Where in any of that did you get that I was advocating for absolute power for a government? Our Constitution was based on the principle of separation of powers to limit control. The checks and balances were specifically designed to counteract human desire for power. Pretty darn good idea if you ask me. Unchecked socialism would be just as bad or worse than the horrors of unchecked capitalism in the 19th century when money equaled completely unlimited power and robber barons controlled the country. Any absolute power is dangerous.

the US has had socialism since its first days and has managed just finethat all sounds great. there is in fact no such thing as unchecked socialism. socialism is merely the first step to absolute govt control of your livelihood. you may not believe that but I can't pull your head out of your own ass. socialism is the tool those who want more power sell you as utopia to achieve their next goal.

Wrong, socialism leads to communism, they go hand in hand. Capitalism while not perfect affords everyone the opportunity in this country to make enough money to live comfortably. Socialism and communism does not. Plus, you can't start out equal monetarily or socially so that argument is moot. People before you worked harder than others and will continue to do so in the future. How do you make sure that the next generation starts on the same level when some people worked harder to make more money therefore giving their offspring a better chance. You can't just make them give it up to the children of those that did not just to start the next on the same level. No one in the future would put forth the effort to try harder because it will be given away. Total stupidity to think that way.This is a false slippery slope argument. Our government currently engages in many socialist policies, farm subsidies, Social Security, military benefits, and the tariffs yall love just to name a few. We're agreeing on the base point which is nobody is looking for an equality of outcome equal wealth "utopia" fantasyland. Equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are vastly different things. We like to think of America as a meritocracy and the best way to let people rise based on merit is equality for those starting out in the game, not equal outcomes no matter how you play it. Capitalism and socialism are partners, not adversaries. Unfettered capitalism is just as bad as unfettered socialism, look at the robber barons of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
You can't make this shit up. You can't. You simply cannot.
If this is true, then I will contribute to buying the GD server so we might put all these animals away forever.
Best conversation I've read here in a long time.Good man
Sane man
I edited my previous posts for clarity. We seem to be discussing two different issues, what economic policies to legislate and the amount of power those who govern wield. Any governmental system where the governors have absolute power over the governed will lead to suffering, no matter what name it goes by. We need to be less focused on labels and more focused policies. Every modern government is a mix of "-isms". Saying capitalism is wonderful and socialism is terrible is a false dichotomy. They work together, an absolute form of either would be nightmarish.
Convincing argument thus far Dion.
Tell me where Castle is wrong.
