Socialism will Never Work
It is hard to believe that the eternal curse socialism is still haunting us. From all the way back to Caesar (who was a socialist), to Robespierre, to Marx, to Stalin, and to other horrible rulers, we are still here in 2016, still being haunted by this curse.
Why?
I honestly don't know why humans are so stupid on this. Is it the emotional manipulation? Or is it just the sheer ignorance of 2000 years of history. The entire human civilization can be summed up by the fight between the poor and the rich, where:
- The rich want to reach their excellency, and to create wonderful things
- The poor is just filled with hatred and envy, and their creative side is overshadowed by their lust for theft
The Horrors
This has been all of it. The Bolsheviks have massacred a lot of rich Russian aristocrats and stolen their wealth. The National Socialists have confiscated all Jewish property and have committed horrible atrocious genocide during the Holocaust. The Khmer Rouge has done the same, and all other socialists have done exactly the same thing during all of modern history.
The lust for blood and theft of the left is obvious. It's all this envy and hatred that gets discharged in 1 giant genocide and massacred from time to time in history. And it's horrible, but people just simply don't care.
How?
Do you want to live in a free and civilized society? Oh but you also want free healthcare and free education and other free stuff. So what will happen when the rich people won't pay your costs. Will you show your inner evil barbarous hate-filled self? Or will you just say: no thank you sir, I can take care of myself, I don't need your money, have a nice day.
Because you can't have it all. And the greed of the poor people is turning them into literal demons. You think the rich people are greedy? Well then you haven't lived in 1935 Nazi Germany, where an entire country devastated economically, a previous civilized society, has turned into demons after the passing of the Nuremberg Laws, and suddenly previous friends became enemies, neighbors became enemies. Why? Because of the greed, and this inner barbarism, that is unleashed when humans let their emotions get rule over them.
Emotions
People are constantly talking about psychopaths and sociopaths that have no emotions, and are like living corpses without a soul. But let me ask you something, did the greatest evils have been committed by a lack of emotion, or due to an excess of emotion?
Because if you think about it, it was always greed, that has caused all the major butchery in the world. And it was generally the greed of the poor people.
The Top 1%
This is an another hilarious example how people are constantly blaming the bankers, the hedge fund managers and the wallstreet-ers for the big problems. The top 1% is certainly not the big problem here.
Yes I know that fractional reserve banking is bad, I also know that inflation is theft. But have you asked yourself why the system is setup the way it is? Why is there inflation in the economy? What is the driving force behind it?
Well if you haven't , then you are part of the problem. The main reason why inflation exists, is to pay the debts of the governments, which are spending beyond their means on, that's right, SOCIALIST WELFARE PROGRAMS.
That's right baby, so keep blaming the bankers, and the top 1%, when it's actually the bottom 99% that is the cause of the problem. Everyone wants free healthcare, free education, free this and that, but nobody wants to pay for it.
So this inflation is just a trick to make people pay, because , that's right, people are greedy, so you need to trick people into paying, because they don't want to, on their own. And this is true for both rich and poor.
So while the rich admit that they are greedy, and they are proud of it. The poor are pathological liars and show a fake altruist face when confronted.
The Truth
The truth is we are all greedy, and we should not be ashamed of it. Everyone should think for himself, and should not wait for others to save them. Individualism is the key, and unless we wake up from this brainwashing, humanity will never be free.
Everyone is waiting for the messiah. This is foolish, you are your own messiah, and only you have the power to change your own life for the better, so you should not ask, nor demand anyone else to do so.
You may find allies and enemies in your path, but the ultimate freedom, can only be achieved by your own willpower.
Upvote, ReSteem & 
Interesting viewpoint and nice post very well expectorated @profitgenerator Hehehe. Especially, digested by someone who lives in venezuela and is watching & suffering those nefarious socialism effects from the front row daily. I've barely found your blog recently and actually also find the whole bunch of your other posts highly juicy as to care to find them all easily on my feed everyday. So, you are now warned. ¡I am watching you! close and avidly. ¿How frightening could be that Huh? hahahaha Take care mate, I'm now following you and already reestemed a couple of your posts so hopefully a few of my countrymen may read them too in my own weird/humble steemit's blog. By now just pray mate, prolly soon, in a few days I will also be able to upvote your posts when my Steem wealth surpass my needs to calm down the hunger first. Mine and in my country in general. :)
I am sorry to hear that. Be strong and keep your money safe from hyperinflation.
i've got no problem with socialism IF IT'S voluntary :D just leave me out of it lol and those who also want to peacefully opt out and have nothing to do with it.. but it never works like that does it? haha
Hehe, yes, but voluntary socialism will implode very quickly, by a tragedy of the commons scenario:
So people are either way individualists, wherer they believe it or not, there is no question about that. So when they say socialism, they actually mean theft from the rich.
