Why would society need to doubt itself in this post modern world of relativism? You act like society should doubt itself based on some morality which as a relativist you cannot define.
Kant's parable of the merchant and buyer in a deontological ethic. How do you not know what words mean with a tool like Google at your disposal. Also, how did you come to assume I'm a relatavist?

It's actually not. Socialism exists along a spectrum just like capitalism. You probably deride Denmark, Japan, or Canada for being so "socialist", but do the workers own the means of production there? No. So you'd be using the term wrong too when people in the US want some of the concepts they have going in these places and you call them socialist.
You are not talking about socialism. Socialism has a definition. People like Allaharti who want to get hung up on terms should understand this. All you guys are doing is trying to redefine socialism to throw off its past negative connotations. Healthcare is not socialism in and of itself but when healthcare is used to consolidate power to a centralized government, removes competition, and tries to fix prices that IS socialism.

I am too stupid to follow where this discussion is going. We were having an engaging discussion about skepticism and anal play. Now I'm confused. Every time I talk to Agladhor I walk away thinking one of us is stupid, the other is mad and can't for the life of me figure out which is which.

And WHO THE FUCK IS KANT?!

Kant is someone for a literature degree burn out to pull up on google in between beer deliveries. Im surprised he hasnt brought up someone like Wilhem Reich and the Mass Psychology of Fascism. It would be more relevant to the discussion and would also play to aldhagors sick sexual deviancy.

Seriously don't know who Immanuel Kant is? I thought they thought this in school at least.

You're right socialism does have a definition.


Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production;[10] as well as the political ideologies, theories, and movements that aim at their establishment.[11] Social ownership may refer to forms of public, collective, or cooperative ownership; to citizen ownership of equity; or to any combination of these.[12] Although there are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them,[13] social ownership is the common element shared by its various forms.[5][14][15]

Socialist economic systems can be divided into both non-market and market forms.[16] Non-market socialism involves the substitution of factor markets and money with engineering and technical criteria based on calculation performed in-kind, thereby producing an economic mechanism that functions according to different economic laws from those of capitalism. Non-market socialism aims to circumvent the inefficiencies and crises traditionally associated with capital accumulation and the profit system.[25] By contrast, market socialism retains the use of monetary prices, factor markets, and, in some cases, the profit motive with respect to the operation of socially-owned enterprises and the allocation of capital goods between them. Profits generated by these firms would be controlled directly by the workforce of each firm or accrue to society at large in the form of a social dividend.[26][27][28] The feasibility and exact methods of resource allocation and calculation for a socialist system are the subjects of the socialist calculation debate.

The socialist political movement includes a diverse array of political philosophies that originated amid the revolutionary movements of the mid-to-late 1700s and of a general concern for the social problems that were associated with capitalism.[13] In addition to the debate over markets and planning, the varieties of socialism differ in their form of social ownership, how management is to be organized within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.[2][13] Core dichotomies associated with these concerns include reformism versus revolutionary socialism, and state socialism versus libertarian socialism. Socialist politics has been both centralist and decentralized; internationalist and nationalist in orientation; organized through political parties and opposed to party politics; at times overlapping with trade unions and at other times independent of, and critical of, unions; and present in both industrialized and developing countries.[29] While all tendencies of socialism consider themselves democratic, the term "democratic socialism" is often used to highlight its advocates' high value for democratic processes in the economy and democratic political systems,[30] usually to draw contrast to tendencies they may perceive to be undemocratic in their approach. The term is frequently used to draw contrast to the political system of the Soviet Union, which some have argued operated in an authoritarian fashion.




Class is dismissed Santa... maybe you should have attended once or twice.
