don't know why you're being downvoted - guess being sane and actually using your brain for figuring out stuff from first principles instead of political axioms isn't fashionable. perhaps never was.

i just wanted to add that the poor don't eat the rich when they have nothing to eat. they do it much sooner, when they notice that the rich eat better and better and the quality of their food increases way quicker than theirs. that's when the biggest revolutions happen, anyway.

(guess what - i actually live in a post-communist country, too. most people here probably have no idea what they're talking about when they say communism.)
