Betrayed, not failed! (Miscellaneous)

See my other post answering S. (here) - the paragraph starting with "No, by those dreams I mean...".

Nothing is far from the truth. Socialism succeeded, but it was betrayed from inside - read the book "Socialism Betrayed" by Roger Keeran and Thomas Kenny to understand why and how. It's a scientific book.

Capitalism failed to provice a just society, is long since obsolete, and will be inevitably replaced by socialism (ours was just the beta version!). Some advanced countries like China (already the world's biggest economy!) do it now, with great success!

Everything that's happened was not so unexpected. The socialist planned economy is much more complex to control than the market chaos. Keeran and Kenny compare the planned and the "market" economy to an airplane and a raft, respectively. The raft always floats, but it's primitive. It's enough that the pilot in the airplane is a bad one and voila - it crashes! :-(

> It's perhaps heroism in a society that restricts freedom of speech, but not here.
You too lack true freedom of speech. Nobody will give media exposure to someone or something "politically incorrect" (an euphemism for censorship).

It's interesting what Zinoviev told: In socialism, you can curse your own boss but not the state boss. In capitalism, you can curse the state boss but not your own boss.

P.S. Robert, I couldn't use the abbreviated form of linking to a forum post, even though I read your introductory post. Please explain once more how it's done.
