I think it is a great thing to be an idealist - the world always needed people with vision. I wasn't criticising that you are an idealist, just that your idealism is misplaced in this particular instance. Socialism will never work because humans don't tick like that - and it only ever works on a national level if you apply force. Look what happened in the chinese cultural revolution, how many people were killed or sent into labour camps to "reform" them - all in the name of communism and a better word. All they ever did is to disown or kill those who made something of themselves and then proceed to ruin everything that works.

But social democracy and the social market economy do exist - move to Germany.. lol. We do need idealists
