Socialism will never work because it’s founded on emancipation, and you can’t force people to emancipate themselves. That would be the opposite of emancipation.

I’m not sure if this is a quote, I can’t remember where I heard it.

“Emancipation” in this case meaning emancipation from wage slavery.

        Isms are things. Capitalism, socialism, communism, fundementalism, etc… It’s not hard man, it’s the basics of world governments. Know your isms. The right in America wants you to believe socialism IS communism, but it’s not. They also think Trump is a good leader. Not exactly top of the class over there. They lie to you, a lot!

        They share some similar ideology. That’s why the west adopted a lot of the good things communism was doing while trying to avoid the worse things. Hence, socialism.
