Wow... I didn't know Lenin colonized Russia! What an accomplishment - I don't think anyone's been able to do that for the past several millenia.
What are you talking about? Nobody said anything about colonization :?

How many educations would that pay for? How many people would that feed? How many new homes would it build?
Average home cost = $100,000
100 Million / 100,000 = 1,000 homes or: Not enough for everyone (not many at all actually, considering the 6 billion people in the world). There's also the issue of what to put in those homes. Are we talking rooves over heads here, or do we want the entertainment system, air-conditiong, heating, 2 car garage and big backyard as well? Also, how many bedrooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms? How about we build them huts? Quite a few people in Africa live quite happily in little huts, do we build huts for everyone or is that not good enough?

Immediately after the purchase, Footlocker closed three retail stores, one warehouse, and fired everyone that worked at those places. Since the buy-out, Footlocker has made at least three times as much as they paid the Eastbay owner - money that he could have made himself, if Footlocker hadn't noticed him in the first place.

Yet, under communism, he would have never founded that company in the first place. At least with Capitalism, the guy founded the company, made money, and employeed people until Footlocker showed up.
There's also absolutely nothing stopping the guy from starting up the business again and competing with FootLocker. If not him, then other people are free to do the same and compete.

The state of insanity.
All this over a game? LOL

Communist antagonists? Capitalist antagonists? Machine gun wielding elephants wearing tutus? Bring 'em on! I'll punch them into next week and have fun doing it! :D
