Considering that I am a person that believes in Capitalism and Conservatism I post this question:
Is there a difference between Communism and Barterism? What I mean is IF Obama is elected I am sure (and very afraid) that Socialism, Marxism, Communism, whatever you want to call it, will become a reality. Thus, for the real world solution to this coming crisis will the Barter system be the equivalency to Communism? Is there a difference between ‘from each according to his ability to each according to his need’ and ‘I will do —THIS— for you if you do —THIS— for me?
Most of my skills are Computer Technician related. I am sure that Obama will eliminate my business. I am willing to do what I can for others that have what I will need. Is Communism/Socialism/Marxism where I do nothing to gain what I need from those that have? Or is it truly ‘from each according to his ability...’
No offense, but you must be a more recent public school product.
