So it works great under an iron fist control system?

Not even that good it turns out with the iron fist.

Bingo!

Ideally a benevolent dictator would rule.

We have too many unearned "Rights" that the princes and princesses would not give up.

Even a benevolent dictator would have to suppress them and there would be blood in the streets.

Would you want a benevolent dictator if he had your protesting brat shot in the street?

Just remove the unruly 2 year olds until there's none left. Then the gun holder gets to keep all the jellybeans.

A good book to read in this line of thought is "Investment Biker" by Jim Rogers. His travels thru countries with depressed economies was very interesting.

That‘s the thing, in a kibbutz people opt in to the system and can leave if they want to, in a country you have no choice. Big difference.

Very equally if I stand over them with a shotgun and hand them out.

Probably not for 2 year olds - the more aggressive will be shouting they want to be shot first.

I think your point is that Communism devolves then relies on Totalitarianism to keep it rolling.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland has been quiet up until now. There's been plenty of call for the Department of Justice to act.

He is speaking up. He is not happy.

What's interesting ... and perhaps telling ... is that I am watching his speech live on the English-language feed of DW News (from Germany).
