  1.  @BatalionHunter  : And the state - socialist or otherwise - always has an interest in never-ending growth and expansion. That's a major cause of environmental degradation. Everybody has to produce an extra 20-30 percent on top of what they need to get by, just to pay for what the government's doing. I think all the people who say "socialism has never been tried" need to start up their damn communes and prove it's a better way of life. Some people can do quite well under a socialist "family" setup. Trouble is, not everybody is family and not all families see the world the same way. That's the beauty of the U.S. Constitution. It's a way for people of ALL persuasions to have a BASIC rule set that doesn't tell anybody what to do or how to live, as long as they respect the rights of others. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've thought up, so far. Socialism, on the other hand, to operate on a national level, MUST use authoritarian means to achieve its goals. And it can NEVER achieve 100% socialism, because government can't run EVERYthing. It's impossible. So it just targets the biggest stuff, the biggest industries, and then makes sweetheart deals with those industries in order to ensure their survival, so government can keep running them. Socialism, in practice, amounts to the robber barons' total takeover. Or the robber barons they replace the old, stupid ones with, after they kill them off and set themSELVES up as industrialists. Bureaucrats become industrialists! Nobody gets to keep the proceeds, but the guys on top somehow end up with limousines and 2nd and 3rd vacation homes, well out of the eye of the public. Socialism takes the privileges that the lower classes resent and bestows them on a smaller oligarchy than the one the lower classes are conned into rebelling against.

  2. @100Davros : You woke up this morning in the full knowledge that all that is wrong with the world is one ethnic group. Must make you feel powerful to distill everything down to one simple thing. You don't have to think, that way.

  3. @100Davros : U.N. human rights office has been taken over by Muslim countries. They're basically green-lighting Muslim invasion.
