AHHHH! STEEM's down! What ever will we do with ourselves? Also, some thoughts on "Democratic Socialism"

The memes really describe the whole thing very well. The needs of many do not outweigh the need of the few. Why? Because you can't even really get a good handle on things that the many needs. Everyone is an individual and we need different things. Eliminate a lot of these things blocking people from living a more free life. Freedom to pursue their own health, wealth, happiness, creative expression, etc. Stop hindering them with taxes and laws that only create a new way to steal money from them and that don't come close to giving them what they really want, need, or even asked for.

Well said.

The needs of the many are inseparable from the needs of the few, since the "many" is just zooming out and looking at a larger sample of the "few". I don't see the problem being with the idea of taking care of the needs of the many, or in having a society that is structured to make sure as many as possible are healthy, wealthy, and well... but socialism when used in ANY political context is simply an excuse to centralize power & wealth among a handful of folks willing to use violence, and never actually has anything to do with being social or helping society.
