At some point it would be good for ALL societies to have a totally non bias and non ideological assessment of the intrinsic faults and deadly assumptions that keep the idea of Socialism alive.

This pernicious ideological cancer should be exposed once and for all for every thinking person to see it for the soul killing idea that it is. What must happen is all the false emotions and bogus assertions about "what is best for all" lies be stripped of their power.

Socialism has NEVER worked anywhere but it keeps being touted by academics and other elites and power mongers as a great way to help the poor. It is in fact a rule by elites and a small group without any input by the actual working class whom these same power mongers tell us they are working for to have a better life. Their appeal to fairness is a total lie since the upper crust, rich and academics always rule over the rest of society. It is a total grift that promises the world and delivers hell on earth. How this cesspool of an ideology keeps itself alive is a testament to the power of the elites and others to sell poison to people as a curative for what ails them.

It is a system based that appeals to envy and the darkest depths of what evil lurks in the hearts of many within any society. It is death dressed up as a savior that too many are fooled into believing will free them by taking by government force from others and giving it to them. At its' heart Socialism is a systematic means of legally stealing others wealth and work product by its adherents keeping a part for themselves while ruling over everyone while increasing and accumulating government supported power.

Even George Orwell thought Trotsky was right, that if you eliminated nation states, global socialism would work. I can't think of anything more terrifying than a one world government. Ingsoc scales. The only way to prevent tyranny is to prevent anyone from being able to have too much power over other people. Decentralize down to the smallest unit possible, the individual whenever possible. And don't legislate anything that doesn't need to be legislated.

I bought some socialism a few days ago but now after reading your one-star review I'm returning it.

It would seem that authoritarianism is a built into our DNA. It then manifests itself in an array of political beliefs having little to do with the efficacy of those beliefs. Politics is just a method of allowing the unbridled expression of that internal defect identified as authoritarianism.

Might be best to observe the behaviors of individuals and listen less to their political points of view. Again politics is just the cloak that is utilized to hide an individuals personality defect.
