What is the logical outcome of Barack Obama's philosophy: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that! Somebody else made that happen!"?
The good news is, we don't have to guess. At the heart of Marxist-Lenninist theory is "egalitarianism": the idea that free markets unfairly and unevenly distribute wealth in a society, thus requiring the state to seize the wealth and effect a more even distribution.

But if the society can be convinced that wealth really belongs to all members in equal measure, regardless of contribution, then the Marxist-Lenninists will have the critical mass for their revolution.
The bad news is, the revolution has always been bloody and has never produced anything except egalitarian misery.
