Why should the socialism approach to governance be encouraged instead of the capitalist approach?

Answer 1

well, depends on if you were taught or learned socialism=totalitarianism, or if you were taught or learned capitalism= minority in control of production unfairly. If you ask me, socialism is much better because its the path to communism (no government, classes, and full equallity). It is wrong to contrast the two because socialism is a transition stage while capitalism is supposed to be permenant.

Despite common belief, true socialism is not completely controlled by the government. The government has the means of large scale production, but the population must be as involved as possible, in order for a colaborative approach to distributing the products to those in need, building up infrastructure where needed and later identifying the wants of people(when there are enough resources), unlike the USSR which completely alienated its population. In socialism, the mindset would be changed in order for people to want to work not just for profit, but for the good of society (takes a long time). Do not get this confused with total submision, there is still personal gain in working, but there is also more connectedness to others. Nowadays, you do not fell a need to do anything unless you get rewarded which is very bad. There should still be something there, but it shouldn't be the only reason to do anything. This is one of the goals of socialism to be practiced in communism.

In modern capitalist society, most production is controlled by 2% of the population. think that is immoral and the capitalists have made it seem like it is impossible to change, that it is against our nature, but people have done unselfish things in the past. We are equally capable of both, it is just easier to be selfish under capitalism. It also benefits capitalists because if there is less connectedness, people will not help each other and will not find the true target and instead fight each other.

It is true that the government controls large scale production under socialism, but the people must be as involved as possible in the decision making, telling the government what they need. The government must listen. If this is not happening, then it is not socialism and the people must rebel. That means their can not be a standing army, but instead a workers militia apart from the government controlled by those who are not tied to the government, but are not capitalist sympathisers either.

The military part may not work, but it is just an idea I thought up. If you want mor info, i suggest reading The Communist Manifesto and visiting communist websites. They may not give you an unbiased opinion of capitalism, but they will tell you what communis truly is. In any case Socialism=transition stage to communism, Communism=production is controlled socially by all in society w/o governments or classes.

There may need to be population control under communism because there are not infinate resources to share and if everyone is going to get equall, plentifull amounts, than there can not be un controlled amounts of people, otherwise, people would gradually get less and less.

The fact that there will still be planned production in communism does not mean that there needs to be a government, it just means during socialism people have to be taught to be responsible enough to make decisions, without anyone telling them what to do and, because no one is higher than anyone else, there would be meetings and people would have to make decisions based on concensus. This could be probematic because one group may think they are so right that they take up armed struggle and dissolve communist society. This can easilly be avoided if people continue democratic centralism, but through entire society where the majority of the population decide something and all others must follow. The minority must be given an equal opportunity to argue and most likely there should be decisions that benefit both sides. It seems very hard to imagine if there is no control, almost impossible. But that would be ultimate freedom and a true democracy based on majority vote always.

This is all based on what I have leared about communism and socialism, I do not actually know if the communism I described is directly the same as the CPUSA believes it should be because no one really addresses it to its fullest, probably because figuring out socialism would be more important right now.

I know I have'NT answered completely and rebuttled all the arguments. I gave a lose description with some random ideas pulled out of communism or socialism, but read the manifesto and visit those sites. They will definitely answer any questions you may have. The best experiences are learning about things that you hate, but do not really know anything about. And more imprtantly, the info must come from a non biased site or a site that is for your topic. Ohterwise it may be false. I would not get info on capitalism from a communist site unless i had already found a trustworthy source and agreed with what the communist site said.
