Who is obssessed with what others have and deams about stealing it to punish them for having it, as they were unable to get it themselves?

Talk about envy, covetousness, hatred and self righteousness.

Dear author: please explain how a poor person that burns down the house of a rich person somehow improves his own life.

Thank you for fleshing out my argument, MarkL.

The communists would have us believe that the working man, or "labor" is the man who lifts heavy objects or digs the ditch with the strength of his hands.

They do not believe that a man like Donald Trump, for example, through is machinations, while not of the physical type, creates things. When the Donald is all said and done, there stands a towering skyscraper where nothing existed before it. This in turn enables the effort of others and provides for them, both during and after it's creation.

This, I think, is a small illustration of the non-static nature of labor/capital which you describe and the Marxists refuse to acknowledge.

Good to know this bitter, covetous jackass will never see the riches of life.

It’s unreasonable to think the “rich” will not protect themselves with cameras, firearms, armed security, barbed-wire and ultimately moats and minefields.

This pinhead is incredibly ignorant and stupid. He calls the USA a Democracy yet we are a Constitutional Republic. He then presses on to advocate for the elimination of both the Senate and the Electoral College, which would drag us into a Democracy and lead us into anarchy.

What a moron.

This communist, like all communists, does not understand that capital is the fruit of labor. That without labor, there is no capital. Labor is, in effect, capital. One cannot separate labor from capital, as this clownish fraud seeks to do

My take is that he understands that all too well...And his point is that those doing the labor aren't seeing the capital...

In fact, that's why a lot of people voted for Trump...He recognizes the disparity in capital made and labor suffering...Trump promised more jobs and higher wages...

It's no secret that the Republican Party has always supported and represented Big Business, Big Money, and has never supported labor...But you can bet there are millions of Republicans who ARE labor and know they are getting the short end of the stick...

If all Republicans thought like you guys, Hillary would be the president...

What is fair or just about rewarding sloth with the fruits of another's labor.

That doesn't make any sense...The 'other' laborers who aren't slothful don't get the fruit of their labor either...

If a group of laborers are putting billions of dollars into the pockets of their employers, that shows the obvious value of their labor...And when the employers turn from millionaires to billionaires while the laborers are making less than they did twenty years ago, there's a serious problem...

It is time for polite, respectable, rational people to start saying what has become painfully obvious: It is time to stop respecting the rich, and start stealing from them. In earnest.

Time to make life hard for Hamilton Nolan. It is time to stop respecting Hamilton Nolan, and start stealing from him. In earnest.

Their words are wind.

Our entitlement system (including education) is what crushes the soul of the American Dream.

If you really want to add to the scary, read the replies at the source. Mind-boggling. Like trying to understand a person with a mental disability.

The hilarious thing about that is while the grad-school marxists claim to "dearly love" the laborers, in real life, they disdain and hate those who work physical jobs. They look down upon physical laborers, unlike Conservatives who believe that there is virtue in all work.

Yep. Ain't that the truth.

Well, communism was perpetuated by intellectual eggheads. From it's beginning they have used the lie you just described. We should be grateful that the true working man has finally discovered this fundamental lie, or we wouldn't have the Donald now.

A putrid wind blows is the warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

Inequality is not a crisis.

It’s biology.
