Quote:You realize that this isn't really possible in a full-commune like a kibbutz?Then it is not a "full-commune" ...is it?
Yes, sure, children are "shared" perhaps, however people do have personal property. If there is personal property, there is no commune. And no one is willing to give up their personal property, at least I am not.
You're gonna force me?
Quote:Well, true, welfare is strong. However, I was speaking of the working people. Not the slackers. Because there are many, and I mean, many people that exploit the welfare system, and the government has to check with them to see if they are really keen on finding jobs or not, however most just use the money for hookers and blow.so you were there when they spent it on hookers and blow?
..or did you just make that up?
Quote:Well, I don't think it's as simple as that. First of all, most of these people are..like from a village somewhere in anatolia. They have come to the city thinking that they could make a better life here than back in their home village. Like in the village, they have everything they need-and even more, perhaps.Damn, that sucks. Monoplies are NOT good.
However what the government should try to do is to discourage migration from rural areas to urban areas.
And the slums are really like a cancer to every city they're in, however where they really shine is Istanbul. Istanbul is like the one place in Turkey where slums are a common sight. They also sap electricity and water, resulting in higher water and electricty bills for those who pay for it.
I think those people do not belong in the city and should be going back to their home village, and receive support as farmers, not as city dwellers.
But capitalism, on the other hand, is related to it in terms that agriculture is not receiving the support it once had. Cheap imports are killing our farmers, as their yields are not bought due to the cheap crops coming from outside, and animal husbandry is on a decline.
That is where the problem lies. And thanks to our president introducing "liberal economy" we're feeling it even harder, since Turkey is a heaven for monopolies.
