So, I've been writing in a notebook which I've entitled "Socialismo",to help me study Socialism,and write down some ideas.

My first page deals with the Essentials of Socialism,or rather what Socialism must have.

Here is my list so far:

Practicallity/ Effectiveness/ Logicallity

Importance of individuality (recognistion of accomplishments) /aswell as society

Constantly improving/ Always moving towards a better society

Direct democracy/ participatory economics

up to date with technology/ high-standard of living/ accessability

Equal distrobution of wealth and property

A balanced system of justice.


If you would care to add or critize feel free.

Practicallity/ Effectiveness/ Logicallity


I am so relieved to hear someone say that, because that's the very reason why neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism fail. They focus to much on ideology, and less on practicality. The left needs to sit down and discuss who to implement socialism into today's modern capitalism. When you get a bunch of "Cargo cultist Leninists" as Ben Seattle would say, you get idiots who only further repress the teachings of Marxism.

The days of ideology are over, now is the time to be practical. The Leninists, Trotskyites, Maoists, and the rest of the "ists" and "isms" should get of there high horses and united under a single party, or single banner. A multiple party system is the greatest trick of capitalism, its to divide the people. Right now, more then ever we need to be practical and unite.
