"The concept of socialism is theortetically a good one"

No, it is not theoretically a good concept, it is intrinsically and unavoidably totalitarian. There is nothing beautiful or good about it at all.

I have a Jewish friend, in fact my best friend, who thinks the same. Even though he has figured out what the end result of socialism is, he continues to think the theory is beautiful. Well, it's beautiful to those who think of humanity as machine like or perhaps as hive insects.

Good points... I guess I mispoke... I should have said "utopian concept," rather than "good concept."

The theoretical result of a utopian society would be an end to want and depravation of any type. Again, the problem is that it is completely contrary to human nature.

And you're right... The only way to deliver on a "utopian society" would be through a totalitarian government. Or through the direct intervention of The Lord.
