I can't work. On paper,yes it looks logical, but people are just too greedy, and corupt too ever make socialism or any kind of communal mindset a reality.If only we really gave that much of a shit about each other.Another utopian concept,never to come to fruition.

ajax13:
Great response.  Certainly the ghettos of Stockholm, contrasted with the marvel of civilization that is Washington DC, amply demonstrate your assertion.  No question, socialism is a utopian fantasy and the American Dream is a crystalline example of dialectic materialism.  A better world, brought to you by Goldman Sachs.

heretik:

This pretty much explains None Ya's comment.

excerpt from: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php? ... &aid=22703 (thanks ajax's)

--- Quote ---"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."

Let me see, when you play monpoly, and one player owns everything, the the game is over. And then a in order to continue playing A redistrabution must take place.We have in America 99% of the welth controled by less than 1% of the people.
Remember the great depression made equals of millionaires and winos.
