Well, in capitalism, a lot of talented ppl are already doing half-ass efforts and guess what? They become multi-millionaires!
This is true. Like I said, those who play the system can also succeed. However, this is true in socialism too.
The difference is - if you produce in capitalism, you keep it. If you produce in socialism, it gets taken away.
I am not talking about working hard. I am talking about producing goods and services that people want and need.

That's how the capitalistic propaganda machine entrapment starts, besides, I do know for a fact that if I set my rocket boasters in the said system, I'm working at McDonald's the rest of my life, bceause it doesn't suit me. Sorry pal, I will fight till the death before that happens, I'm not going to slave away and make the rich richer while I suffer. In fact, I often go on welfare just to piss you cons and capitalists off, it has nothing to do with laziness, I just want to disrupt the system.
It never occurs to you that the way to fight the oppressors is to beat them at their own game? Outproduce them. That will make you rich and put them into poverty.

true socialism has never been tried and neither has true capitalism, nor perfect aristocracy.
each time a system is used, many elements of the other methods always continue.
in the european colonial aristocracies ... there were still non ruling individuals with wealth and power, and there were entrenched social traditions they were unable to break.
in socialist russia there were rich people still wielding selfish power just for themselves.
and in todays "capitalism" GWBush still has more power than just the money he owns ... a lot more power.

It is pretty complicated. But the winner gets to be the head "chimp" for a while. Then you have another election.

How did we get so much power to give to him? It is up to you to figure out. If we just tell you... you will reject the answer. Figure it out.

in socialism taken to its extreme, the government would have all power.
bush has not got all power ... but he does have a lot ... you yanks are a bunch of commies.
now afghanistan, or iraq as it is at the moment ... little or no government control ... freedom to the individual to do whatever they want regardless of others ... decentralised control ... the true capitalists 😀
Originally posted by flexmoreThe only problem is that just because you can't comprehend a working government, you think that Bush has abandoned the law. John Kerry and all but four law makers (of the six hundred or so who voted) gave him the obligation of making war. If Saddam didn't live up to the ageements and stop firing on our aircraft protecting the south from Genecide.

A little study wouldn't hurt you sir. Try it. It will only harm your biggotry.
Then it "happened". Didn't it? A choice was made and it "Happened". So here we are stuck in reality. The war is real. Our enemies are rooting for the terrorists. We notice. Even those who live here amongst us. An enemy is like that. In Real Time and space.
