Historian George Langdon argues that the condition of early Plymouth was not “communism” but “an extreme form of exploitative capitalism in which all the fruits of men’s labor were shipped across the seas.”

Uhhhhhh....exactly how is that different from Communism.

No matter. I'm stealing it. From now on, Communism = Exploitative Capitalism.

Just as Urkel is engaging in Crony Socialism.

The Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod in November 1620

The Mayflower blundered into Cape Cod after getting lost on their way to ... Virginia.

Knowing that the fruits of his labor would benefit his own family and dependents,...

That's why communism only works in small groups where everybody know each other and layabouts are not tolerated.
On a larger scale, too many are slinking away from work, only to be seen at feeding time.
Applied to a whole country or world, failure is inevitable.

And the scum in the Kelo decision negated this blessing of private property.

“common ownership” — or the reality that it describes, which isn’t common “ownership” at all, is onerous. so is the inevitable concentration of wealth in relatively few hands that laissez faire inevitably brings about.
