What's wrong with socialism?

Eh, pretty much everything we could do to harm the planet (except nuclear waste) the planet can fix in a few hundred thousand years. The human race is just a bump in the road in the grand scheme of things and in 5 million years when there are nothing left but 12,0000 different species of animals all derived/evolved from the last two jack russell terriers in exsistence that were left over after we messed it all up no one will care. big whoop! See i think LONG term.

Nuclear waste is a problem for humans, not the earth. Nothing man does can hurt the earth much. It's only our own egos which say otherwise.
It's also a great way to control ppl. :wink:

Ur right. A million years from now the entire history of man will be smudge deposits of minerals and elements buried down deep. If aliens showed up 10 million years from now, there wouldn't be any trace we were ever here.

I just want to hear some honest, informed opinions on why you think socialism is so horrible. Please bear in mind that socialism is not the same as communism, fascism, or nazism. Let's just stick with socialism for now.

2 questions:

What do you think socialism means?

And

Why do you consider socialism "bad"?
Socialism is an idealistic form of society structured by a central government and rigid rules for people in regards to money and goods.

Socialism is good in paper. In practice it has failed everyone who has ever tried it beyond the small community level. At a national level it is the pathway to despotism.

Socialism is an evil concept. It deprives mankind of dignity.

Right. That describes 20th century France to a tee. o_O

Have you ever had an actual, original thought of your own, or do you just spend your meagre mental resources on an endless bout of serial regurgitation?

Should be pretty easy to point out where I'm wrong.

France isnt a socialist country. It has adopted socialist policies. But it isn't the whole deal.

But exactly what makes socialism bad is the fact that just because you're breathing others have obligations to you. It can only be maintained by force.

Everything you've said here is incorrect, misleading right wing propaganda, spewed without a shred of conscious, original thought.

Pretty much par for the course with you.

Par for this course is left wing propaganda that shrugs off facts in favor of feelings.

Socialism is based on the premise I'm breathing I'm here you owe me food. It's all about selfishness and narcissism.

Couldn't tell you. I'm still feeling this whole peace thing out. I'm used to shooting at shit when it presents a threat.
Some things to ponder...

Peace is not the same as imposed order.

Using offensive force is not the same as using defensive force.

Voluntary human interactions are better than involuntary ones.
