re: OT-: Let's Talk Socialism

Based on my simple understanding, socialism only works if you have a small homologous society where there's really only one national resource as a source of wealth, so it has to be nationalized and jobs/dividends spread out among the citizens.

Socialism is a drug to numb the masses while despots take control.

They promise all of wonderful things, spark a revolution, then seize control for themselves. That's why Socialism never produces positive results and why it's "never been tried".

It's never been tried because humans need accountability and in large enough groups accountability breaks down.

In a small tribe of people living in the woods, socialism works because the tribe knows everyone and holds them accountable. In a city the size of New York the powerful are not held to account.
