Reply #5: Socialism is no better than Capitalism

[NecessaryOnslaught]

The concept of Socialism is incongruent with modernity- It is best seen historically as a response to the tensions brought about by industrialization and the beginning of the 20th centruy. It does not adequetly protect the rights of the individual in a society. It is an alluring snake oil that all to often progressive-thinking people, fed up with the excesses of capitialist societies turn to as an alternative to the vagaries of the open market. Socialism's allure fades though when theory is put into pratice, as its economic, cultural , and legal conceptions inevitably allow a small group of intelligencia/state planners to ditate norms to the masses,often through coersion and state sponsered propoganda.
