  • Your mortgage payment can often be cheaper than your rent payments. If your waiting until the rates drop, you’ll be in an insane amount of competition to get a property.

    If you buy now, you can then refinance at a later date and get literally $100k’s off your mortgage. The downside is that your gambling on interest rates dropping.

    Communism inevitably will always lead to dictatorship and totalitarianism.

    In order to become a communist state, you have to: 1.) Get a bit army or group of people to enforce the upcoming rules. 2.) Force people to get rid of private ownership or threaten them to give it up. This will piss a lot of people off. 3.) Get rid of them if they don’t. This will piss a lot of people off. 4.) Realize that you’ve pissed a lot of people off, and that your the only power in the land, you definitely don’t want to give this up. 5.) Enact a single party system…oh, fuck…

    Communism doesn’t work on a large-scale, and it’s not sustainable. By it’s very nature it’s extremely prone to abuse, and fundamentally impossible to install any sort of checks and balances on a single party-system. Look how bad it is with a two-party system in the US.
