@roflcopter2006 The purest form of socialism sure, but socialism has become something widely different for those of us currently not living in fear of the cold war. Overcoming human nature is not a bad thing - it's basic human nature to murder, but I think we'd all agree we're better off without it. Personally I believe that acting selfishly in both social and particularly economic policies is a very bad idea - all it does is increase the gap between rich and poor, see Margaret Thatcher.

@mryoung1989 Karl Marx theories have been tried and tested, of course everytime its fallen flat on its face, and caused the misery and death of millions, you claim it not to be true socialism. I believe you're the one who's ignorant if you actually believe the theories of Karl Marx can ever be implemented, and overcome the most basic of human nature, putting ones self and family first.

@mryoung1989 Socialism is nothing more than communism light, and both fall into the same category of centralised government control, taking away individual decisions and freedom from the individual. I don't need google, and there-in is your problem. Any history book will show you that where socialist policies have been implemented as 'defined' by socialists, there's a been a mass exodus of the population to capitalist countries.

[mryoung1989]

@roflcopter2006 Firstly socialism cannot be used as socialism/communism, since they are widely different in political theory. New labour was a largely left wing ideology that was not particularly socialist in grounding, other than in the very beginning. It certainly wasn't anywhere near communism. Please google these theories, learn the history of how they have mean implemented, study Karl Marx, instead of belittling other peoples beliefs for which you demonstrate great ignorance.

Thanks very much for uploading this debate. I couldn't find the whole thing on Sky's very own website.
