Quote from Lucrum:
Vladimir Lenin defined socialism as a transitional stage between capitalism and communism. Germany, Japan, UK as socialist? I think they have aspects of socialism incorporated in their government/society.
What I said they did? I quoted YOUR article.
"ego-driven"? Certainly sounds like most of the wealthy I've known.
And since I'm not what I would consider "wealthy" I don't particularly have a problem with it, especially since imo it's mostly true.
What are these aspects of socialism and where does one draw the line. And, if majority of a countries assests is owned by a handful of private participants and they pull all the strings then how much different it is from socialism?
The article said that such fear tactics have never been used at such level, you were implying like it was commonplace for parties to do this.
Other terms used - peer pressure, fear, reactionary - terms that all wealthy people will like to associate with. We need a poll.
