Owning a 401k makes someone a mini landlord and communists should be honest about this fact.

Yes they're making us all landlords. Yes they're making us choose between being a mini landlord and having less money.

But that's what a 401k is. Even if you have an index fund. If you follow the stocks long enough you are bound to end at some form of rent or exploited wage. It's just what it is.

I match my employers 401k. I have money in a 401k. I'm a mini landlord and I hate it.

"If you feel discouraged about it. If you feel...defeated and all those things; feel bad. It's okay. Feel discouraged; feel disgusted; feel defeated. Feel that for awhile, and then get back up and start fighting again. It's not because it's a good idea. It's not because it would make a better world. It's because we have to. It's out of necessity. It's for our survival. It's for the survival of real democracy, which they are nibbling away at and cutting back at with all sorts of repressive laws. And it's for the very survival of the Earth itself.

I have a friend who...had a neck problem. He went to an acupuncturist. And the Chinese acupuncturist put a needle in his wrist. Put one in his leg. And he said: 'Wait a minute - I don't get the connection. I got a neck--neck is hurting me and you're putting a needle in my arm and in my leg. What's the connection?' And the Chinese acupuncturist said: 'Whole body connected, take a look.' You know, that typical Chinese gentle contempt for the Western idiocy.

And so what we gotta say: 'Whole society connected; take a look.' 'Whole universe connected; take a look.' It's our universe, and we have got to fight to keep it."

I saw them perform live on that tour and it was stuffed to the brim with talking about how great the troops are

The statement was with respect to "one man" owning everything on the earth, and whether there is a law that would stop this. And there is such a law.

Antitrust laws don't prevent capitalism or the violence it causes. I was just responding to your point about there being some sort of natural or legal conclusion to capitalism where one guy owns everything. That conclusion is easily avoidable and was considered over 100 years ago when they passed the first antitrust laws to prevent the railroads from owning everything etc. Your post didn't seem to consider antitrust laws.

What prevents capitalism from accomplishing this in law?

Antitrust laws accomplish this in law
