What is the way forward for Socialism?

Answer 1

The way to Socialism is to remove from power those individuals who breed the objective moralities that stripmine society (Social Conservatives, monotheisms). We simply can not claim to have the benefit of society as or primary interest while we tolerate those whose philosophies would irrationally exclude members of that society from equal benefits and privileges.

Voting Democrat is a good start, but ultimately, they're just spineless politicians looking for votes. Eventually they'll need to be replaced with something with a backbone and the mind to take care of all of society.

The next step is to remove money from the equation of political power. Socialists would need to mandate that no elected member of representative government should be allowed to make more annually than that which the average citizen makes in his or her area of representation, annually.

Then they would have to mandate immediate expulsion from seats of political power any official who accepts gifts from lobbyists. Socialism is a delicate balance and can not tolerate political corruption, or it may fall into Communism.

Regulations would need to be reinstated across the board. We have laws against murder, theft, rape and assault because we can not trust everyone to govern themselves. So too must we regulate corporations and other organizations of the people.

The minimum wage laws must be replaced with more efficient models. Instead of a set wage which only promotes inflation +20% and only, ultimately, serves the rich, the minimum wage would have to be a set percentage of the highest paid individual within a company. We can not eliminate capitalism entirely or any socialism would suffer the same fate as Russia did - with the elimination of potential for competition, the crime rate skyrocketed.

It may or may not be necessary to redistribute voting privileges based on economic wealth. 3 votes for lower class, 2 votes for middle class, 1 vote for upper class. This would eliminate any possibility of any one organization obtaining too much money and power.

It may also be advantageous to give Texas to the separatists. This will prevent any future incurrences of laissez-faire economic conservatives into the executive branch of the government for at least the next generation.

Answer 2

The way forward is the same as it has been in all socialist countries and regimes.

Progress from taking over the education system and media to winning elections by telling the people they can have an easy life without hard work or stress by voting socialist. Give them what they want.

Then when in power slowly take away the peoples rights and freedoms under the guise of protecting them from.......
Jews, Capitalists, Global warming, Nazis, Reactionaries ETC. Pick One.

Then start imprisoning your political opponents, don't forget to build those concentration camps, re-education camps, Gulags. Whatever you want to call them.

In the end progress to Genocide, kill your enemies wholesale. All the socialists do. Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, the Vietnamese, the Chinese.

But it is OK because you are killing people to make the world a better place.

Answer 3

Hopefully it will be the same way forward for all of the isms
I believe that a representative government should use the best ideas from any and every ism to do what is best for the people. As long as it doesn't interfere with the ideal of a representative government.

Answer 4

Is there a way 'forward'.....I wasn't aware of it after seeing
the effects it had on the Soviet Union...starving North
Korea....Impoverished Cuba and before turning toward
Capitalism, backward China...(see what a taste of
capitalism can do....China is the Next Mega Super Power)!

Answer 5

Vote Democrat!

Answer 6

First keep dumbing down the populace. Once they become ignorant, make them dependent on government for all of life's needs. To do this, make everything a crisis. Finally change the name of the Democratic Party to include Socialist. Or...just get the Democratic Party's playbook, it's all in there.

Answer 7

Socialism --- govt. controls many aspects of private life.

I would say the Patriot Act was a great start.

Maybe a Patriot Act II?

Answer 8

The only "way forward" is to reject Socalism

It is a failed theory which belongs on the trashheap of history's discarded lies

Answer 9
