It was a joke. What did Justin say the joke was - "in capitalism man exploits man, and in communism its just the opposite". Stop trying to tell me what I meant. I wasn't attacking the left - I wasn't saying anyone is being disengenuous (well, except you now). I made a joke. Maybe a poor one, but it wasn't an attack.
I'm sorry I didn't "get" Gordon's comment the way you explain it above. Well you didn't "get" mine, so can we please move on now?
