LFP, in spite of evidence to the contrary that Socialism works if done on a strictly controlled basis, (Germany, Britain, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Canada) you will never get the uninformed masses to agree with it in this country. Many people confuse Socialism with Communism in our nation. They have been raised to believe that freedom and Socialism are mutually exclusive. They don't understand that having SOME Socialist policies will not destroy the U.S. Yes, the corporations have done a fine job of taking over. Just look at the insurance companies who fight tooth and nail against national health care, and have done an outstanding job of brainwashing the fearful masses with the kneejerk and reactionary word "Socialism". Any time the corporations want to propagandize against something, they bring out the S word to sway people against any policy that will undermine their bottom lines.

It gained’t be a revolution like Marx predicted because of the fact international-huge governance is lots greater diffused, pervasive, and efficient on the instant than it exchange into in Marx’s day. You gained’t see yet another Russian Revolution. seem at socialism in Western Europe and you will see the destiny. presently, the socialists in Europe can’t take their financial ideals so some distance as they want because of the fact too a lot money and ability might pass to the U.S. in the event that they did. besides the shown fact that it must be purely a be counted of time earlier the american working classification awards itself huge entitlements by making use of populating congress with left-wing representatives. Then ecu politicians can bypass each and every of how with their time table. besides the shown fact that, present day socialism is not a gadget for common human beings to upward push to capability. instead that's a skill for the ruling classification to halt unauthorized upward financial mobility. That’s not what Marx had in recommendations, yet that's the certainty of socialism/communism the place social classification is solidified and no person rises to a place of controlling components with out the approval of the political masters.

In a socialist government you don't even own your own property. You work to gain nothing. You would have no pride in anything you did in your life.
As it is now, we are the government. Its our responsibility to make our elected officials do the right thing. That doesn't happen over night. Sometimes it takes an election or two, but it works.

I agree with you except on one thing, I don't think the answer is a socialist government. Even socialism has its elites.

You tried that under Carter, and it was an unmitigated disaster. I know you libs believe that the only reason that socialism hasn't worked anywhere in the world, ever, is because the right people haven't been in charge, but it ain't so. Socialism won't work.

Please name one socialist society that worked.
YOU CAN'T!
Socialism only benefits the ruling class and leaves the common man destitute.
Look at venezuela, higher grocery prices, food shortages, thriving black market, and that only started a year ago.

What you really want is a government that entitles you to be lazy. Sorry, but no sell.
Besides, we know how well Socialism worked in Russia.
