Re: [Mind's Eye] Re: getting to the positive

I hear and understand what you are saying Vam.. now the question is how does one counter them..

rigsy don't be deceived  it is those pay large sums for access to politicians that put them in congress american people are just sheep doing what they are told  (more or less --  they follow the guiding light,,, TV commercials)

Plato is right Communism is elitist ...  it is based off community  a town is a community, a city is a community ..  slums are a community  wall street is a very elitist community only interested in their good,, not the greater good of all people,, and they are very good at giving there song and dance routine.
 work 
Slums are a commune in their own right  they are people gathering together for their own survival..

The most successful communities have been religious   where they have a common belief system. If you want your form of communism to survive you have to have a very common guiding light?  a treat of eternal damnation does not hurt to keep the leadership in line ..  but that does not always work..

I do think the a social communism can work  but every one is and must be expected to work contributing to the over all good of the community..  and if members are unemployed they need to be contributing to the greater community's greater good by sweeping streets  or some thing.. with everyone contributing their paycheck  and receiving a stipend from the community as we do need our pocket change.  lol  I have seen religious communities that you are expected to work 12 hrs + a day just for your ?room? and minimal  board..for nothing  especially when you are not part of their community..

What an endless topic. rag on and on

Good questions.

Precisely... people realise they voted for promises and make - beliefs
presented by liars, who spoke for the people and acted for
themselves ! Now, the ill-intentioned must know that the people
know... what was concealed from them.
