   It's ALL "usury" - always HAS been. IMHO it
   always WILL be, depending on yer chosen defs.

   To GET stuff you have to DO stuff - for somebody
   or some org. THEY have to do stuff, for somebody,
   to keep whatever endeavor going.

   The Marxist FANTASY of everybody getting all they
   want for "free" regardless ... Harry Potter is
   more plausible.

   Note that even China is now basically CAPITALIST.
   They kinda TRIED it Mao's way - and it SUCKED,
   indeed killed upteen millions. A giant clusterfuck.
   When optimistic theory meets hard reality, guess
   which wins ?
