We are transitioning to a socialism society right now as governments around the world prepare stimulus checks to citizens. The same way that many have said in the past of having a "basic income" for everyone. We still have people that need to work for society. But we have the means of technology to have a voluntary work force rather than society that live to work or work in order to survive.

This pandemic isn't the only problem, there will be future natural disasters like in the past of the great flood, mega storms, earthquake, or even a global climate change that may alter the climate of the world. We need to move away from a capitalistic society and move into an altruistic society where everyone work on the betterment of the society and evolution. The goal is that we need to one day colonize another planet or space. This planet one day will become uninhabitable for life. The earth at any point in time can become completely uninhabitable and wipe out all lifeform and our specie will be extinct if we don't work on evolving our specie to the next level of intelligent beings.

Want to know why aliens don't communicate with us even though they do exist? Because if you look at our specie from a holistic sense we are no different than what viruses do. We reproduce, kill one another, and use up natural resources without giving anything back to earth. That's what viruses do, we are no better.

a socialism society is a failing society..
Who are these volunteers that would work hard for the benefit of the ones who don't?

The Democrats want to be back in office so bad that they're overblowing this entire pandemic... They want people to truly believe they need socialism now. Socialism just won't work in a country of this size... It may work in smaller countries, like Denmark, but it won't work here. It will bankrupt this country.

Denmark isn't socialist, ignore Bernie Sanders.

It won't work anywhere. In fact a smaller country will fail even faster as there are less workers available to enslave for the state. Socialism is a construct that doesn't work anywhere it is tried. The shortest book ever published was, "The Complete List of Successful Socialist Nations". It had a front and back cover and no pages!

Socialism only appeals to two types of people. The ones that see themselves on top stealing and those who have nothing to steal and see themselves getting something for nothing.

And your cure for humans-as-a-virus is tyranny and collectivism. Because there is a long history of that working well and providing evidence that changing over to it will lead to well-run pandemics.

You can’t make this stuff up...

Yep and 56% income tax.
They are steadily lowering taxes and reducing the welfare state.
There is no minimum wage.
Social security retirement is being privatized.
The means of production are not owned by the gvmnt, its capitalist.
