Socialism won't work because we think in terms of a capitalist model, you see.

Incentive, drive, self-worth, desire would exist in socialism as well. It's just in capitalist terms we see all these things as being tied in with income.

I'm not saying I'd really want full on socialism anyhow. I just thought it would be fun to bandy the idea about.

I do however like a lot of socialist ideas that can be applied to the capitalist model.

Free healthcare, anyone?
