If we work harder, we expect a better reward. This is how society develops. Socialism is the disease that seeks to wipe out this growth.
However, capitalism is much simpler and easier to implement.
Capitalism is no advert for developing society. Capitalism breeds selfishness,greed,envy,competitiveness,hostility to others and other unenviable traits.
It is inhuman...witness the vast imbalance of the world's resources, look to the third world, to the starving millions and contrast the lives of those people to the mega-rich. Abomination.
You show your true colours, Adrian, in calling socialism, a system that would seek to redress the imbalance and create REAL equality, a " disease ". It is you that is diseased, I fear, only interested in your own development.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
