See but that's more like charity which fits more into capitalism...
I think Socialism doesn't work. Charity programs certainly do. That's why I can be against taxation for other people's benefits and still go to heaven... weird eh?
Me? I always put change in the collection boxes and I'm always willing to make that five dollar loan to a friend I know will never pay me back. No one is going to have to skip lunch because they don't have money. Maybe I'm a bit gullible that they'll pay me back. Maybe I'm just a nice guy. But I'm probably out a hundred+ bucks this year because I'm like that. But does it bother me? No I feel good about it. I still have some spending money, and realistically I feel like every small good deed balances out every small bad deed. I've still got a lot more to do, my Karma's still pretty out of wack I think. I'm just such a vehement dick to people (girls especially...), that even a bit of charity can't make me feel clean anymore. But on the bright side eventually I think I'll start being less chode like and be able to start chipping away at my constant sinning... nah.

"I am convinced that there is only one way to eliminate the grave evils of capitalism, namely, through the establishment of socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilised in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman and child".

people here seem to respect albert. only reason i posted that.
personally i believe in a resource based economy as opposed to a profit based one.
once you remove profit from the equation, people have no use for greed...at least as a prime motive.
really just get rid of money all together. money is a complete fabrication anyway. at least ours is.

If we get ride of currency then the greed will instantly transfer to either:Quote:

We are in a focking paradox.
yea but it also gives in an incentive not to work either...i think even if u had a resource based economy you have to have some sort of system that validates the value of whatever u produce. meaning if u wanted to trade me to corn stalks ...what would be considered equal value? my salmon i caught myself? or 2 salmons? or would u have to give me 5 for my 2? see what i mean? some ppl might cheat u...so u need some kinda system of currency...even if its not with actual money.Quote:

yea but u dont got a freedom to buy and eat as u will? I like that peace n harmony stuff but if u have a collective govt with a currency it wont work...style maybe on to something with resource based economy. But do u know how to farm? Do u know how to cultivate land? Are u willing to do that? Its hard work...real hard work. And if u have such a system where u have a currency and everyone gets a set wage whether they work hard or not u wont get anywhere. Russian restaurants would be empty and wouldn't serve anyone because there was no reason to cuz they got they checks under the stalin regime. Capitalism encourages competition because if u dont produce u wont eat...so u wont get a steady check if u dont perform.
im not saying capitalism is perfect...by all means it has some flaws...but it works and works much better than socialism.
hugface u fag how come u dont visit anymore...ur breaking young bensons heart.Quote:
