On October 7th, your corespondent Mervyn Cave pronounced firmly “when it comes to equality Socialism only ever achieves it by poverty for all” on page 6.
I don’t think Mr Cave has quite got the grasp of what Socialism is. The general idea is that we use our Government as a public Insurance broker. You Pay you Taxes and they
make sure all your Human needs are catered for. If they don’t you kick them out. A sound Idea. However Neo Liberal Capitalism is a GAME based on LUCK being rewarded and BAD LUCK puts you into reverse or out all together!
Oddly no one owns the planet we all share it, but we now have 98 unlucky percent of the Population living on crumbs and People like myself and Mr Cave on the top half of the 1 percent are telling them what to do. I just don’t find this level of tormenting to be a comforting thought. Also if you have money today there is no guarantee it won’t all be gone tomorrow.
New Zealand was a very successful Socialist Country and all of us older citizens did darn well out of it especially those who cashed in Farms and Businesses or got educated by the socialist system of yesteryear.
Recently a US cartoon in a Paper explained Socialism as lending money to strangers from someone else's pocket... But Really it’s taking money from Scrooge Mc Duck & his human cousin Donald Trump and Stimulating the Economy.
True Socialism is incredibly Powerful and remains our best tool for fixing overpopulation and unlucky Climate Change problems. Unlike tried and failed Greed, Hate & Violence.
