(3) Communism and socialism is based on efficiency and organisation. If I invited all you guys to go on a hike with me in the taiga, the best way to preserve harmony and co-operation would be to share our resources equally. The alternative would be to fight and squabble who gets most.
So, in short, communism needed reforming. It is possibly the only alternative to Christian/Islamic religious extremism within the U.S. and Arab World.
Lets examine this ...... Let's take that communistic hike. And for the fun of it, lets hike the Ho Ching Ming Trail. Ok, so we share. Sounds great. Human nature is the base problem with communism. I want more then you. And maybe I should get more then you because I am larger and I carry a bigger pack ..... So I take more. Then we come to a fork in the trail ...... I want to go this way. You want to go that way. The rest of the group do not know which way to go. If they go with capitolistic me , they know that once they get to the end, they can have the things they want if they work har enough. If they go with you and your cat, they know that when they get to the end, they will have to go to work , and do more work then their fair share, because of the 2 guys in the back who insist on more Snickers bars that will not pull their own weight.
I offer them rewards for their motivation. You offer them ...What? The warm fuzzy feeling of helping the unmotivated?
Communism punishes the motivated individuals. And the truth is, the motivated individuals are the ones who create a better society.
Of course I have noticed that communism is usually enforced with a large military.
"Virtually all war is motivated by capitalist greed for material gain." When the Russian tanks rolled over Afghanistan in the late 70's it was because 2 capitolistic countries were going at it?
Our prisons are full because of the lack of proper values. The welfare system of this country is what has caused the defeatism of individuals. And it is this defeatism that has filled the prisons. Our system has rewarded bad behavior since the mid 60's.
Carrera. .... I think I have seen you post the fact you have a nice bike. Unless you are a trust fund baby, you were motivated to work for it.
Would you want to share it??? Would you want to let everyone ride it?
And you have a education and have studied in many places. {I think I have that right.} Somewhere along the way you worked extra hard for these privledges. Why?
The key to social justice is to provide jobs for everyone.
