It's probably worth remembering that Aneurin Bevin, and Adolph Hitler both called themselves socialists, so it's a pretty uncertain thing.


Don, I had you down as someone who didn't repeat old tired cliches.

First- learn to spell Adolf. A,D,O,L,F, Adolf.
Two, read about the history (which most moderately informed people have bothered to do) of Socialism, Corporatism, Syndicalism, National Socialism, Social Darwinism, Anarchism, Communism and related topics.

And don't quote William Brown's father from 1921 about "what would happen if we shared out the wealth".

And of course what is meant by Socialism has developed over the last 150 years. Quite a bit.

As for the remuneration for responsibility, I wonder why anyone is a nurse or a teacher when people get thirty times the salary for gambling with other people's money? Leaders are useful, innovators are a good thing, but they aren't superhuman, and they can't eat fifty dinners a day.
