This article is frankly, awful.

here are some gems:

"Karl Marx summed up Communism as “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” This is a good, pithy saying, which, in practice, has succeeded in bringing, upon those under its sway, misery, poverty, rape, torture, slavery, and death."

"It is not the constitutional prerogative of the Government to determine needs. One person may need (or want) more leisure, another more work; one more adventure, another more security, and so on. It is this diversity that makes a country, indeed a state, a city, a church, or a family, healthy. “One-size-fits-all,” and that size determined by the State has a name, and that name is “slavery.”"

how did this guy get so right wing?

1. David Mamet went off the rails several years ago.

Probably too much coke back in the 80's. And too much money at the turn of the century.

2. Became right wing when started messing with guns and reading the Gungeon.

3. And he was a big ol' homophobe long before he became a brain dead tea bag.

4. Mamet had really changed.

He was a lot different many years ago.
