Abolishing the class system isn't about negating individual differences, but about making sure that everyone is treated fairly and not for some people have an huge unfair advantage at the expense of everyone else because they were born rich or because they have an powerful benefactor etc.

And if you look at the actual consumption then these people that are advantaged by the class system are also those that by far have the largest environmental impact. The problem of "lower classes raising and consuming more" is in reality an impossibility as there are not sufficient resources for all of them to have the kind of environmental impact a few unfairly claim for themselves right now.

I hate communism more than almost anything else. I hate conglomerates, too, for the same reason - you both believe in "might makes right". The individual is and always will be the smallest minority. Whether you bully with your money or with the masses, the result is the same: you thinking your way is better and therefore forcing everyone else to do as you say. If that is done in a small group, you'd call that bullying or, at least, inconsiderate or rude. I guess i really just hate bullies.

I don't, and I never said so anywhere. But I am starting to think that it is pointless to discuss this with you are you have obviously a very wrong idea about communism and are not willing to educate yourself about it.

I am certainly not open to communism.
