Communism works the same way, except the party leaders are the ones on top

Therefore the best system is the one that directly rewards the most horridly destructively greedy assholes around without the slightest obligation toward the rest of society!

I refuse to believe that someone who calls me 'captain smug' is seriously interested in my opinion.

Fair enough, so without any name calling, please name some of those alternatives you mentioned.

you can either have private jackasses own everything like petty kings of their little financial fiefdoms, or you can have capital be socially owned and operated without the explicit need for next quarter profit seeking, those are your fucking choices you nerd
