"Capitalism is the exploitation of man by his fellow man, in socialism, it is the other way around."

an old line, but it hits close to the truth.

" In real socialism there is no state, no centralised bureaucracy, and no classes because there is common ownership and free access to all goods and services." .....piffle! Talk about pie-in-the-sky! Unless you have a way to control minds, you will **ALWAYS** have some who seek to be 'more equal then others'. Free access works until some commodity is in short supply...and when ISN'T that happening?
    We can't even provide food and housing 'equally', and we couldn't MAKE them equal even if all the rich folks agreed give up their position,,the problems of measurement and distribution would not allow it.

   Did you ever try to divide a piece of cake between three kids, each of which is sure the others are getting the biggest slice? Make that gasoline, or street paving, or health care and just watch 'socialism' become anarchy in about 17 minutes flat!

sheesh!@
