RE: Proof-of-Work Coins will end in Communism
How is anyone sign a transaction without the private key for that particular account?

Good question, that many guys on the forum cant comprehend.
By changing the entire protocol to allow the coins from your address to be moved with the private key of the attacker, and not yours. It is possible. And the majority of nodes can do it.
Or a less complicated method is to just change the bitcoin inflation, from 12.5 BTC to 12500 BTC/ 10 minutes, and hardcode that to a way that the BTC goes to the attacker address instead of a miners.
If changing the protocol were a trivial thing it would already have been done - why do you think there's such a contentious a blocksize debate? Also, your assertion about nodes being able to sign transactions out of accounts for which they don't possess the private keys is wrong - to the point of being nonsense.
