Socialism can work, but the chances of there ever being a suitably altruistic leader are minimal.

  • How does socialism work when you're given equal wages for unequal work?

  • That's not a reason for it not to work? It's a reason for people to consider it unfair. Big difference.

  • No, I do mean to say that equal wages for unequal work would result in reduced functionality and efficiency. Few people are going to work at regular capacity knowing they get paid the same anyway.

  • Yeah that question mark was meant to be a full stop. Not really though, you back up your equal work policies with corporal punishment for slacking

  • Except it wouldn't be slavery. Slaves are a degraded section of a society. If the whole society is under those rules then technically it's not slavery. Further, slavery is defined as being one persons control over another. If the government is the one making the rules then again, it's not slavery. Servitude. But that's legal.
