they had a way of circumventing (via the phone password), and in fact, they may be using my social networks right now.

@loco

the thief has access to your gmail account? They knew the passcode or had a way to bypass it?

That is SERIOUS, it is worse than them just selling it for parts or resetting the phone to use it.

-->
@RationalMadman

It would be possible if the thief in question had not deleted my account (I use gmail for this site).

-->
@loco

While that is terrible, you can try and access the email elsewhere.

Sorry to hear it, hopefully you can afford one soon,

my cell phone was stolen, so I lost my original account, and I can no longer debate.

"If 'works' means that the workers seizing the means of production leads to the economic power of the nation reducing, this happens each and every time."

I MADE A MISTAKE IT IS OBVIOUS PLEASE

I meant to say that if 'doesn't work' means that... I'll explain in next round...

Please, it's really obvious I meant the opposite to what I said when saying 'this happens each and every time.' I didn't mean that it works every time, I meant the literal opposite, I apologise for my miswording.

@Intelligence_06

what generated decline in that case was the war, not the economic system.

"works: does not generate economic decrease."

The Soviets, in the 20's, still had economic decrease due to war, despite prospering to a degree. There is no system that does not generate decrease.
There is no system that never generates decrease. If it is one, then it means it has never been used ever.
