Default Re: Socialism

Oh to come to this thread....

Anyone want to start another religion thread? Ahh the one from like 5 years ago was amazing.

Anyway...

I agree, why the hell can the US not get it's shit together? There's no reason that everyone shouldn't be afforded health care here. I'm not saying that there's an easy way to do it at all, but everyone should have it.

Education is another thing that really burns me. I have a semester of college until I can graduate and I'm just absolutely tapped out. I can get nothing more to help me finish, and I can't go back right now. All because A.) My Parents were like "Oh hey you're gay? Oh hey f you." and B.) SCHOOL COST TOO FUCKING MUCH.

There's no reason except for ass tons of money, that college shouldn't be free for everyone. Ya know?



Now for my opinion on Socialism:

Ok so the "Socialist Company" example. I get it. Although you're saying everyone gets paid equally sharing the profits so the person who works hardest and all that gets the same, well that's ok. Everyone does their part, and if the Company was doing so incredibly well they're all going to be doing well, you see? Plus, isn't the fact that the company does so well only because of you rewarding in and of itself?

I think my main problem with society is that everyone thinks they're doing more than someone else.

I really just think how much could we actually accomplish as a Nation and world if everyone was equal? What if everyone was afforded the same opportunities no matter to whom they were born and where? Eliminating a capitalist society ideally would eliminate poverty. Sometimes I sit and wonder, like seriously how many intelligent, capable people get fucked their entire life because they were born to a family who only makes 20K a year and is poor? Stuff like that. How limited has our Nation and world become because the majority of it is in poverty for the gains of a capitalist society? I mean think if we missed out on the next, I dunno... Einstein, because he died when he was 3 because of some totally curable disease that his family just couldn't afford to cure or Prevent?

Honestly I would be happy with my life if everyone was equal in society. I would be able to go to school, not have to worry about whether it was ok for me to study something because I might not make that much money when I graduate, but it could be something I actually love doing. I mean honestly what I would love to do with my life is research Abnormal Psychology (Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar Disorder etc.), but I chose Software Engineering because it was less school time for the same amount of money (Although I really do enjoy coding too).

Anyway I'm rambling now.

I saw Socialism all the way.