If there are only poor people sharing wealth, then that will implode quickly, as nobody will work if the other guy is getting free welfare.
It is always a host vs parasite system, and that is why socialism will only work if it's done by force, until the host is depleted, the parasite moves to another body.
The socialist has depleted all east europe and soviet union, now he is moving to the USA.
@doitvoluntarily
Voluntary socialism doesn't exist. It is an oxymoron. Voluntary communism, however, can exist. These terms often get mixed. Pure communism is voluntary commune living. It is very rare, and I doubt it will work for very long, but it can technically exist in a voluntary society.
There are certain mini communes in society today that have shared ownership of certain things, such as families often sharing forks, spoons, knives and such.
Not even on small scale.
I remember when I was in college, we lived 3 in an apartment, and we had to share 1 phone, damnit, you should have seen how many times we fought over it.
I bet most domestic violence happens because 1 spouse is recklessly spending money. If only they would separate their wallets and each person should spend on their own, then it would be much better. And fuck allimony.
Only private property makes sense, both in small, as in large scale.
Well, if it's eternal then it should come as no surprise that it's still haunting us, right? :p
I'd be more surprised if something that is eternal stopped.
Yes my wording is not that good in that sentence. What I meant to say is that, it looks like as if it is an eternal curse, but maybe it's not. Maybe with time people will realize how evil it is, only time can tell.
The Iron Lady dismantling socialist twaddle:
I have read up on Thatcher, and I don't really agree with many things she has done, however on economics she is spot on.
I can't believe how arrogant those socialists were in the crowd.
Good Post...The reason they keep changing the name is because it doesn't work! It's a favorite tactic of the socialists...if you give something a benign sounding name it will work better because it sounds good. A broken leg is a broken leg, calling it well doesn't make it work any better!
Yes it is: populists, egalitarians, jacobins, socialists, anarchists (in the leftists sense), communists, democrats, liberals, reds, bolsheviks, enviromentalists, and so on.
These are all synonyms, and I dont have anything against enviromentalists, however it is obvious that all these movements have been infested by the same leftists that have caused all the troubles in history.
It seem like nothing will ever work with only negative point of view and no constructive answers offered. Every system on earth till today is flawed. Even in US where democracy turn into a vote on unpopularity for presidential election. Trade across border had change many aspect of over international interaction and no one will get 0 negative news or critics over any system be it democracy, communism or socialism etc. It no longer about what type of system work best but under what system can people benefit most. Singapore had been criticise as being a dictaorship even thou it had a democratic election because it had less freedom that majority people don't mind giving up for security and prosperity. Today US is talk about being Divided States of America after being one of the democratic society. China communist style thou still need improvement in human rights issue but managed to bring millions out of poverty no one can deny. Socialism causing welfare bankruptcy is no fault of the system but of politicians using it to buy vote where free stuffs get over paid in unsustainable policies. Now it reach the max and tried use basic income to solve the issue once and for all with another good policy tool but poorly planned system to gain new votes. I hope its the 1% of the poor that can be called liar this article refer to as majority are labor exploited in poverty or low income range that never had the time to be on social media to even defend themselves. After poisoning the middle income with individualism or freedom to keep them diversified from the lowest income range, they will continue to get pressurized into admiting it's their fault for being poor.
The 1% won't get far in this century if they don't realize it's not them the world need but those labourers who are also the consumers that they need increase their income/spending power to create new markets and economy. The vocal lower half in developed countries are already voicing out strongly self interest but its the millions in developing or third world countries facing daily starvation, slavery, poor living conditions that deserve real sympathy. Even those living off the grid how many can 100% confident determine that every food, products they use or wear does not involve people living less than $2 a day as part of the labor.
Human will only progress further under a fully open transparent system regardless of political belief as controls can always be in place to ensure accountability. There isn't a need to ask for full support from whole population but unification of the 50% lower half will be sufficient to be a force the 1% can't ignore or need anti supporters vote to change government policies. Funding can be through social business fully owned by the people will to join and managed by professional like trust mangers. The MNCs can get AI or automation to replace workers but those robots can't spend to line their pocket if there is 50% lower income population choose to support their group on their own, in their own economy.
