Hi,
Don't know if this was a Seinfeld joke, but if it was, I don't get it:
<disagree>
If it implies that communism is just as bad as dupe/hack-selling or vice versa however, I might say I disagree here. Communism as such is not such a bad thing, it's just idealistic and unrealizable. What made 'communism' appear in a bad light were/are the attempts of some governments to oppressively indoctrinate this system on their state which utterly failed and left a pseudo-communist facade for an authoritarian dictatorship.
</disagree, ignore this if there was nothing to disagree on>
Otherwise well put!
Greetings, Fragbait
