- this is how dumb socialists are, thinking reality is their bitch, remakeable by their whim. Think of Atkins, the poster here. His attitude is exactly the same as Mao's, and if he were in charge, we'd experience exactly the same results: mass poverty, starvation and murder. Here's the commie/Atkins attitude:

Quote:
Bourgeois specialists were excoriated as conservative rightists, while the earthbound wisdom of simple peasants (ie, the chinese equivalent of alabamans) was hailed instead. In Yunnan party boss Xie Fuzhi openly scoffed at geological measurements and technological surveys recommended by Russian experts, relying instead on the wisdom of the masses in building dams and reservoirs. (p.56)
This type of mind thinks everything is easy. Drilling oil? delivering it for $1 gallon? Child's play. If oil or gas or whatever isn't available in the amounts and types I want, that's because "greedy" capitalists are making "obscene" profits. Why, anyone can see that the oil business requires no special brains or knowledge, therefore it is merely a matter of putting the powers of production in the hands of wise leaders, who will set production quotas and prices correctly, leading to White Utopia.

Fools never know they're fools, that's what makes them fools.
