Many people talk of how communism is a “noble concept” but that it can’t work. We are told how people have suffered under communism - the intellectuals and artists who were allegedly targeted and killed in mao’s cultural revolution for example, the tens of millions of ukrainians murdered by stalin, …

Your claim that Jon was misusing “natural” did not answer the notion that costs are an inherent part to human action which was the thrust of his statement. “When did ‘paying’ become ‘natural’, i.e. part of ‘nature’? I wasn’t aware that non-sentient life forms had established trade or currency.” O…

Game, set, and match for me, sunshine. You just don’t like it when someone dismisses you, do you? You can’t believe that anyone would do that to you, so you keep responding, hoping that your existence will be validated. How sad. Now then, given your sophist nonsense and prediliction for prevarica…

A) There is an entire blue planet called “Earth” in which animals and humans live on which disproves this argument. Trade exists in all living breathing animals. It’s just as natural for monkey’s and squirrels as it is for humans. B) Trade exists in the absence of others. You do not need two or mo…

The first party has to demand that the second party sign a contract to allow the first party to beat the second party up, before it can become THAT boring.

Jon, I think Knight just debunked you.[:P]

But by your own admission, survive they did. Well no, without interource the species dies, the same cannot be said of trade. Trade is something we have developed as a means of simplifying the process of obtaining what we desire. It is natural, in the sense that Jon is trying to peddle, but by the…

Certainly one must exert effort, but that is a rather disengenous use of the word ‘payment’ in the orginional context it was used back at the beginning of this thread. And if you recall the origional discussion was about the commodification of water, and yet it does just fall out of the sky. And ha…

Of course the natural-artificial divide, valued by some people, has always led to these kind of absurd conclusions, 'What people make simply isn’t natural." Yes by interpretation this denotes humans are such perverted abominations upon this pristine earth. It’s a dead end. Time to re-evaluate your …
