite side will create anything other than differently colored extremes we will all have to face together.

    That being said, I do wonder how much of the perceived ‘failings’ of socialism by capitalists stem from tumultuous periods in countries where any system would be destined to fail — for reasons inherent to those systems (and therefore easily explained away as ‘socialism bad’ when that fledging system collapses).

    I don’t know, am I wrong?
