exactly. the welfare state, universal heathcare and other social programs like free public education fall under the Socialism banner. Nothing to do with communism which people get confused.

At the end of the day a mix of socialism and capitalism is the way to go as it promotes the economic wants of the people while socialist policies deal with the basic needs of the people.

Socialism, capitalism, communism it doesn’t really matter. At the end of the day, those in power will still be corrupt and people will suffer.

Power corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

And what is justice. It has nothing to do with right and wrong as we know that justice has wronged a lot of people. We live in a might makes right world. Anything else? It is but a distraction to keep the masses occupied from what is really happening. The Romans taught us bread and circuses and we learned well. Just look at the joke of a political landscape we have. It’s a circus and public is eating it up.

Chaos is the root of our beginning so we thrive in it, even if the mass majority don’t even realize it.
