Large-scale socialism is ultimately harmful to a society

in socialism •  8 years ago 

"But we are not facing just social problems with rich on one side and poor on the other. We are are facing problems with a small group which takes it all, including the whole sphere, and leaving the majority of people fed by handouts." Agreed. The reason why the small group of elites are SO much wealthier/more powerful is a lack of education/development of intelligence in the general population. And the reason that we are failing at that is because of socialistic aspects of our society such as "welfare," public education, and insurance of every type. Damage being done by the "food," medicine/"health care," and alcohol industries amplifies the problem.

As for conscience, that is a nice pipe dream but it's not even remotely necessary for the optimization of a society. Incentive. IN-CEN-TIVE. Basic human behavior. A higher (and appropriately so) value of intelligence will naturally fall into place when we aggressively minimize every socialistic aspect of our society.

"It has been always the word and in the beginning there has been the word only." Are you referring to the Bible here? Honestly Christians are SO FUCKING DUMB. They have 90% of all of the most important things figured out perfectly, yet they hang on to a shitty, unsubstantial 10% which alienates the masses and weakens their credibility. All of this just to maintain "power." Idiots.

"A class of 30 doesn't show the complexity of a whole system of 300 Mill. people at all." Shrinking to a size of 30 (actually, 5) demonstrates that even in a small group socialism is a problem. However, in a small group there are inherent mechanisms that can deal with these problems to an extent. The mechanisms become significantly less-effective even at a class size of 30, and futile at 300 or 300 million.

Should I draw you a picture?
