The majority of people locked up behind bars are there for serving nonviolent offenses, primarily drug possession charges. How dare you pass judgement on these people as "scum" and "trash" ! I am amazed by people who are able to completely condemn others with little or no self-reflection.

little or no self reflexion my ass, I grew up in a barrio. Where did you? Was it a nice WHITE neighborhood? Where there pushers on your street corner?

Since you like stats and self-reflexion and studying so much here is some sites.

Hate to break it to you, but Marxism and communism are not the same thing. Communism/communalism is not anything new. If you want evidence of it in literature, look at the bible. The orginators of communism were ancient Africans, whom we all descend from. communism = getting in touch with our roots, common humanity and common decency.

A contains B, but B does not contain A. Do I care?.
Keep your books and utopian theories; show me current working models and pratical solutions. Didn’t these ancient individuals engage in intertribal warfare, So much for your common humanity and decency theory.
