Re: is socialism dead? and should we care?

Why do people get socialism and communism mixed up, socialism is basically provision of services based on need rather than ability to pay.

Communism is the equal sharing of products and capital.

Capitalism is the provision of these services based on competition.

(simplistic I know but..... I haven't even started on the collective ownership etc)

It is communism that has failed, not socialism. Socialism is alive and well in the free provision of education and healcare in this country and many others.
