I'm just gonna go ahead and call bullshit.

Saying private property is just an extension of existence and control over your own body is a flawed precept to base this argument on.

Private property rights = liberty.

communism works if you're a member of a primitive hunter-gatherer tribe.

In every other form of society it fails.

I'm gonna go a head and call this Total Bullshit

This a barely veiled far right libertarian using this as a way to try attack the Obama administration.

The Criticism of 20th Century Communism is fair - but the praise and butt licking of free market business is totally blind to what America has become. The constant reference to the government intervention being the cause for all problems - and then showing Obama over and over is just stupid.

Everything that is wrong with America can traced over and over again to large corporations Lobbying the government to stack the dice so they can make profit at other peoples expense.

Obama didn't cause the financial crisis. Bush did. For 8 years he trusting free markets and businesses to 'do what's right' without government legislation.

This is along the lines of saying "if only govt would get out the way of Haliburton, the world would be a better place"

It's irritating that you don't know a goddamn thing.. and that that doesn't bother you in the slightest.

Who owns the planet? No one.
From what source do you derive all your private property? The fucking planet.

See how this works. No you don't.

Property is a privilege granted by the means to enforce it. There is no such thing as property "rights." None of us labored to produce the Earth, and thus we are all its rightful heirs.

I find it easiest to enforce my fair use of those scarce resources when I respect others' similar claims to those same resources. It's the swindlers that scream "contract... contract..." when they think they can profit by irreparably altering our common inheritance. Look at those that fight hardest to protect their rights to property, and you'll be staring at the people who've stolen the most.

Corporations are a big problem, and they have NOTHING to do with free markets. We haven't had free markets in at least 100 years, and it's the corporations that've lobbied to create it that way. You're being sold this lie that free markets and deregulation has created the US's ills, which is nonsense.

Government and corporations are the problem. Here's a neat piece of insight: without government, you wouldn't have corporations. Think on that.
