What?! Are you tripping right now?
The government would own EVERYTHING and distribute wealth based on THEIR perception of fairness. Invididual success would be penalized and people would lose their motivation to work in fear of having it taken away for the "common good."
No fvcking thank you.
News flash: the government works for us not the other way around.
You really need to move out of the United States, LSD. This is sooooooooooo not the country for you. Have you considered relocating to Cuba or China? I'm sure they have your place in the sugar cane or rice fields picked out for you. You know, so you can work for the collective and give back to your comrades.
Actually, LSD is somewhat right.
Socialism is a theory that in its final step says that the classes of the society will diminish, as well as the government.
Left will be independent communities, with no laws, no rules or no bounds.
It's utopia, but whenever socialists or communists are critisised for supporting an ideology that is responsible for slaughtering millions of people, they usually refers to the fact that the ideology, as described by Marx and Engels, has no similarity to what the Russians or the Chinese implemented.
A valid argument against socialism then, would be that if it's never worked before, why would it work now?
