Socialist, ignorant or evil?

I see you have limited cognitive ability.

Don't start. Discuss the topic, not each other please.

You quoted the wrong post.

True socialism could probably work at the local level with a small number of like-minded people. But it would be fragile and subject to discord if diversity of thought and values emerged.

Agree, small cooperatives, some companies, even small towns can successfully operate where the workers make the decisions on how to allocate resource and distribute the gains.

If you examine every collectivist society that ever existed you will find several similarities. First, they never survive long term. Secondly, they never deliver what they promise, prosperity and equality for all citizens and finally, they all degenerate into dictatorships and attempts to control every aspect of the lives of the citizens of that society. They all come into being because of a cadre of elitist who allegedly believe they know what is best for the people who cannot decide for themselves what is in their best interest.
Given my point in the above paragraph that none deliver and furthermore all resort to ever increasing restrictions on the actions of the people can we look at those who would press for collectivist (or if you’d rather, progressive, socialist, liberal or statist) ideology as either ignorant or evil.? Or both?

There are those who are simply ignorant and can’t or won’t face the fact that collectivism simply defies human nature because people do not inherently wish to be enslaved, be it to a single family or to an entire society. Socialism requires that we all become the Borg, in theory at least, what it actually does is enslave most while enriching a small group with enough power to keep the rest of us under their thumb. So, are these people simply ignorant of what it all means.

Or are they evil and think “no socialism doesn’t and can’t work but I can make it work for me?” They know the vast majority of the population will not see any improvement in their lives and will in fact have less freedom and a quality of life than before. But, they will prosper and become ever more blood thirsty and dictatorial to maintain their power.

So, which is it for our leftist posters, ignorant or evil?

Yeah, the Sumerians, Greeks, Egyptians and Romans were just passing fads.

The US military works quite well.

Your brain is still running very low on power; you might want to plug it in.

There have been several attempts at socialist "comunes" that failed very quickly. I would suggest you read the chapters on the demise of the Twentieth Century Motor Company in Atlas Shrugged and the article I have linked below

Please show us where there were collectivist societies.

Would you have all of society run like the military? Anyone even with half their brain tied behind their back would recognize the military can in no way be equated with a viable wide ranging society.

I think I understand what column you would fall under.
