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.

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.

This pretty much explains None Ya's comment.

"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.

Yeah, right.
"By the time of his death in 1937, Rockefeller's remaining fortune, largely tied up in permanent family trusts, was estimated at $1.4 billion. According to some methods of wealth calculation, Rockefeller's net worth over the last decades of his life would easily place him as the wealthiest known person in recent history. As a percentage of the United States' GDP, no other American fortune—including Bill Gates or Sam Walton—would even come close."

There were many once wealthy people in the soup lines together. Some people lost so much money,even death seemed a better choice. Capitalism when left unchecked , tends to run amok. Europe seems to have found a way to blend capitalism with what seems to be more of a social consciousness. Remeber when the little people aren't buying,the rich aren't getting richer.

Absolute drivel. While old JD may have popped up in the soup lines to flip a few nickles at the great unwashed, having scaled back from dimes, with his billion plus 1937 dollars he didn't need George Michael to tell him to choose life.
"The capitalist system cannot continue without production, but the stage of monopoly or finance capital, which capitalist production itself breeds, is essentially destructive of productive forces. Thus, in Marx's words, capitalist production begets with the inexorability of a law of nature its own negation. It sets in operation monopolistic forces that "at last reach a point where they become incompatible with their capitalist integument. This integument is burst asunder. The knell of capitalist private property sounds."

"Demand in modern capitalistic system is artificial, mostly triggered by bubbles like the Dot-com bubble or the more recent housing bubble.In India too the credit card system involving a lot of sub-prime lending is triggering the consumption"

"The growing struggles of the working class in Europe and internationally against mass unemployment and government austerity policies are exposing the reality behind the façade of bourgeois democracy. In every country, the government, whether conservative or nominally “left,” is cutting jobs and wages and slashing social programs in complete disregard for the overwhelming opposition of the population."

Try reading a little before you expound on socialism vs. capitalism.
It's not quite the same as the Beatles vs. the Dave Clarke Five.

Look ,you can worship the Rockefellers. They helped loot the treasury too,.
All weath is created on the backs of labor. Big buisness is bad for little people. There is no way around it or there would be no little people.
SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE FROM PEOPLE!!

Although you seem to have failed to either read or understand the Einstein essay, and everything that came after in this thread, you are correct in one assertion. Soylent Green is made from people.
