lol, politicians in the USA aren’t REAL politicians (cf. non-commercial filesharers aren’t REAL pirates).

These asswipes are bought by the corporations and merely mimic whatever their corporate paymasters require of them. Like the good little puppets they truly are.

Representation of “The People” does NOT equate to the wants and needs of your Corporate Paymasters.

“Let’s use an objectivist argument” he says.
Aaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah ….

What a loser! Dummies like you are more akin to Turkey’s voting for Thanksgivig/Xmas. Or a lemming.

You sir, are part of the problem, not the solution – and you need your Weltanstuung tweaked.

[...] Las acciones de Righthaven demuestran (por enésima vez) la explotación sin sentido en la cual han caído los extremistas del copyright. Este sistema no fue diseñado para que se demande a la sociedad, que por cierto, es gracias a quienes los titulares de derechos tienen el privilegio de monopolizar la explotación de sus obras y beneficiarse. El copyright es una cuestión absolutamente pública, no privada. [...]

It’s a bit broader than that. Copyright exists to protect the artist’s right to control the distribution of his work. The basis for it is the notion that the artist has the right to not only say that he created the work, but to also control the distribution of his work. The essence of copyright is that no one should be able to distribute an artist’s work in any form without his approval.

The problem with communism is that it unjustly compels men to support each other. Generosity may be a virtue, but it is immoral to force it on people. We can demonstrate this with a classic objectivist argument. Say that you are a brilliant man who invents many products that make life easier for everyone around you. Say that I am a shiftless and lazy fool whose only goal is to make it through life on the minimum of effort. Is it just that your work subsidizes my laziness? Is it just if your work subsidizes the laziness of hundreds? Do you not deserve some reward for your work? The most productive members of society should be rewarded, and then be allowed to use their wealth in any way they want. Hopefully they will choose to use it to aid the less fortunate, but forcing them to do so is immoral.

I agree with you that communism is meant to be a government of the people, with no leaders. The only problem is that it is impossible to have no leaders. Communism works only on the assumption that after all of the current leaders are thrown out, no one else will rise to power above his fellow man. There will always be leaders. In communism, a leader will simply proclaim himself as “the voice of the masses” and claim his right to rule based on that. The communist manifesto does not give directions about what to do in this situation. I’d advise reading Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” in order to gain an appreciation for the true failing of a communist system.

Finally, I apologize for the rushed tone here. Got to get to work in a few minutes. Have a good day.
