Para sa akin, ang sosyalismo ay ang ideolohiya ng pag-ibig. Kung pag-aaralan niyo ito ng mabuti, na walang halong bias at korupsyon and not minding the political and economic side of it, napakaganda ng goal nito.

I. Corruption Of Socialism


Alam niyo kasi, simula pa noong naging uso ang komunismo (isang uri ng sosyalismo) eh mabaho at masama na ang dating nito eh dahil sa propaganda ng mga Kapitalistang bansa na ayaw kumalat ang ganitong ideolohiya dahil baka mawala ang kanilang kontrol sa buong mundo.

Tapos, nagkaroon pa ng Soviet Communism... Ahh, the most corrupt and vile form of "socialism" you will see in history. Sadly, eto rin ang pinakaalam ng maraming tao dahil ito ang tinuturo sa mga schools instead of "true socialism".

Kaya kita niyo ngayon, napaka negative ng image ng mga activists, leftists, komunista man o progressive. Sa isip ng normal na tao itong mga ito ay mga maduduming mga halimaw na ang balak ay gawing dictatorship ang isang bansa.


II. The Ideology Of Love
Pero kung talagang pag-aaralan mo ito, makikita mo na ang tanging gusto lang ng mga sosyalista ay *ISANG PANTAY NA MUNDO KUNG SAAN LAHAT AY NAGKAKAISA AT NAGTUTULUNGAN aka THE COMMON GOOD. Ito ang essence ng socialism.

The moral pillars of socialism are freedom, equality and cooperation (kung titngnan niyo, halos pareho lang sa liberalism)

(* Ibig sabihin ng "pantay-pantay" ay equal rights, equal economic opportunities and equal political power. Wag niyo isipin na pagpantay-pantay eh pare-parehong damit, pagkain, etc. That is so boring)

I also think na ang "pure socialism" runs very well with the Christian way of Life. I have reason to believe that Our Lord Jesus was socialist. he preached of giving all our possesions and living as one... for the COMMON GOOD.

As I said, if you leave out the economic and political part and if you forget Marx or Mao and all the variations of "socialism", the morality in true socialism is fundamentally good.

III. Final Words

This is my personal view of socialism. I based it on my own beliefs pero I am heavily influenced by both utopians and soc-dems. Open ako sa lahat ng criticism, constructive man or deliberately evil. Basta ako ganito ang isip ko at hindi magbabago. Kaya asa nalang kayo

I am a very idealistic person. You might say na hindi posible ito dahil madadamot mga tao ngayon. Well, that is true pero I also believe that people are also naturally good. Pwede naman lahat tayo magtulungan for the COMMON GOOD diba? Companies can still make a profit while their workers reap the rewards of their labor. GUIDED COOPERATION lang talaga. You think this isn't possible... try to look at Europe, especially the welfare states in Sweden and Denmark. Kung kaya nila bat tayo hinde?

I agree with you dun sa may activists part. Pangit talaga ang stereotypes sa kanila.. sweatdrop Para naman dun sa mga tinuturo sa school, product yun ng "mass industry". Hindi ituturo ng mga agent smiths sa mundo ang isang bagay na alam nila ay magstrike back sa kanila. twisted

If I am not mistaken, Socialism is really a good ideology. It is the most equal one at dito talaga napatutupad ang "majority". Hindi lang yung basta basta majority ha? yung strict talaga na fifty percent plus one.

wala namang may sabi na kailangan "magrelocate" ng wealth eh. Siguro kung talagang napakagahaman at kurakot talaga eh talagang kailangan gawin yan. Mas importante ang class cooperation kaysa sa class struggle.

sige since nabanggit mo na rin, genuine equality will never be a reality. Pero, maari rin naman mag co-exist benefically ang mga tao eh. Yun nga lang, mahaba-haba nga lang talaga ang proseso para mangayari ito.

Still, hindi nman masama to speculate and think about it diba?

Socialism in its barest essence is good but you need to realize that not everything up there in the clouds is good there are lot of real world factors to consider. Resource is not unlimited. Socialsm would be good if resources is abound but it is not that is why competition sets in, different interest arises because those ends they seek are scarce. And I do not agree with equality but I agree with equal opportunity.

it's the thought that counts

pero philippines is a country brimming with resources. tubig na lang man. i have foreign relatives who got shocked when my dad said that you can draw water with just 3-5 m of digging at any point, basta dito sa pinas. sa kanila daw kasi 10 m na, wala ka pang nadadali.
