Why not look at those kibbutzim in Israel that successfully practice socialism? Then you will get a better idea of what its like." You have a short memory, Moonbeam. Kibbutzim have capitalistic enterprises.....that doesn't prevent them from being socialistic. So you're wrong as you always are. From your link: "Many kibbutzim aggressively put money into building new enterprises, even playing the stock market. This borrowing spree caught up to the kibbutz movement in the 1980s, forcing kibbutzim to retreat from collective ideas[citation needed]. Today, most kibbutzim are at the economic break-even point, a dozen or so are very wealthy, and several score lose money. Many people who live on kibbutzim have to work outside the kibbutz. They are expected to return a percentage of their earnings to the collective." Sure sounds like socialism to me. Now go play in the traffic. And don't you have a job, loser?
