Now, I'm a socialist, so I want everyone the get the same opportunities for success. I think we've managed that pretty well in Norway. But that does not mean everyone will achieve the same success, and that does not mean everyone deserves the same success, and it deffinitely does not mean that everyone are entitled to have as much as everyone else. It also doesn't mean that poor people should be left on their own with no help from others. |
I'm not proposing absolute income equality in sé. What I see as communist is a system where large scale inequality can never happen, a system where cooperation and sharing is the base for society, not competition, and where the vast majority has real democratic powers (not the "put-your-ballot-in-a-box-every-five-years-and-let-us-f*-everything-up), a system where the economy and energy sector is democratically planned by everyone (and not like the old USSR by a large beaurocracy).
I might have been a socialist, but the social-democrats here (in Belgium) are nothing more than a bunch of left-wing capitalists. They never look for any real change in the system, the only thing they do is correct the margin a bit. The Greens aren't much (if at all) better.
