Socialism will never work because it’s founded on emancipation, and you can’t force people to emancipate themselves. That would be the opposite of emancipation.

I’m not sure if this is a quote, I can’t remember where I heard it.

"Emancipation" in this case meaning emancipation from wage slavery.

    As opposed to the current system where we don't have enough doctors or teachers, and let's face it, the prices that plumbers charge suggest there aren't enough of those either. If free market economics were accurate, prices would tumble if there were more of them, right?

    I think you may be confusing socialism with communism.

    Delete my comment because I guess my understanding isn't as concrete as I'd like it to be.

    Isn't socialism just the way to get to communism?
