    Socialism is the best political platform that humanity has found.

    Well, if it's "the best" for humanity, then humans will be able to create wealth, and, thus, prosperity. So how is wealth created?

    I have the distinct impression that you see life from a Capitalist perspective where "wealth" (your own choice of words) is central to "the best for humanity" (my own words) but the connection between the two is your concoction .... not mine. I am highly surprised that you don't realize it.

    Reality is a commodity you do not possess and the fact that you offer not the slightest motivation pretty much proves it.

    Hmm, for some reason you feel insulting others is a great way to debate.

    The reality is, Socialism is great on paper because it assumes people are honest. But sadly, human nature is not like that. Billions are lost through the welfare system due to dishonesty, I mean, why work if you tell a few porkies and claim free money.

    I for one do not approve of taking one man's wealth to subsidize another man's needs.

    Since Socialism is so great, you tell me which countries run on a Socialist system?

    Which of those four countries would you like to move to?

    Not specifically, but when one (as yourself) states an unqualified opinion as though it were fact then I feel a humanitarian responsibility to put you in your place. So, if you feel that my method is "insulting" then I find yours just as offensive.

    You do not know what you are talking about because what you've just said is not true. You have little or absolutely no experience. "Free money"?

    The top democracies of the world.

    Funny isn't it that you accuse me of being "insulting" but ignore your fake/false view of the world and then .... wait for it .... you post this absurd turd mill. But you don't know what nations are the top Democracies of the world so you regurgitate some between-barf murmurs of Friday night drunks you overheard at the local bar. "China, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Vietnam"? What do they have to do with any meaningful discussion on world policies and Socialism in particular? Did you look up the Top World Democracies yet? I think you should. :nod:

    Well done, I tilt my hat to you, I'll keep your WHM laugh going.

    You go live in any of those four countries and enjoy your life. Many in the West don't want to live in s***hole countries, and/or, have their political system that creates s***hole conditions.

    I've asked you for a list of Socialist countries, you provided none. I've asked you which one of the four you'd like to live in, silence.

    Yet you have the brain capacity to say their system is the best one to have!!!!!! Lol.

    I'm going to tell it like it is: I think you took my advice and looked it up - the World's Best Democracies - and you found out that I am right. But rather than admit it you've decided to play silly bugger and pretend you don't understand in hopes of avoiding hanging yourself. But the noose has been around your neck (figuratively speaking) since your second comment and I've just pulled it tight. You may think that feigning stupidity makes you seem clever but it only makes you seem trite & stupid. Tsk, tsk. :bored:

    I don't claim to speak for what is "best for humanity" nor would I trust any human being who does so. What I do know is that I do not want I, or my children, to live a subsistence lifestyle, nor be an elitist who lives like a parasite upon those who do. So, yes, I believe wealth creation is best for me and my family, and I believe that many others feel the same. So, if you want to live in a collective, scratching in the dirt for your sustenance, that's fine, but forcing it on others by imposing a normative economic framework is immoral and evil.

    Socialism is for the masses, not the elites

    Your impressions of Socialism are based upon pure cliches. In short (very short) you have no idea what you are talking about because you have no knowledge or experience. Speaking with you (on the subject of socialism) is similar to discussing Alegra with someone who can barely add and subtract. That may not be your fault but the fact is that you really don't know very much about it and it just doesn't seem prudent for you to express much of an opinion on the subject and expect to be taken seriously. Your pre-conceptions are rather circular in nature because you ignore any meaningful evidence of reality by repeating the fundamental cliches you've stated here, above.

    and which countries have Socialism ever worked in its entirety for? answer, none.

    many countries have bits and pieces of Socialism about their countries, but anyone that has ever gone full Socialism, ends up being a 3rd World Country, and or becomes a 1 party system Dictatorship/tyranny, and completely forces their will upon their people.

    Thus, the people's voice no longer counts.

    Another moronic opinion on a subject about which you know nothing, particularly this "goal-shifting", independent clause ....
    ... which shows that you are aware of your misgivings but you try to side-step them. Nice try, but you get an "F".

    Perhaps, but until there is a theory of wealth creation, I have to assume that socialists have no idea how wealth is created and, thus, will only destroy what wealth there is as they try to figure it out.

    So, enlighten me. How is wealth created under socialism?

    It seems to me to be *very* prudent to express an opinion about a normative economic framework that some people want to force everyone to live under. But, feel free to sniff derisively; I'm not going away with the question or my opinions, no matter how much you whine about it.
