" it would be complete free market capitalism with zero rules and regulations that way there is no limit on how much wealth they can accumulate"

 

so people can challenge them through working hard?

and if its free market what is stopping the other individuals in the society from working hard and gaining their own piece of the wealth of the nation?

 

"that way there is no limit on how much wealth they can accumulate"

 

if the elite are the ones running the communist system which inevitably happens why would they limit themselves? does it not occur to you that someone has to be at the head of the communist system? why would that person put limitations on themself?

 

what really happens is that the limitations of the communist system all fall on the regular people of the society and they are used to funnel resources back to the elite, which is the reason for the communist system to start with... its like what happened under the monarchies of the past to the peasants

 

"how much they can screw over people that make a whole lot less then they do."

 

how can they screw over people under a free market where there are no restrictions? can you explain that?

I guess you are  totally clueless when it comes to economics even with restrictiond poor people get screwed over by having to pay higher insterests on loans and other such thinks.  Without any restrictions the rates would be even higher for poor people.

 

" even with restrictiond poor people get screwed over by having to pay higher insterests on loans and other such thinks.  Without any restrictions the rates would be even higher for poor people."

 

under a free market if there are areas where a particular service is overpriced the likelihood is high that a competitor can arise and offer that service at a better price 

 

but lets leave that for a second - under a communist regime why do you assume that you won't be taxed or charged at higher rates? what is stopping those in charge from doing so? are you aware of the taxes the peasants of the past had to put up with?

 

what a silly argument to raise lol

 

i mean you said yourself that the communist regimes of the past had few rich people... why do you think that is? think about it lol
