I don't know. I had not thought of it. Since that is not what I asked, it had not occurred to me. I asked you what was evil about socialism on paper? Are you asserting that on paper it is not achievable without violence?

Now, all tribal societies were communists.

The modern day price guaging you’re use to has nothing to do with the pooling of goods and free distribution. Furthermore ALL of the animal kingdom is communist (read: Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution).

Private property and corporate rule is protected by state violence.

I could tell you that personal property and free distribution of goods has been organized for thousands of years without state power, but you don’t want to here that.

How is that not evil, an ideology requires slaughtering or threat to slaughtering people?!

I am asking you if YOU think that the ideology has, at its core, slaughter and violence as part of it.

Didn’t the history already proved that in practice both socialism and communism are pure evil? What else do you need?

What Are You Talking About?

Communism/Socialism has been practiced for thousands of years without state force.

Modern industrial corporate capitalism is a state invention that requires state violence to protect the private property of land owners and shareholders.
