        Reading an actual book on economics makes it impossible for a benevolent individual to be a communist, at least without a physically painful amount of cognitive dissonance.

        Do you feel angry or depressed often? It’s cognitive dissonance. ;)

          Oh, you sound really informed on this. What books of marxist economics have you read to come to this conclusion? What theory of subjective value based economics books?

          I mean, I’ve just spent over a decade studying various schools of economics, maybe you have much more insight than me on this topic.
