Socialism

Oh absolutely there is rock solid evidence that Trump squashes the poor. I"m proof of that. I live at the poverty level. He does 0 to help those who live at the level that we do. He is only concerned about himself and "winning" at all costs and his superior ego god complex and nothing else. And if he doesn"t get his way he cries, moans and groans like a little baby throwing his rattle. There"s a lot of things he has in common with the god in which nobody can even prove exists from the idiot bible. A welfare program? Yeah with ridiculous contingencies so that the rich come out ahead. Naturally. Oh and btw, I can"t possibly work. I have problems both mentally and physically. What about people like me which number in the millions? Naturally we are discarded like flies on a penniless arcade. Yes Kings and queens and dictators do have too much power. Its like a ref in a soccer match. Unlike any other sport, they have THEE power. "Socialism, as you said, depends on people sharing and getting along and this is exactly why it's doomed to fail: it challenges human nature." Ever watch Star Trek? Especially Star Trek The next Generation? They get along just fine. People are born good. You have to be taught to be bad. Its just like religion. Everybody, no exceptions, none, are born as atheists. You have to be taught religion. Buddhists, Hindus, those who were native American Indian tribes (most of them) before they were wiped out, the aborigines, especially those engrained in Gaia Mother Earth, etc etc etc they know how to share without war or hate. Religion, especially christianity teaches you how and what to hate. "shaped by the society they live in." Yes---they---are. "Take babies as an example: if you don't give them what they want, they make your life Hell." No they don"t. Babies learn very quickly who is the master. When to cry for something and when not to. "Laws are very important to guarantee everyone's basic human rights, such as life," Depends which country and or area of the world you live in. "because, if there was no law, everyone would do whatever they felt like," Which means peace from those previously mentioned. Do you see any hate or evil going on within them? No. Its taught. And religion teaches it. Not socialism. "which means, you can't assure that everyone is going to share and get along." But strange isn"t it, that the people"s and cultures mentioned they get along just fine. "With that said, everyone sharing and getting along (your definition of Socialism) is impossible." Hardly. "After all, everyone thinks differently, has different opinions, tastes and visions of right and wrong and, therefore, conflict is inevitable." True. That"s the first correct thing you"ve said in this RD. But that conflict doesn"t necessarily mean war and hate. "You can't make"" Religion most certainly does through power then fear and control. That"s what most religions are. Not all. But is especially true of christianity. Its one of the main reasons why I am an atheist. "everyone get along unless you take away their free will," Who said you had to take away ---any--- free will? Regardless religion does that just fine, especially christianity in which you have 0 free will. None. "Making everyone share would require laws." Every society has laws. Did it ever dawn on you that there would be "peaceful" laws? Evil is not a need. Evil is not a requirement. Evil is not a necessity. Only in religion it is. Especially in the world of christianity and its god where evil is taught day by day. "Putting laws on how much you can have, how much you would need to give." How do you give in religion? With religion, its "believe in me or else." "It's the only way because of human nature, people wouldn't share otherwise, or at least not enough to reach equality." And yet its done with those mentioned. Again part of the main reason is, is evil and hate is not taught nor practiced whereas with religion, especially christianity it is. "But if you do this, power becomes concentrated in those who did that laws, creating a dictatorship." Strange isn"t it that within all mentioned, none have a dictatorship. Not---even---close. Yet strangely that"s exactly what most religions are, especially especially especially christianity. You couldn"t have described it any better. "Socialism and freedom can not coexist." Absolutely it can. Besides, a redristibution would be just unfair. Redistribution: 1. a distribution performed again or anew. 2. Economics. the theory, policy, or practice of lessening or reducing inequalities in income through such measures as progressive income taxation and anti poverty programs. Who said anything about redistribution? Who said anything about money and or wealth? Oh but wait, Donald Trump is a billionaire and then some. Would we all feel sorry for him if we distributed his wealth, all of it, to those who need and require it and he was reduced to the poverty level? HELL NO! "He doesn't have the right to take one from the one who has two just because he needs it more." There"s the idea of you working at a laundromat for 20 years and you are a struggling single mother of five. Then someone working at a software company for 6 months and he"s single. That person who works at the software company makes double the amount that you have made. Is that fair? No. That"s why socialism works is because you get into the job that you love to do or are guided to. You do away with something so ridiculously stupid called "money" and "wealth". As stated, that"s one of the things that"s needed to be gotten rid of if there is to be worldwide peace. Nazi theory appeals to the upper class. That"s hardly socialism.
