I don't share the negative view of humanity posted recently. All the evidence, from the Blitz and before, and continuing to present day emergencies, shows the opposite.
Yes, but you are talking about individuals with kindness, morality and a willingness to help others. People are kind generally, but most of us have experience of power causing corruption or selfishness, even at low levels. Almost every committee I have sat on has had a mixture of people who tend to form splinter groups, wanting different things and employing different methods of attaining them, some underhand and hush-hush. Momentum, which controls Labour has already split the party. The moderates are scorned (publicly) and threatened with deselection if their less radical, less hard-left views are aired. It's "My Way or the Highway" with Momentum, and I believe that's where socialism fails.
Even the ideal of socialism isn't brilliant. People do need to strive and have goals. What is the point of working hard if all rewards are equal? We'd all choose the path of least resistance. However, those who make the rules tend to have a coterie of people around them who enjoy the finer things in life, and have military forces at their disposal too, to ensure everyone falls in line. Look at the reports of torture, unfair imprisonment and death in Socialist Venezuela for speaking out or protesting. The reports POGS has posted make the blood run cold. They are well worth reading.
And Corbyn, Abbot, McDonnel and the awful Chris Williamson et al, our own hard left socialists, support this regime, in an effort to thwart and demonise the UK's ally, the USA.
"Let's have a dialogue" is all the UK far left will offer. It's a bit like fiddling while Rome burns. Much as Trump is disliked, and we are aware of oil riches, the Venezuelan regime is murderous, inept and corrupt and has brought the country to its knees. The inaction and lack of condemnation of fellow UK socialists/the Labour Party, is revealing.
They must never govern the UK.
