Quote:I do not know about the Sami, will look into them as soon as I get a chance. The argument you keep hearing is true to an extent, a lot of people are greedy and hateful and this alone is enough to do away with a pure socialist country.
rev.j Wrote:"Pure socialist"? What does that mean? As I have mentioned before, there isnt just one single "socialism" out there. there are MANY types, all being categorized under authoritarian or anti-authoritarian. You have communism, state capitalism, syndicalism, anarcho-socialism, Trotsjyism, Marxism, Leninism, european socialism...
Which "pure" socialism are you talking about?
One where no one is valued above another, where money is not part of society, where no government exists, laws are minimal, where many moral laws would not exist, where there is no creative incentives, in general a system that does not reward people for most anything in life, where success in measured in the mundane. A purely boring life.

Agree with you. However it is the fault of all whether they participate or not. Who represents us is who we choose and if we do not like it we should vote them out for not representing our interest. It is the people who have the power in our society we only need to exert that power.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
