someone who thinks that socialism is more sincere than communism has some serious mental problem.

It is clear, Bastiat was a borgois, he was making proud of himself about being against slavery, oh look i am a so good frenchy, I am against slavery, and at the same time he defending ( just like he says in his own book btw) the bougoisie from confiscation, simple, communist would take from poor people ?? i doubt ..

what you are saying he is trying to say it is not possible as no communist country have ever been created at the time he was writing, so, no chance that he was talknig about russia or china lolololol
