Yes, the government is inherently socialist, but there is
just no other way around it in a modern democratic society,
the point I was making. Besides, it is also true that
socialism is not equal to totalitarian regime, nor is it
a political system. It's a highly inefficient economic system.
For example, socialist Soviet Union was dictatorship-free
during the first 7 years of its existence, with a constitution
that actually respected the human rights. So, for 7 years
Soviet Union was a socialist democracy, then the utopia broke
down. -g- I'd call it a necessary evil in a modern society.
It is necessary, but the more socialism you have, the less
the long term economic growth will be. Central banks are
inherently central planning/socialist organizations, designed
(in principle) to smooth out business cycles. But ... it
seems they did more evil than good, at least in the USA. -g- |
