WTF? Herbert Hoover 2.0?

But if you’re advocating the ‘redistribution of wealth’ you are a communist.

For a current reference - Google/News: Columbia/Chavez/Nationalization for an education. ;)

If you cant beat them, call them a communist.

I'm gonna do the "Im not a Communist" song-and-dance only one more time.

Look...take a deep breath. I'm not calling you a communist...but there are timeless principles of socialism based in what Marx taught and all I'm saying is that those principles are not irrelevant simply because they occurred nearly two centuries ago.
The crazy thing about socialism that you don't seem to get is that the only methods by which it can occur are ones that soicalists abhor. It's a pipe dream

So I'll ask again why a study from the 1800's isn't relevant?

I think people that use that phrase are even dumber than communists. Wealth is not 'distributed', hence it cannot be 're-distributed.'

If wealth is indeed 'distributed', I'd like someone to direct me to the nearest Wealth Distribution Center since nobody has ever distributed me a single penny. I've had to work for the money I have.

In your case Blinky, if you can't beat them (which happens almost daily here), change the subject and deflect the argument away from the topic.
