Socialism in the modern world
Klimhazard Offer Upgrade User ID: 1461157 South Africa 07/09/2011 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Socialism in the modern world This topic was raised on voice chat the other night and no-one could quite agree whether it was a good or bad thing. IMO, all countries (capitalist or communist) are doomed to become socialist. Capitalist countries socio-financial structures are too delicate to handle a depression in the economy- too many people would become poor. Communist countries in order for their economies to survive would have to adopt more socialistic governmental practices while still keeping benefits for the people; this or their economies would stagnate and be out-competed. Socialist countries have the best of both. So, your opinions on this...

Your products suck, you are lazy, you are to expensive = you are gone. So some go and make place for new players in the market. By bailing out banks you just safe what, after all, should not and most likely won´t be saved.

Lenin "If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism or, more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses but of the economic elite." - Gary Allen Last Edited by SmartestOne on 07/09/2011 01:25 PM ~The most plagiarized poster on GLP!~ Paultards started the war, but I won it!

None of them are accurate these days. You speak, frankly said, about corpses.

Both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia are examples of false socialism.

Lenin's system was a fascist oligarchy, not true socialism. It is that faux-socialism that Gary Allen is describing.

If the sheeple realized what socialism really was (not this faux facist socialism) they'd lose all their power to us, the common people.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1381423 United States 07/10/2011 02:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Socialism in the modern world True socialism, the ideal is: Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly or commonly owned and controlled co-operatively, or a political philosophy advocating such a system.[1][2] As a form of social organization, socialism is based on co-operative social relations and self-management; relatively equal power-relations and the reduction or elimination of hierarchy in the management of economic and political affairs. Different types of Socialism include: As a political movement, socialism includes a diverse array of political philosophies, ranging from reformism to revolutionary socialism. State socialist currents of socialism advocate for the nationalisation of the means of production, distribution and exchange as a strategy for implementing socialism; while social democrats advocate public control of capital within the framework of a market economy. Libertarian socialists and anarchists reject using the state to build socialism, arguing that socialism will, and must, either arise spontaneously or be built from the bottom up utilizing the strategy of dual power. They promote direct worker-ownership of the means of production alternatively through independent syndicates, workplace democracies, or worker cooperatives. [link to en.wikipedia.org]
