given the company you keep, mao tse tung, stalin, pot pot and other
well know lefties such as castro and hitler I am not surprised you want
to distance yourself from the tag. but the reality is you share the same
underlying premise, that the individual is subordinate to the collective.

I think it does. you are always willing to sacrifice other people
freedoms for your views of what is "good" for the collective, which of
course you are uniquely placed to determine.

in this instance the same proposition applies. secondary market in your
and other commies estimations are "bad" for the "collective" as
determined by what criteria you happen to set (god only know what they
are) and the liberty to sell a licence should be curtailed to make you feel
better and cohere your world views.
