What does democratic socialism do for Canada?
Democratic socialism, defined as a political movement that seeks to create a post-capitalist economy based on market socialism or economic planning, does not exist as a major political force in Canada.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are normally considered to be the creators of the socialist system. This was done based on the thoughts and ideas of many others
An economic system where goods and services are produced for use and decisions regarding investment and the allocation of factors of production are determined by decentralized planning, where management within organizations is democratic.

Are Unions ie UAW a concept of socialism?
The UAW is a veil for socialism. Unions had their place, but they're not needed anymore. The UAW has destroyed the big three. I say we let them fall. People aren't going to quit buying vehicles when GM is gone. The market will take care of itself. Other manufacturers will step up production or a new company may rise from the ashes of GM. Hopefully, a company not bound by the UAW.

What are the morals in the novel Animal Farm?
The main moral is "to avoid one evil one should take care not to fall into another"(the animals kicked the farmer out in hopes of a better life but became more miserable under the pigs).
Communism says that there is no such thing as equality in the farm/communism
Also the animals were told they were living a better life , however the fact is they were living in an illusion (like the North Koreans) and were in fact worse off than before.
At first it was democratic (Napoleon and Snowball) but after Napoleon's reign, the pigs under thought that their new freedom was getting taken away, so they slowly decided to dominate the other animals and took away their rights and made them more miserable than ever. The pigs who were the smarter animals of the revolution who kick out the human beings but after awhile become worse than those they replaced.
After the revolution is democracy (Napoleon and Snowball) and after the coup its dictatorship (Napoleon).
Also, Orwell's message was mainly power is very powerful. If you abuse your power, you may well lose it. Evidence is when Mr. Jones had total power over the farm, but he was ignorant, and lost his power. Napoleon also abused his power in many ways too.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of socialism?
- In environments with plentiful resources, socialism provides all members with their survival needs, creating a stable social environment.
- Members that cannot participate economically - due to disabilities, age, or periods of poor health - can still impart wisdom, emotional support and continuity of experience to the system.
- Freedom from work provides opportunity for some societal members to explore non-economically-productive pursuits, such as pure science, math and non-popular arts.
- Since there is no culling and no economic advantage to working harder, socialistic systems provide no inherent incentive to participate. This makes socialism internally unstable.
- Due to a lack of incentives, socialistic systems tend not to be competitive, making them externally unstable.
- In times of plenty, immigrants are drawn to the free resources offered by socialistic systems, while potentially adding nothing economically productive.
- In times of scarcity, resentment of non-economically-productive members of society increases, causing a destabilizing effect on the society and economy.

In socialism but in communism the government plays a strong role true or false?
Yes, I suppose that is true. But surely the government is supposed to do that in all forms of government. If the Government doesn't have a large influence on the economy of the state, however it is governed, what else is there for the government to do ? Do you suggest the economy should be outside the control of the government ? Because surely if it is what you are voting for is also beyond the control of your vote to influence.
-----TRUE
