You are producing a wheel according to another concept, but the concept is not derived from experience but from the understanding, although it could be said that the choice of which concept to use could depend in part on experience, and in part on your motivation to perfect the wheel, however as...

Experience does not produce concepts. Right after this famous quote, Kant says "The former supposition does not hold in respect of the categories (nor of pure sensible intuition); for since they are a priori concepts, and therefore independent of experience, the ascription to them of an...

God is rational. He does what he wants. You loosers have one thing in common - no good reason, you do what you do not want - its nonsensical and absurd, but you do it anyway, you preverted irrational beings.

E Rules: node potential = 2 x Circle count + circle count of each adjacent node connected with an arc with a black dot on its side. algorithm picks adjacent node with least potential, and cannot pick a node twice. Nodes with their potential: A 1 B 4 C 3 D 6 E 2 F 4 G 1 I 0 J 0 K 1 H 4...

So how would you define fairness?

Yes, but as such it cannot exist without government, which is by definition state controlled.

Perhaps not, but I happen to use that definition. You asked what people think it means, so I responded with what I think it is, not what you think it is.

That doesn't sound like communism to me, because that would imply that people get private property in the end.

That's not communism then. Communism is shared property, shared by all members of the state, everyone has a say in it. If that doesn't hold then its something else.

I disagree. Nope, according to www.webster-dictionary.org: A political body, or body politic; the whole body of people who are united under one government, whatever may be the form of the government; a nation. Any form of government is valid, not only oligarchy.

That's a different issue. As far as I can remember I only once said that If its necessary that only a few people control the state then it follows that communism is impossible, and don't remember you explaining why not. Now I wouldn't call this a state but it would be in principle the same thing.

I neither recall you ever explaining it to me, nor that I have made that statement before. Care to refresh my memory? Why would I be? I disagree. I don't have a problem with that.

Basically that would mean that communism is impossible and that all states are necessarily oligarchies. A communal space without no state control is also a contradiction in terms. The state equals its population. If its communal then it belongs to the entire population i.e. the state.

If a few people control the state then its not communism but oligarchy. I think thats a contradiction in terms.

If you haven't noticed, I didn't ask any questions. Property laws aren't inherently communistic because everyone does not necessarily have a say in it.

the state consists of its members, and everyone refers to them.

If it is communal property then everyone should have a say in it, i.e. the entire state. The state controls all property.

Communal ownership is state control. If I can't do what I want with my property, then its because someone else has a say in it. In communism it is the rest of the state thus state control.

Jesus told us to love your enemies. :amen: :clap:

I'm using XP (opera and IE both displayed no icones) anyways the problem seems to have solved itself somehow :)
