Excellent thoughts.

: Its these threats and consequences that need to be so heavily scrutinized whenever someone offers 'the socialist alternative' or engages in criticism of private property and indivualism.

: And doing so is fun, aswell.

Excellent thoughts. I feel no attraction to the Socialist/Communist/Green program. Me and millions of others, for the reason's that you list. I don't think that man's make-up, his nature, is built for that.

I may be wrong, but history in this regard says probably not.

Except for small inconsequential communities such as the Amish and Mennonites and left over Hippy communes who are, forgive me, parasites.
