Since when do any of those organizations require membership by all people within a geographical region? You're missing something critical if you think it's fair to compare a voluntary association to a political philosophy.

Socialism does not require this.

Well socialism is almost exclusively talked about as a social/economic/political system that applies to all people in a given country. You can't opt out of the taxes/benefits if you live within the geographical area. You can opt out of paying for sports teams, unless your city also taxes you to pay for stadiums, which is a shameful use of taxpayer funds, but that is beside the point. You won't find a national system of voluntary socialism talked about, because it's difficult to keep a system like that going unless you have the threat of force there to expropriate from the rich.

There is a difference in trying to be funny on a dumbass rnf forum and making myself stupid. Do I believe in socialism, No fuck no. But the Nfl by definition redistributes wealth from large market teams to smaller ones. If it were a capitaist organization, the Cowboys Giants Jets and Patriots would have all the money. There would be no salary cap or draft. Everyone would be paid what they are worth. It intentionally keeps labor cost low through collusion


In the NBA LeBron James would be making 60 million a year.


But seriously you fucks. I do not want to use my fucking brain talking about the tenants of socialism on a shitty emulator.

There is just as much of a difference between voluntary "socialist" organizations and socialism than there is between socialism and capitalism. In fact, voluntary "socialist" groups are not in conflict with the ideas of a free market. Every single family is run as a socialist entity. Those who can earn money (parents) redistribute it to those who can't (children). So in light of all of this, what was your point in the first place?

Unless you see your children as investment vehicles. Which has been the case throughout the majority of history [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am pointing out the ignorance that most people think when they think "socialism". And that the system is viable when there are no corruption involved.

Capitialism works great in a microeconomy. But requires heavy regulation in a global /our economy due to the simple fact that as corporations get bigger they get less human. When ideology works against the betterment of mankind, in any instance, that is just a bummer to me.


I feel local government is 100% better served by a "right wing" ideology. They do not have the capacity to effect any real changes in social progress. Which is my 100% problem with right wing organizations. But they are fiscally conservative in the approach to growth of a community.


Clear?
