That's fine if a relationship between socialism and communism exist, but when I mentioned.......what are we even arguing about now anyway.
Look all I'm saying is the accumulation of wealth is a bad thing. It's a big flaw in the capitalistic economy, and one of the pro's of socialism. I'm not saying let's flip our economy over and switch systems, I was only saying that Capitalism is flawed, like every economic system.
I still think Capitilism can promote economic equality, but like you (i think) I'm not a communist. If you work harder, you deserve more, simple. What's economically equal IMO (maybe there is a definition that states something else) is people getting paid proportionatly to what they deserve. People born rich don't deserve to be rewarded more, and hence with a pure form of Capitalism (one that doesn't have taxation on the rich), you can't obtain true economic equality.
I'm fine with people earning money and wishing to give it to their children, that is after all why they spent so much time working. However I disagree with the children being able to recieve the money without taxation. They didn't work for the money, they didn't earn it, so why are they rewarded? I didn't change my opinion, I still think the children should be taxed on recieving the money.
As for your definition of economic equality, again what you quoted is irrelevant. Here is a definition I found, which supports my arguement
Economic equality refers to a situation where the economy in which the apportionment of resources or goods among the people is considered fair. This can be inform of citizens having a basic and equal minimum of income and also increased funds with a commitment for redistribution.
Thus, people who work more, earn more, and that's equal. Does this coincide with democracy? Of course it does! People elect political leaders in order to pass lass baised off public interests. The problem is, to run for counsel you need a lot of money, so the laws which are passed now tend to favour the rich (Mitt Romney was a prime example, he wanted to pass laws to make him richer).
