115. You don't sound sarcastic
You sound immature. You want the economy to go bad just so you can win, but you seem to have forgotten the ultimate goal. If it's just to get your way, then you're right, you and I have nothing in common. If your ultimate goal is make the world a better place, then you shouldn't rejoice over suffering just because you hope the suffering will bring about a better system some day. The suffering could just as easily bring about the opposite of what you hope, especially if more people on our side have your point of view. People who are down aren't going to side with a party shouting "Yippee! You lost your job!" no matter how much to blame the other side is for their pain.

Sorry, I think you've fallen into the oldest ideological trap in the book. Read up on the French Revolution to understand how the best of intentions can go astray when you want to win so bad you forget what you're fighting for.
