Thema: why doesn't socialism work the way it's supposed to?
First of all, isn't socialism just a nicer form of communism? The expressed ideals and proposed outcome seem pretty much the same. But, if at least in theory, it's supposed to be about even distribution of resources, wouldn't that necessarily imply a two class system? A working class and ruling class. And within those two classes there would be many levels (clases) of power and responsibility. So what's the difference between what would have to work out be some sort of corporate monarchy ruling over everyone else, to insure even distribution of resources, and any other kind of monarchy, dictatorship, etc. Aside from the high ideals I'm accustomed to hearing about, what real motivation is there to avoid despots and wanna be despots from taking over? I've never understood why anyone would believe a 'perfect' system of governing is even possible, or desirable. In a perfect universe, all matter and energy would be evenly distributed. Never mind that nothing could live in that kind of universe, only the fact that it would be perfect is relevant..
