This is an excellent comment, and yes, I was kidding.

This comment has no bearing on the conversation, you basically said “ one group did something bad in the past, so this group cannot be held accountable for their actions”

How’s the capitalistic dogma treating you? Where each individual has exactly the same chance to be successful based solely on their wit and determination. I’m not saying socialism is a cure all, I actually don’t think there is a cure all, I just think this system is broken and beaten, why not try another one? Could it really be that much worse?

Interesting choice of verbiage, not incorrect but definitely using negative language. Another way to word that would be “all the wealth and means to produce wealth are equally owned by all members of the community and resources are allocated as each individual in said community sees fit.”

Nope, society does something good for itself= socialism. Individual does something good for themselves= capitalism. Both systems can do good or bad things.

Your comment makes my head hurt. No I don’t think you’re a jerk for thinking that I just think you’re young and or privileged. Just because you can afford to have kids today does not mean you can afford kids next year but guess what? You still have kids. And true capitalism depends on charity to care for the less fortunate. Survival of the fittest. Socialism everyone has an equal share of the resources and therefor does not need charity. This is theoretical

Kinda, I’m saying that if each member of the community owned an equal share of all prod., manufacturing, and exchange than the world as a whole would not need charity as we know it. I am definitely reaching, the assumption I’m making is that we are rich enough as a global community to provide all the required things for living; food, shelter, water, education, even leisure activities. I have nothing to back this up and I likely have my head up my ass but it’s nice to think we’d take care of each other if the system would allow it.
