Socialism is not the same as communism.
Communism, as organised by Lenin and Stalin, was an extremist (Kosher Nostra) doctrine, not much different from fascism; with the original Soviet and Chinese Communism , a rich elite treated the ordinary people as slaves.
Hitler, like Tony Blair, was used by the 'right wing' to smash socialism. Hitler got his thugs to beat up socialists.
In 1904, Australians elected the first Australian Labor Party prime minister: Chris Watson, who became the first democratically elected social democrat.

In the 1990s, the British Labour Party, under Tony Blair, continued the policy of transferring wealth from the ordinary people to the rich elite.
The game of Monopoly comes to an end when one player has a monopoly.
"The world's wealthiest 62 people own as much as the poorest half of the planet's population."
"The richest 1% now own as much as everyone else put together."
global inequality. The current economic crisis is easily solved if we adopt a more socialist approach.
The report shows that the UK economy would have been more than 20% bigger had the gap between rich and poor not widened since the 1980s.
The OECD proposes higher taxes on the rich and policies aimed at increasing the wealth of the bottom 40% of the population.
Reagan and Thatcher supported 'trickle-down economics', the crazy idea that ordinary people would benefit from weakening trade unions and making bankers richer.
J P Morgan The OECD report shows that:
1. "Income inequality has a sizeable and ... negative impact on growth."
2. "Inequality ... hampers growth."
"The world's wealthiest 62 people own as much as the poorest half of the planet's population."
"The richest 1% now own as much as everyone else put together."
The game of Monopoly can go on for ever, so long as the rich 0.01% do not end up controlling all the properties, houses, hotels and cash.
The game of Monopoly can also go on for ever, so long as you are allowed to borrow money.
You land on 'Mayfair' where your opponent has hotels.
You haven't got enough cash, so you borrow from 'the bank', which has limitless money.
Each time you pass 'Go' you pay 5% on your borrowing.
If your opponent lands on your hotels on 'Oxford Street', you then have enough money to pay back the money borrowed from the bank.
Of course, if your opponent has far more properties and hotels than you, you will end up with growing debts.
But, the bank always allows you to borrow more money.
So the game goes on for ever.
The game only ends if:
(1) the rules are changed so that there is a limit to borrowing
(2) and, one player has far more properties, hotels and cash than the other and the dice are generally in his favour.

Of course, if the USA fails to get its house in order, the dollar will go down in value and ordinary people become much poorer.
We should all look at Switzerland, which is made up of a number of counties (cantons).

There is a continuing mind control programme to persuade the voters that the rich deserve to be rich and that the poor deserve to be poor.
There is a continuing mind control programme to persuade the voters that taxes on the rich must not be raised and that the moderate socialist policies in Scandinavia are a bad thing.
"Income tax was raised to one shilling on incomes above £2,000; those earning over £5,000 would pay an additional super tax at six pence in the pound on income above £3,000.
"Only 25,000 people earned above £3,000 and those liable for super tax numbered around 10,000."
Some of the money raised from tax was diverted towards buying the weapons of war used in the 1914-18 conflict.

It has been argued that during the 19th century, the family possessed by far the largest private fortune in the world, and by far the largest fortune in modern history.
