    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    I bought from Amazon a pretty much $0.00-0.99 online copy of The Communist Manifesto and just finished reading it And I gotta say.....Marx looks to at some points sound really sane or reasonable and even says how much the Bourgeoisie have done for the world Then he keeps going on as if the...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    Kinda long since this post was made, but honestly, I think even this may fall into tiers of a sorta The Dalai Lhama is against the mass muslim migration and I don't think they like even knowing or remembering that he's against stuff like that And I've occasionally seen that Japan looks to be...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    @Lord Invictus I’m honestly wondering what would happen if the Lords made it so that only Knights(NOT Hedge Knights), Men-At-Arms, Nobility & acknowledged bastards could own and use weapons Also, I think the guy with the gun, depending on the circumstances can force people to give him stuff...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    You don’t even have to hold a gun up to someone’s head to get them to obey Hell, if the majority of people decide to unilaterally ignore you even in the most desperate of(your)times, they show they have power Though in the end, guys like the guy with the sword, end up following whom they...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    I’ve said it before, I think the Amish would do socialism better than them due to living relatively small and caring for each other due to knowing each other Ironically, I think guys like the Amish would be put into Gulags or made to do forced labor or give away their stuff to complete...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    Nope. The people who seek power, even those who may say or think they're doing good, may not want to relinquish hold of it Those who don't seek it, but have the ability to do so, may just treat it as a job and not some ultimate goal Both will probably be "tested" when it comes to how they...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    I think there’s also the appeal of getting to be egotistic about being “righteous/compassionate” and submitting to some “Philosopher King” or even thinking yourself as one In a world that acknowledges strength, intelligence, experience, wisdom & merit for when it is proven. Even by frankly...

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    I’ve pointed it out before, they replace “God” with human figures, both dictators and governments as a source of ultimate authority None can or really want to think for themselves They are “selfless” and obsessed with a greater good

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    Oh, they twist that around and say that they can do Capitalism to make things better, then somehow infiltrate Ayn Rand-esque philosophies

    Economics Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies

    I sorta believe that there's a problem of desiring "Philosopher Kings" to be around Libertarianism, Anarcho Capitalism and/or Laissez Faire Capitalism go against this idea because it sorta goes against outright unification of everything to serve a "Greater Good" and you cannot TRUST individuals...
