To be or not to be That is the question!

[Taors]

Well, considering both are pretty much fundamental to each ideology...

Doesn't a human always have capitol in their labor? So the first choice would be temporary at best.

Yeah.  This silly thought came about to validate the argument that in a free capitalist system one can always work one's way up exchanging value for value, even if you start out wiping some rich sadist's butt for a dollar a day, while in a communist system you need to find others willing to share a "gift economy" with you, which is difficult to do without force.

See, I had an imaginary conversation (I'm insane) with a communist trying to impose her beliefs on others, and I called her "a communist without a commune", to which she replied "I'd rather be that than a capitalist with no capital!"  (Some of the smartest communists I know are figments of my own imagination, especially ones I imagine raping and releasing as restitution for them trying to violently "liberate" my property.)
