I've never heard anyone advocate for "pure socialism"
U must have a lot of people here on ignore. Darth Humanist has been advocating it this entire thread.

I am getting really tired of people with no property trying to dictate how property should be "redistributed". Its pretty funny how that plays out.

Tell me a country the size and diversity in population of America that has been successful with socialism? :myman:
terrible reply. unless you want to have a race convo. cause we know the reason socialism gets shot down here in the US. too many others. if it was yet another all white country , the US would've been gone the way of canada. They just can't stand for people of color to get "Free" stuff as they call it. lol.

Good post. But I feel it is making something that is highly complex appear overly simple. Besides, some type of punishment would be rendered for "bad grades" to correct the undesired behavior...you wouldn't just let it all spiral to hell.

What kind of punishment do you plan to give people that don't make the grade (aka don't have enough money to contribute their share)?

Do you want people not of color determining your fate as dictated by the state? A state that was built by blacks but not for blacks? Sounds spooky to me

:what: Put in the most simple way; Theres no incentive to get ahead because the best you can be is "average".
I understood that. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm politically savy but I'm not so ignorant that I can't see that a complete socialist society would be inherently flawed. The same way a complete capitalist society is flawed. I don't see the issue with implementing some "socialist" policies to offset (for a lack of a better word) the capitalist driven society we have and the problems it's caused.

Oh, I agree with that to a certain extent. Thought you were going somewhere else with that.
