Next step must be independent "Individuals" working in groups towards greater goal!! - That is exactly what socialism is all about! Can you now understand those who strive for that same goal but you call them socialists - as like that is something wrong?

I am neither, You are short sighted my friend..Continue with the word, don't just stop with "Inter" or group, continue.. Laziness leads to ignorance.. Interdependence is a group or individuals that depend on each other for a greater mutual goal..One has to be independent in order to commit to interdependence. Socialism= tribalism.. we grew to Capitalism with teaches one to be self sufficient or independent... Next step must be independent "Individuals" working in groups towards greater goal!!

Interesting. Prefix 'inter' is used to refer to something existing or happening between similar things or GROUPS OF PEOPLE. I thought that you are individualist not socialist.

[AroundTheWaymon]

Honestly, what you are trying to describe is INTERDEPENDENCY.. Which I agree.. We all need to grow to the next level of INTERDEPENDENCY.. Cheers!

[jonson11122]

You are dependant from others. You are dependant from others to buy your product, to use your services, to help you when you are injured. You cannot live by yourself without depending on others.

People need to learn, and use what we learn. I think that's kind of what we have now in USA, Democratic Socialism, we take care of others whilst making it possible for all for learn and grown in life. Cheers!

So we shouldn't take care of our own? I'm not a big fan of the protesters, or hippies, but I like the idea of democratic socialism.

If you want socialism then you obviously suck at life.

[AroundTheWaymon]

Bull shit! Socialism teaches dependency, Capitalism teaches independence! You want to take care of people and I want to take care of my self!

[Reiki Nurse]

I don't blame these people for wanting a more Socialist system ... Capitalism is the actual AXIS of EVIL ...
