Are all Socialists/left wingers delusional, unrealistic or just plain stupid? Discuss

[Johnny Bognor]

This human nature - is it the same human nature that must have existed throughout many hundreds of thousands of years of history when everyone had to band together to save one another from an attack from a lion; in other words human beings had to cooperate and join together to fight off common enemies; or is it the human nature of the last few hundred years of capitalism which has crystalised into this current Thatcherite me only business. Imagine me only fighting the lion!

 

 

Hey Blinkered Dog, not quite the last few hundred years. What about the Roman empire, crushing other people in persuit of power and wealth? If we go a bit further back, we can look at the Egyptians and how they used slaves to build their pyramids, in the name of power and wealth. Sorry, but you can't put all of the ills in the word down to capitalism, when humans have been ****s to each other since the beginning of time. Life is actually more fair now than is was in the past.

You forget the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Videos like this make me feel so proud. As the great Cecil Rhodes said "Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life".
