Democrats, can you give me a critique on socialism? Whats wrong with it?
Democrats continually assert they're against socialism and they're really capitalists and they're just not moonbat crazy like the free market guys.
So I'm wondering what democrats find so unappealing about socialism, which social or socioeconomic byproducts of the theory do you find oppressive..
Central economic planning's failing is that when the central planners screw the pooch, they do so for an entire marcoeconomy.
That's the major problem of socialism economically.
The other major problem with a socialized economy is that it ultimately leads to VERY authoritarian governments. As both the power of the law and government and the power of the economy are all the same few hands, their authority is extreme.
Of course there's many paths to authoritarian government.
Socialism is only the one obvious path to distopia.
Another path is the one that this nation seem to be on, right now.
The path where Insider capital takes over control of the monetary supply, thus putting themselves in the position of where they manipulate the money supply thus they can easily saddle the government and the people with debt.
Once their control of the money supply is achieved, they have authority over the state of the society no less than any aparachenik of the Soviet.
And of course then the GOLDEN RULE is truly in effect.
I'm not really convinced that any kind of government or economic system doesn't ultimately lead to increasingly authoritarian systems
It is in the nature of all social systems to put power into the hands of the few.
And it is in the nature of men that the kinds of people who seek power are ultimately corrupted by that power, too.
It is arguable that the kinds of people who seek power were probably corrupted before they sought power, but either way we know that few people when given power don't ultimately become arrogant and corrupted by it.
