It would NOT socialize industry: in fact, it would enlist all that capitalism was MEANT to be. Seeing that the employee benefitted in a profit
sharing/ incentive program.
It would NOT assume the property of the people.
It would NOT assume a dictatorship role.
It is to give a set of laws across the board that will make equal all men. From the highest, what you call 'the elite' to the lowest class.
Ensure healthcare equality for everyone.
Ensure no hunger.
Ensure equal education.
Ensure adequate employment.
Ensure fare trade.
Ensure alternative energy persuit.
Like I said, you can quit insulting my intelligence at any time. You just assume people can't think for themselves, and will assume the media
talking points. You can kiss my hairy bean bag for even thinking such about me.
You are still talking about centralization. Let me give you some insight into why it's a bad idea. We will do just the US alone.
Lets take your "equal healthcare, or equal education".
Under centralization, you have 1 program that is for all. When that program does something bad, everyone under it will suffer(GWB style). Changes
to the system are few and far between, because the amount of leadership change is minimal. You as a person have little to no power over the issue.
You have 1 vote in 100's of millions of people. Your 1 vote represents a very small % of the vote/power.
Lets just go ahead and decentralize the issue 1 level, and make it a state issue. Rather than 1 program for all, you have 50 programs. Each
program working to be the best. When a state does something bad, it's only the 1 state that suffers. But then they have 49 programs to look at
for improvements. Also, when a program finds something that succeeds, the other 49 programs can easily take that idea and implement it themselves.
Because you have 50 seperate programs rather than 1, you are able to try many different things at the same time. Where as you can only try 1
change at a time in a centralized program.
You also then have 1 vote in a much less total. This means your 1 vote has more meaning and power. Your vote makes up a higher %. You also
vote more often.
Now you can take those issues and put them on the community level as well. In which case you have 1000's of programs, all working to be the best -
because that is what we expect. You are then able to try many different changes. And if you don't like whats being done, you also can move to
another state or community that is doing what you want.
That is bringing the power back to the people, exactly the opposite of what you stand for.
Since you brought up tired ole scapegoat of slavery previously. Do you realize that the things like the underground railroad which freed many slaves
could not have been possible under a centralized government? That the entire country under centrlization would have been free or had slaves. In
which case considering the amount of slave states at the time, would mean that we would have had a complete nation of slavery. So their would have
NOT been a free place for those slaves to go. Free states only existed because of decentralization.
As long as you realize that I did start the thread, and that does make me the star of this show. You are
welcome to stay on as a supporting actor. Every show needs some conflict. And I welcome you. I hope you are here for the long haul. However, if you do
get Nasty, I will ask a Mod to renegotiate/terminate your contract on this series. So please, I ask, play nice.
