He had Hillary coming in at 71.4%. If he was off by 15 points with Hillary, then Trump might be at 63.8 + 15.0 = 78.8% I don't think Trump will reach 80%, but possibly. Who wants to be under Communism? About 20% of us. ------------------- Pareto principle . . . The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few"). . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle ------------------ |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 3716 | I asked Brave's browser "Is Marxism Communism?" ------------------ Marxism vs Communism Distinction Based on the provided search results, here’s a concise answer: Marxism and Communism are closely related but distinct concepts. Marxism is a theoretical framework developed by Karl Marx, encompassing his critique of capitalism, class struggle, and the inevitability of a proletarian revolution. It includes his ideas on socialism and communism as a future state. Communism, on the other hand, refers specifically to a societal system where the means of production are collectively owned, and resources are distributed based on need rather than market principles. Communism aims to eliminate class distinctions, private property, and the state. While Marxism provides the theoretical foundation for understanding and critiquing capitalism, and ultimately, the goal of achieving a communist society, not all Marxist theories necessarily lead to a communist system. Marxism-Leninism, for instance, has been used to justify authoritarian communist states, whereas libertarian communism seeks a decentralized, stateless, and voluntary communist society. In summary: Marxism is a theoretical framework that critiques capitalism and predicts a proletarian revolution, potentially leading to a communist society. Communism is a specific socioeconomic system characterized by collective ownership of the means of production and the elimination of class distinctions. Marxism is not communism itself, but rather a theoretical foundation for understanding and striving towards communism. -------------------- |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 3716 | Since Harris is Haitian, I wonder if she ate pets. :) If so, how do you think she'd cook him/her for her husband? For example, would she put curry on a duck from a local pond? Seriously, did Harris inject those 20,000 Haitians in a small town because she's Haitian? |

TY. I've learned through grace to not fear much but I use faith. I think of faith and fear being the same thing, just opposite aspects. One is positive and one negative. |
