The case precedent chain goes something like this:
-Congress can regulate interstate commerce
-Therefore congress can regulate anything that those businesses do
-therefore Congress can regulate anybody who competes with anybody who does interstate commerce
-therefore congress can regulate anything that anybody does, because they could have hired someone to do it who might be from another state
-therefore congress can tell people what medical procedures they must undergo because only congress knows how to keep your employees from spreading
COVID19 to other employees
- and by the way, congress can assign their power over to the executive branch
@Pat Oh wow I didnt know that Biden was the congress now... live and learn.

My favorite quote from the film:
"In their minds it's threatening the game. Really, what it's threatening is their livelihood, their jobs. It's threatening the way that they do things.... Anybody who is not tearing their team down right now and rebuilding it using your model, they're dinosaurs."
@Pat lol, must create a lot of confusion. Usually means "Today I Learned" :)

@freemo I instantly recognized the misaligned right hand there. ;)
@trinsec LOL bonus points for responding to that trainwreck of a typo as if it was perfectly intelligible :)
@trinsec wirjs fir ne,,,
We have in fact tried quite a few flavors of communism. There are atleast 12 or 13 countries I can think of off hand which were non-marxist communisms.
Consider the over 100 different communist countries we have tried over the years, and in many different "flavors" and forms, all of which effectively failing, I think its pretty safe to say its a deadend.
Now if you want to try a non-communist country that you think should be considering communist but isnt because it doesnt meet the definition, then I might be more forgiving in my opinion of that. We would have to discuss the details. But I would never consider those communist myself.
Neither definition is completely limited to the marxist-leninst model, but it will rule out some governments as falling under the definition, and rightfully so.
The thing about definitions is they arent meant to be "rewritten" just because you want something to be communist that isnt. The truth is if the definition doesnt describe something as communist, then it isnt communist, and we shouldnt be rewriting definitions to change that.
Its a semantic discussion, but still an important one. Its why we can actually make useful statements about ommunism and not expect those statements to become useless just because the definition is a moving target. Redefining communism serves no useful purpose as I can see it.
"shared property" is not the definition of communism. Communism is most commonly defined as a system of government where the means of production **and** the means of consumption is controlled.
Contrast this with socialism where only the means of production is controlled.
The definition of "shared property" isnt particularly necessary given the formal definitions.
Me everytime I try to write my letters in calligraphy level quality.
@zleap also valid.
@Hyolobrika Perhaps :) Though if everyone is mature about it then the issue is resolved by just asking and clarifying, just as we did. When people act like adults things tend to resolve themselves fairly well.
@zleap yea very true, and often true of most mainstream media honestly.
