Arguments for Socialism

[Moo]

A common argument against socialism is that people won’t work for each other for free. Firstly, this doesn’t make any sense because workers (partially) work for capitalists for free.

Anyway, I’ve thought of this good little argument for socialism:

You work for everyone for free & everyone works for you for free.

“… workers (partially) work for capitalists for free.”

Yes, but they don’t know it.

I know, but it’s hard to describe: use-value; exchange-value; & surplus-exchange-value to our fellow workers in one conversation.

And one conversation, or, the opening of one conversation, is enough for most to avoid us thereafter.

Hopefully, posts on this topic can help to rectify that.

Hopefully, but then, only those interested will visit here.

TM – I love your enthusiasm for socialism, if only it matched your enthusiasm for Armageddon.

Supporters of capitalism say that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism; which is crazy because:

1. Capitalism has only existed for a few hundred years; and

2. The more advanced technology becomes, the easier it will be to meet everyone’s needs in a socialist society.

Moo – tell that to TM not me. (I was being ironic in my response to the sainted one).

Sometimes Comrade Cheery Arse’s on going pessimistic posts about the end of the world, actually get me to the point of thinking that the end of the world, would be a blessed relief from having to read his endless posts about the end of the world.
