invictus says: This article is based on the Deutscher Lecture which Rick Kuhn, Reader in Political Science at the ANU, will deliver in London on 7 November. Dr. Kuhn's book Henryk Grossman and the Recovery of Marxism won the 2007 Deutscher prize. The problem is too huge and too old to discuss here. For the given moment one can tell that when capitalism is rampaging in a cowboy, wild west style - than problems starting to pile up. A $Trillion dollar bail out for Wall St. Socialism is also part of the problem. In socialism, there is no term or process called "bailout". Note: The clip contents show a few paragraphes that ı picked from the entire article. I recommend reading it in its entirety at the source site. Yes, in socialism there many other nice terms as "10 years of labor camps without rights of correspondence", which means imminent death (killing) without notifying family. Germans are good in socilistic ideas, other nations are even better in such practice. "Restoring marxism"! Better to say reviving. But you cannot breath life into carcass. It's dead long time ago and was buried. Even at local level of small communities socialism is always result into abuse of power, suppressing freedoms, freedom of choice first of all, and eventually into into open violence and wars. Yes, it's true that "capitalism is disgusting thing", but all others are much worst. @invictus -- No such term as "bailout"? What a small minded attempt at rebuttal. Is there a term for "Taking Money From the Government and giving it to the SuperRich." Taking money from the government and giving it to the SuperRich, is the issue that outrages the vast majority of USA Americans right now, It has been called, in this case, Wall Street Socialism because: 1. It redistributes wealth. 2. It's a distortion of capitalism because it's a distortion of the free market flow. Most folks have an objection to seeing the SuperRich pay less taxes and get more cash benefits from the government. That's my point here. I hope that makes it clear. Invictus is right about no bailout in socialism. For in socialism, the means of producing wealth is already owned by the government. I think it will bite us back - indeed, it already does in much political dialogue - to label left-leaning capitalism (with occasional, selective, and likely temporary partial government ownership) socialism. The right has worked hard to call anything left of center socialism, and it simply isn't true. |
