The problem with communism is that it’s evil.It’s time to break up @Apple’s smartphone monopoly.

This almost doesn’t need to be said. Communism seeks to transform human nature, to make us “unhuman” (if I may coin a phrase). Its adherents are willing to commit torture and murder on an industrial scale in order to realize its impossible, utopian vision. It is, essentially, the equivalent of a slot machine which you feed human lives into in the hopes that you’ll hit the jackpot, even though the jackpot never comes.
But aside from its obvious evil, there’s another problem with communism: by necessity, it is viciously, unimaginably petty. And yes, this is a necessity. When the entire basis of your ideology is the government centrally planning who gets what resource, down to the last thumbtack, pettiness is the inevitable conclusion. Which may explain the existence of one Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
