Corbyn wants to bring socialism back. Why?

It doesn't work. It never has. It is a very desirable utopian idea. I would love the human race to be socialist. We could all get along fine. Everyone would be equal. Everyone would share with those with less.

Humans are not like that though. If your lazy neighbour won't cut his lawn, you will not cut it for him, because he's lazy. So everyone is not the same.

However, if he washed your car while you cut his grass, that's fine.

But he's lazy. So he won't.

People are different. Some are rich and greedy (fat Sam? type) whilst others are poor and giving (Mother Theresa? type).

That is why socialism won't work. If everyone thought the same, it would work, but we don't. And if you enforce it, you're back to square one.

 


Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

It's 2016 & frankly embarrassing that people still hold these outdated views. Corbyn is a dinosaur.

He wants to set up a Trabant car factory to replace all the Japanese firms leaving the UK after Brexit. What a knobber.

Hoof, I'll let you carry on showing yerself up mate.
If you don't want to counter argument unless it's ad hominem, that's your prerogative.

You've posted that pyramid up on here countless number of times too Gusset.... it's largely ignored by the regular posters on here and yet again shows you ripping off others' material instead of creating your own stuff.

If your memory and/or talents aren't that good to remember what you have or haven't posted start writing things down or keeping a log.

He still thinks it's the 1970's I believe.

Last year he was talking about re-opening the south wales coal fields!

... and for stupidity backing the protesters against fracking simultaneously!

Prize plum.

Prize plum.

The UK consumed 37.8 million tonnes of coal in 2015, including 29.3 million tonnes in power stations.
Coal imports to the UK were 25.5 million tonnes. So we produce a quarter of the coal we consume.

Seems to me there is a market, no?

As Gusset says, have a pop ad hominem at Corbyn but please don't let facts get in your way.

Everyday you yourself experience and see others too benefiting from the success stories of ongoing socialism.

It's not an outdated concept.

Plenty of fvck ups, sure, but plenty of good stuff too.

Free education, for example.

Brought in by non-socialist nineteenth-century governments.

Wants a nuclear free world.
Wants total peace and a world free of war.
Will appoint a Minister for Peace.
Wants uncontrolled immigration,as we have currently.
Wants a minimum universal credit for all the population and a minimum rate of £10 per hour.
No clear picture as to how he will defend Britain, or finance his outrageous spending plans.
Wants power,but in my view, is doomed to the history book of failure.

I've never seen it summarised better! Good post

Socialism as a concept? Maybe

However Corbyn and Momentum have spent the last 3 months distancing themselves from the achievements of Blair:

Written off up to 100 per cent of debt owed by poorest countries
Introduced the National Minimum Wage
Scrapped Section 28 and introduced Civil Partnership
Free TV licences for over-75s
£200 winter fuel payment to pensioners & up to £300 for over-80s
Funding for every pupil in England has doubled
Free nursery places for every three and four-year-olds
Free fruit for most four to six-year-olds at school
Free breast cancer screening for all women aged between 50-70
All full time workers now have a right to 24 days paid holiday
Dads now get paternity leave of 2 weeks for the first time

He was apparently Tory Light.
