“The Law” is a great book that most people have never read. I had to read it in PUBLIC SCHOOL in 1979 because we had a class that taught us why communism was bad and it was required for graduation back then.
Today, we get lectures on the nuances between Democratic Socialism and Socialism from school teachers.
From what I gather, the difference is that under Democratic Socialism, the productive people are expected to work as if there is no socialism and then happily give the fruits of their labor to the government so that it can give it to those who CHOOSE to be non-productive.
Democratic Socialism presents the illusion of choice “YOU voted for this!”.
It is like moderate Islamic theocratic government. It is ‘tolerant’ of dissenters until the numbers of majority are reached and then it isn’t.
