I agree with Don T 100% on this:

"This is the major reason for the failure of every experiment in Communism.

Capital and Labour must get together in enlightened self interest and iron out what is the optimum wage structure to allow all workers a good standard of living while permitting the companies sufficient gains to maintain re-investment in improvements and reasonable profits."

However I do not agree with Don Firth on this:

"When Sawzaw and pdq try to use "socialism" as a pejorative"

I don't know about PDQ but I only quoted what people said with no comment. How is that using it as anything? You are trying to put a spin on it, not me.

LH: "loathing or your misunderstanding of socialism"

All I have said is give me a working example of a socialist country with some proof that it works.
