Socialism is a criticism of capitalism.
You might think of socialism as
capitalism's shadow. You will not get rid
of your shadow any more than capitalism
we'll get rid of socialism. Every other
economic system in the history of the
human race has had people who like it
and people who are critical of it. Having
a critical part of your society feel
that way about your economic system is a
normal, healthy part of a society. It only
becomes unhealthy if you have to repress
or deny that people experience an
economic system differently depending on
the position they occupy within it. So
all the ingredients are here and guess
what, the cake is baked. That's right
socialism is back in the political
discussions of our time even in the
United States where the taboo lasted so long.
