"Private property would basically be banned..."
And it could only serve to speed the revolution if misguided Leftist twit Jay Rockefeller (Sen R-WV) were to get his way by having the FCC take Fox News (and MSNBC) off the air because they're making his job difficult... or something [clip -here-].
But somebody should have told this lib genius -who harbors an irrepressible urge to intervene in what kind of discourse may reach Americans' tender, impressionable ears- that beside the appalling Constitutional implications here, cable networks are not "on the air" anyway- the FCC has no jurisdiction over cable programming, although not for lack of trying... maybe he just can blame his glaring ignorance on some hapless staffer.
Friedrich Engels:
" The slave frees himself when, of all the relations of private property, he abolishes only the relation of slavery and thereby becomes a proletarian; the proletarian can free himself only by abolishing private property in general." (1847)
"Not only can we manage very well without the interference of the capitalist class in the great industries of the country, but their interference is becoming more and more a nuisance." (1881)
"...youth has never before flocked to our colours in such numbers, ... in the end, one will be found among us who will prove that the sword of enthusiasm is just as good as the sword of genius." (1841)
"The worst thing that can befall a leader of an extreme party is to be compelled to take over a government in an epoch when the movement is not yet ripe for the domination of the class which he represents and for the realisation of the measures which that domination would imply ..." (1850)
