Socialism

[Neferti]

Based on a simplistic American idea of what socialism is. No wonder they all failed. Under real socialism rewards are handed out on the basis of effort, not lack there of. If you wish to succeed you still are required to strive. Rewards are commiserate of effort. Where the difference is, rewards are not necessarily monetary. Australia used to be in the early 1970s, one of the most "socialist" states in the world - after Israel which was considered the most. Socialism is not equatable to Communism. Under Hawke/Keating we turned our backs on Socialism unfortunately.

It was an EXAMPLE Brian. Can you give me the Australian version of Socialism. The British version, or any other country's version? Do you mean LEFTISM?

Was Whitless a socialist? Where the people who pay the MOST TAX afforded FREE University and medical health for those that didn't even work? How did that go?

Communism latches onto minority groups, under-dogs under the false claim of empowerment, giving said minorities a voice.

Not unlike union's really.


All very familiar, and all very left true, but perhaps if we provided another avenue to even up the stakes, said minorities wouldn't fall victim to small (c) communism aka socialism to begin with.



Just a thought.

Socialism is nothing more than a neo-poofy euphemism for communism, which is a thief regime, or kleptocracy if you prefer.
That is where you penalise the industrious for being successful, and reward the inept for being slothful and incompetent.
Their current modus operandi is to cripple industry/businesses with unwarranted costs and compliance regimes and normalise the perverted, so their is no incentive to generate income and common sense is prohibited.

What these moonbat pinkos fail to realise is that by killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, they are ultimately cutting their own throats.
When the major industries decide it's not worth operating in this country any more, union membership (except for public servants) will dry up because small business employees and the self employed don't join union extortion groups. Then when the remainder of unionised work force occupations are mechanised by robots the compulsory superannuation ponzi will implode.

While I refrain from participation in share market gambling myself, I have to agree with Chris Corrigan's comments in the Weekend Australian concerning quotas for women on public company boards ... his sentiment (and mine) being that appointing women because their women as opposed to skill or merit breeds corruption through incompetence.

I also note he has a similar rationale to mine on such matters ... that it's not worth wasting energy fighting a lost cause, so just quit/resign and let it fail on its own lack of merit.

And Yogi, I agree with you mostly, just think it's,a tad brash.

If we're to lure the minorities from the commies, we need to be gentle.

Respectful.
