@MusicFromPeru No, you are misunderstanding what socialism is about. Socialism is about the people controlling the government and the means of production and choosing, together, democratically, how to use these to create a better society for everyone. If the people are not in control, it is not socialism. Soviet Russia was not socialism. Socialism is about ending poverty, hunger, and war. Socialism is about happiness and peace. Thats what socialism is about. If it isnt, its not socialism.

Socialism : Government controlling people.

Capitalism : Bankers fucking up people

Take a pick

This experiment has been tried and tried again since the days of Robert Owen and the utopians.  Maybe if there was prove they did not recieve outside funding I would believe it.

I personally have been enlightened with the ideas of Leftism.

I hope many will soon, because being submissive with what things are and relying on a system which approves or adapts corruption in general, is practically like being a sheep.

Aaaaandd, would you mind telling me first hand what "Socialist policies" are being implemented in your country?

[Goohuman]

@ColonelMcKnight Glad to hear it. I would add, socialist structure assumes people are good and won't be corrupted before they hand off power. A republic assumes the people will recognize corruption and vote against it. Neither is perfect, but I like my chances in the US. Capitalism is under fire these days, but it isn't capitalism that is wrong. Its socialist policies removing choice from the markets. Naturally, corrupt people flourish in a corrupt system.

Just keep yourself clean of corruption.

Anyway, thanks for this conversation.

I would like to apologize for not replying immediately.

Only a few, truly want a free society.

So many out there want to be on the top.

That is what Capitalism trains people to be.

Well, it's up to you.

@Goohuman

My point is, leaders are unpredictable

A socialist mode of production is impossible if the people themselves arent enlightened by the idea.

Nevertheless always remember that NOT everyone can be enlightened with the idea since humans mostly act as savage animals trying to be the King of the Jungle

As you might have mentioned in your earlier comments Free Market doesnt exist anymore. Its pretty much really really hard to compete with companies already aiming for the control of monopoly.

Snowball (Trotsky) was planning on the construction of a windwill, a windmill in a farm has numerous benefits for everyone. But Napoleon, seized with pride, pissed on his diagrams.

Since Napoleon (Stalin) kept 9 puppies after Mr. Jones and privately educated them for his own personal interest, he used those dogs as they grew up to put Snowball (Trotsky) on exile. And then regarded the windmill idea for his own after all that.
