#1 Rantburg’s clever programming automatically tagged as a Dupe entry because it was posted without a URL or even the name of the source in brackets to give busy moderators a hint as to provenance.

#2 I wish there were fewer spittle-flecked diatribes like this and more sober disconstruction of socialism.

Stuff like this won't affect the Sanders crowd. They just shrug it off with "that wasn't real socialism" and move on.

#3 The funest argument I saw was that look how deadly even Half marxism is ! Imagine twice or more that death toll.

#5 #1 Sorry

#2 It's not about socialism - an excellent system for hunter gatherers living in kin groups, it's about millenials

#6 Re $5, Yes, Humans seems to be hard-wired to a limit on social interactions with about 100-200 other individual partners. Beyond that they need to start appointing a "proxy" to intermediate ... and we all know that those Proxies will be totally selfless incorruptible beings of Love and Goodness, right? Right?

Socialism. Bah! Humbug!

#12 The way I understand it socialism works on a very small scale and becomes a blood bath on a large scale. So let the useful idiots set up communes and leave the rest of us alone.

#13 Small scale is voluntary association, which is basically capitalism.

When you get a laerger group then can start to enslave sub groups and that lack of reciprocation causes disaster for all

#14 How's that "New Soviet Man" thing coming along?

Communism can't work as advertised until the perfect altruism is inculcated in the masses.

This really is sad. How many Utopian societies have come and gone predicated on this "ideas". They always devolve into the Animal Farms very quickly.

#15 The way I understand it socialism works on a very small scale and becomes a blood bath on a large scale.

When one tries to impose the nuclear family model on a city, or nation.
