We will also eliminate the unemployment scrap heap and let people reduce their working hours. Such a new society is often called socialism. In such a society we will not only become more human, but also more productive, because work will be something we want to do and we will make more effective use of our creative powers. Of course the elite tells us that this is impossible. They tell us that socialism is against human nature and that countries like the Soviet Union and China prove that it won' t work.
Socialism means police states and clapped out economies.
As for the failure of socialism in places like the Soviet Union and China, if it could thrive in such backward and feudal countries, it wouldn't be worth having. Even capitalism has had a lot of trouble developing in places like these, going by the experience of most other Third World countries. While the struggle for radical change in developed countries such as ours will never be a tea party, the conditions are there for it to happen. To begin with, socialism in a developed economy would mean shared prosperity rather than futile attempts to share poverty. And over time we are becoming increasingly better equipped to successfully run things without masters.
