What happened, I was enjoying your little socialist mutual masturbation session.
Nothing like an echo chamber to reinforce your belief system, it has worked wonders for religion for centuries.
Yeah, me and the other socialists here always agree on everything like all good Stalinist stereotypes, eh Beltov? lol.
But if your own understanding of our society is so much more sophisticated then ours (Moe) then how come you're unable to rebutt our arguments or even articulate your own beyond the usual baiting? Is it because your own faith runs so deep you're not even aware that that is in fact all it is? Or because your faith in your own beliefs is actually rather lacking?
FYI I'm not a strict "socialist" personally, at least not in the traditional definitions. I incline more naturally to anarchic syndicalism (no not the mafia kind) and ecological ludditism. But technological progress won't be denied till we either learn to control it or it takes us all down with it. In the meantime heavy industry, billion dollar national programs, and basic policing require some organizational structures and strictures. The question then is if they're more responsive to democratic needs or elitist greed. Either way, I'm not going to let my own small ideological differences interfere with the only natural allies we have left.
