There are those on the right who say that socialism leads to dictatorship and economic and social ruin, giving Russia as a prime example.
But my arguement is in an advanced political system like we have in the west, with over a century of democratic institutions, Socialism can be achieved through the ballot box and can remain a fair and just system because of the very nature of these democratic rights we all come to take for granted.
I believe a democratic Socialist world under the control of workers would advance mankind to a more higher level than the corrupt, unfair system we have at present. We would could put an end to war and with a planned economy we could concentrate on ending decease and poverty. These goals can only be achieved under democratic socialist workers control.
So please put Russia, Cuba and any other so-called socialist regime out of your mind, they were backward countries and their leaders after their revoltions were not democratic socialists.

You can't sweet talk me with that commie garbage! The National Socialist Party (NAZI) was defeated in World War Two! Only mind numbed drones can be fooled again!

You forgot one Nazis were socialist as well.
What went wrong with all of them were not men but the system.
Socialism was made by and for the lazy. In this system all a cording to there needs is what socialism is bast on. So why should I work hard if the lazy man next to me get the same or more just because some one thinks he should. We are just humans and need some thing to strive for. If that is taken away we do not. Socialism takes it all the only thing that is after that is the gun forcing men to work.
Each time socialism is tried if fails.

I want me to decide what is good for me, not a socialistic government. To depend on the Government for answers is dangerous. We have our minds and our ambitions. We have the right to succeed and to be wealthy if we earn it. I don't need the "Big Brother " telling me what is good for me. yes, I also want the chance to fail be mine as well. In failing you should learn. There would be no chance to even try when the Government sets all the rules and controls all the results. Independence is Freedom, Socialism is without that Freedom.

All little kids go through your socialist stage. You will grow out of it when you get a job.
Socialism is a loser.
Europe is socialist. In 20 years, the UK, France and the rest will be Third World Countries.
They all depend on the USA to survive.
CAPITALISM is the only way to achieve Freedom and a Good Life.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor. He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men. He rots the soul of a nation. He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city. He infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A Murderer Is Less To Be Feared." Cicero, 42 B.C.

All of this political garbage scares me, and then ,not.
I am a strong believer in God.
There are many who never will believe me a Christian.
Why should I even expect to be believed, They did not believe Jesus, but watch it unfold before your very eyes.