More details can be found on the Global Universal System I still researching https://plus.google.com/collection/QPUllB I hope more writers can contribute in giving constructive solutions like mine or help me improvise with feedbacks instead of just giving the worst critics and left every readers thinking whats next then.
I agree that the 1% is reckless, but the problem is not with them. Its with the system and how it's setup.
The moment you cant reason with humans, that moment you have lost the rational debate. You can sit down and reason with any hedge fund manager. But how do you sit down and reason with masses of poor people who are filled with anger and envy toward the rich. They would easily become hotheaded and start to initiate violence.
It's not like you can explain to people why minimum wage doesn't work, and why taxes are making everyone poorer. They just want to feed their family and dont care about a rational economic discussion.
This is the problem, this is the entire problem. This is why demagogues rise to power, they controll the masses , not through rational arguments, but through incitement to violence.
Hitler, Lenin, all of them, have played the masses through emotional manipulation. And how do you propose to solve the problem when these people can't be reasoned with?
It's like trying to reason with an angry bull that is charging toward you. How?
The 1% are only part of the problems who influenced most of the corrupted system. That's why they need new scheme of donating 99% of wealth to hide their wealth and prevent further public outrage. Only if the fund managers are selected randomly in 100s or 1000s like juries then I believe they are really that charitable and not just evading taxes.
God only stand on the side with the bigger cannons. As much as I would like to believe man are born good and they should live freely without any restriction (the only tribe I know is the sentinelese that have no written law or constitution etc to rule them, even thou India claim their island) Human are intelligent beings but also extremely probe to emotionally incitement like you said. In this current world we just need list the fact and figure and set in the threshold when certain number is exceeded, the degree of punishment will rise automatically like the stock exchange.
People protest and riot is only because the petitions are useless and legal procedures too long are not enough to get them basic justice. An angry bull charging is a rare event to me because I won't go to attend any of Spain bull run and if it's humans I dealing with, either suppress them or kill them in self-defence. I won't be Jesus waiting to be crucified because there might be a mob and I as a planner don't have the foresight to anticipate such events.
Every system on earth is already complicated enough with all pro and con well debated over the centuries but the stupidity is to think one system can only exist on one principle. Good intent policies/actions are all covered by hyprocrisy of politicians to the maximum extent that Iraq war can still go unpunished till today. Not surprise rise of trump or durtuete type of speech can only make people feel more secured than hate them if they even had time to think properly. The faults are mainly in the financial and legal system, not the lack of solutions. When the cases of injustice piled up like those rich and powerful getting away too often then I rather use the guilty till proven innocence approach when you don't see once in a century type of case anymore. The school killings, bank frauds, rapes get unpunished, etc all sort of new crimes that sometimes went out of the legal coverage especially in IT advancement or even scientific range. Solutions are simple and it's not new tech close to driver-less car required but implementation is always stuck at legistrative or government bodies.
Find me a person that after so long that trade had cross all borders but not a single person can be respectably elected world president. UN is by choice of elite and not by votes. Now there is also thinking of election of parliamentarians by lottery like how juries are chosen which is in right direction. If all government personnel had a body cam like police had and a stock index openly rating all their actions and policies with full transparency, then my project is half way towards redundancy. Now all the bad news and facts are already out in today's fast social media and the continuous complaints serve no purpose if people can't rationally sit down and build the system of solutions together instead. It's not knowledge or words we need from every activists of all causes but actions that we can identify out of all the common interest to unify everyone instead of thousands more NGOs that always can't group together and get pathetic results. Unity is strength and it's not invented today. Self-interest is only for those doom to fail.
I liek to use the infamous "I'm not a scientist" on me but I can think outside the box and identify from a third party the solutions easily in each country. like China need more democracy and US need more communisn or even dictatorship to reunify.
Last fact is we can talk about freedom, privacy, human rights, LGBT, abortion, equality, climate etc etc. Billions living under USD2 per day never have luxury to think about all these issues. If someone else really work on the project to unify them and represent them on a platform like FB and give them a USD$30 smartphone (from India) to register under blockchain, give them UBI of $500 monthly, create social business entities, group them together for bigger loans and register offshore to run tax like the rich did legally, easily 50% of all world problems solved in a year!
