RE: The intellectual hypocrisy of the socialist.
Oddly enough it seems as those types of government don't seem to last too long without a free market somewhere to keep them afloat.
How much foreign aide did the US provide since WWII?
When they DO go belly up...(not if..but when)...it seems that war follows shortly thereafter.

Socialism doesn't scale.
it works purty good in small groups of a few dozen or so people
but not anything much bigger.
The tribe is a perfect example of socialism working. Unfortunately, the tribe requires an environment and social programming which support it. Outside creation, from a place of bad programming and surrounded by bad environment, is rather difficult to complete and preserve.
In short, we don't live in the era of the tribe any longer. Yes, size destroys the tribe. Socialism is a tribe product, which should have died out with the tribes.
nope.
socialism is inherent...in small groups of people.
large groups of people go insane.
that MIGHT be a clue.
Exactly, which is why the small part is entirely necessary as part of the "environment" in which it can exist. Historically, contact with other tribes (which have different customs and social dynamics) ends poorly.
So, given the inability to create small enough groups and the inability to maintain separation between working groups, it is not a viable model for any type of large population.

you weren't paying attention.
it's INNATE...it's wired into the wetware.
we're born that way.
do you intend a widespread system of genetic engineering?
eugenics hasn't worked..but KEEP TRYING?
or..
Sea Steads... we have 'proof of concept' already...sometimes called 'cruise ships'.
give everyone the option of NOT having to live in crowded surroundings.
let them have the option of...just floating away...
if they want to.
What's also "wired into the wetware" is the need for compensation in a healthy balance with accomplishment. Any perceived imbalance in the equation upsets the psyche.
yup..in small groups that's true.
in large groups people begin to act irrational .
Irrational in what way?
They act IRRATIONAL...can't predict how.
