Stoller :
As I said here, the MAJORITY of people must want socialism before it can happen. Only the MINORITY (cancer cells) will be treated with force. The socialism that the majority wants will be 'implemented' by majority rule (which, admittedly, is called 'force' by those in the minority who are sore losers).

: People cannot be given ability to vote away other people's rights. Barry, if ever your little brand of socialism takes root, it will be a dark day for mankind. In fact, I can smell the crematoriums of your "Job rotating workers paradise" already.

What a hysterical and inaccurate post.

'People cannot be given ability to vote away other people's rights' indeed.

In the work place, workers don't get to vote AT ALL on ANYTHING.

Boards of directors---usually unseen men in tall, skyscraper suites and tinted-glass limousines---get to 'vote' all the time.

Among the things they 'vote' on are whether or not to: fire thousands of American workers in order to move factories overseas where labor costs but pennies a day; install safety features on their products or (after some cost-effectiveness legerdemain) simply write off the probable wrongful death suits that arise from their shoddy design; conceal facts from consumers (tobacco); and (last but certainly not least) pollute the air and water that everyone breathes and drinks.

These 'votes' are taken EVERY DAY BY MINORITIES.

So your bleeding heart liberal imitation is not exactly fooling me.

As an Ayn Rand supporter, I know that you champion the 'rights' of the minority (capitalists) to override the concerns of the majority.

Which---as Hitler pointed out here---is fully compatible with CAPITALISM.

And---for fuck's sake---how could job rotation of the entire state apparatus lead to crematoria? Who would vote today today to kill themselves tomorrow? Have you taken leave of your senses?
