If corrupt politicians cause Socialist paradises to become dystopian then you have to either invent honest politicians or use a system of government that does not become dystopain from corrupt politicians. And since there are no honest politicians no one should be advocating for socialism, even by your own estimate of the situation.

No matter how corrupt and unfair you think the capitalist system is, there is no denying that even the poor live better in capitalist countries than in corrupt socialist ones.

The rigged government and their rigged rules and rigged laws are written by the riggers to favour themselves.

Until people stop swallowing their bullshit then they will always have the upper hand.

No one should be advocating for socialism OR capitalism.

I'll deny it!

I could cite until the cows come home and prove nothing.

Am I a socialist - or capitalist? Fuck both of them. I am neither!

Balance and fairness is required, not division.

And your solution is for you to become the rigger. Brilliant. I pity the fools who would follow you. Power corrupts. Anyone who thinks they will invent a government lead by benevolent beings needs to pick up a history book. The closest we have ever gotten to such a thing is the United States constitution.

There is nothing balanced or fair about taking from one person to give to another.
