socialism, at its most basic, is simply sharing. A family unit is socialist, unless you make the kids pay rent to the parents when they are toddlers.LibDave » 03 Sep 2022, 11:47 pm » wrote: ↑ .
Marxism is socialism. Marxist-Leninism is a bastardization\augmentation of socialism called communism. You referred to Nazism as socialist. Hitler and the Nazi's were not socialists, they were a bastardization\augmentation of socialism called National Socialism or Fascism. In many ways augmentations from socialism for Communism and Fascism are opposites. Which is why the Nazi's battled in the streets with the Communists. See how confusing it can be. It helps to use consistent terms such as the following:
Families are socialist within their own households. They share a roof, they share expenses. Extended families can be extremely socialist as well, as shown by communities like Mennonite and Amish villages. This is where race comes into the equation.
All members of a race can be thought of as distant relatives, but cross racially, not so much. Naziism, (National socialism) means extending socialist policies toward an entire state, and keeping that state racially pure, so that citizens can be unified in efforts and achieve great things.
The modern version of U.S. socialism, where socialist programs are applied across all sorts of racial and cultural barriers, is dysfunctional. Individualism is incompatible with socialism, Hence our inability to build anything anymore, or have any kind of cooperation (collectivism).
In nations where there is racial homogeneity, socialism works fine. That is why Japan has universal health care and we don’t.
When you throw a blanket on all socialism and say it all sucks, you are actually saying that any and all cooperation among humans is terrible. By your logic, we should have never built the interstate highway system or put a man on the moon.
