There IS no difference. But that's the point. Such a society is not better than the liberal-Democratic society; it is far, far worse and a real pain to have to live in. Again though, having a deed is a government program, only available in civilizations, not in your animal social-darwinist barbarism.

Quote:When I read Marx he defined personal property as petit property (or petty property), but it's really just an arbitrary difference of scale that's not clearly defined and a way for Marxists to move the goalposts and say "you can keep this, but we get to take this away from you".

"Property is theft." That's at least as valid a statement as yours: "taxes are theft."

I'm no Marxist, but I do prefer the mixed economy to the libertarian one.
