Dear David Chibo, "My question do we simply assume that we live in a democratic society and we should abolish capitalism in favour of Socialism? OR Would a Socialist market place become the norm once Democracy is established?" ***The problem with socialism is that it is simply theoretical. Marx never attempted, as you see in his works, to place his socialist theories into a scenario in which they could be practiced. The idea of some sort of equality-prone utopia is absolutely ridiculous because it does not take into account the nature of human beings as living, breathing people but rather attempts to place upon them a life which is based on economic theories. The problem is it would never work; humans are selfish and greedy and will always want more than they have and then more than what another has. They want a place in society. They want a rank. They want status and flamboyance and Marx and Engles did not take this into account. So in reply to your question, abolishing capitalism in favour of socialism will never happen due to some of the reasons I have explained above. Perhaps today all humans want is what the famous slogan Leninist slogan of the Russian Revolution tells us, "Bread, Land and Peace"; although with a hint of superiority. --------------------- C.A. |
