Hi donadams

Right! Which is not a bad thing, just by definition. Any program funded as a group that provides certain 'good' services to the group, is a good use of socialism in my book. However, the true definition of socialism also incorporates that all the production facilities to provide goods and services are under the control of a overarching group or government. So, this form of socialism that you're talking about, isn't really true socialism. It's just people helping people.

God bless,
Ted

Not necessarily bad with the exception that it is mandatory. Thanks
 
There is a housing crisis and no joke I even see it on the local page from the town I live, its not even very big, heaps of people in general need somewhere to live, mothers with children desperate for somewhere to live otherwise sleeping in cars, and like someone offers a nice spacious boat and government says no in the name of safety, like a woman and her kids living in a car on the side of the road is somehow better.
 
It's not like everyone follows the rules. There is probably 1000s of private agreements and people living in accomodation not up to government standard but both parties are happy.
 
It's like someone's got a 3 bedroom house and like I can help I got a 3 bedroom house, kitchen, shower, toilet, it's just not insulted.

Government says no.

Weanwhile woman and children have to sleep in vehicle or on street because got no other option not alowed to rent 3 bedroom house and woman gets blammed for child neglect sleeping in vehicle or on street.

No it's not. It's called welfare/a safety net. Socialists such as Marx and Lenin opposed welfare programs because it stifles revolution and the siezing od the means of production by the Workers and/or the Vanguard.

Welfare is part of social Democracy where Capitalist markets exist, but a state is there as a check. It was an answer to the failings of Marxism.

This is what you call stupidity. The government made all these rules around landlords being able to rent to tenants yet we have thousands and thousands of homeless.

I tell you the truth I live in own camper at the moment and there are people here at the park who are literally living in there cars, yet someone can't rent a boat or a shed?.

Traveller's buy and live in backpacker vans for years travelling the country, rental companies rent big campervans for people to travel and sleep in long term, and holiday parks rent caravans for people to sleep, yet someone can't rent a shed or a spacious boat on there private property when there is a housing crisis?.

Too much government interference. It should be a private agreement between private parties where and how they want to live.

Trade Me takes down Auckland lifestyle block boat rental

Located in Greenhithe, the boat promised potential tenants a TV, microwave, oven, separate toilet, pool and even a "performance stage."

You are on the right track, you can call a system anything you want. What you need to do (which I do believe you are doing) is figure out what is important to you and see how any system fits with it. What are the needs of yourself and the people? What avenues do you have to address these issues. If not who does and why?

Complaining about the state or capitalism is the simple layer. It's looking at how the mechanisms run and not allowing yourself to get dogmatic that helps in the long run.


Here in the US private property rights were a big part of the founding of the nation. The right of an individual or group to own and control their work outside a dogmatic entity such as a king or lord. This was based on enlightenment thinking. Marxism then addresses the next step down. What about the people who work for an owner? What is their say, do they not own their labor? Then dissenters of Marx and Lenin bring back ideas of liberalism and form a more mutal system where so iety needs to progress based on needs of the people rather than the needs of Ideaologes such as Adam's or Marx.


Interesting stuff.
 
The cities new Mayor?. Unfortunately he is not available for an interview to reflect on his first 100 days in office, a continuation of his unavailability for media interviews since he assumed office. Lol.
 
This world is perverted man. I mean it happens all the time, but yesterday I was going for a isolated walk along the beach with a friend, no one else around, and we was talking about a specific object, and what it was, and how someone found some and what it's worth, and today I get a FB suggestion talking about the same object, subject, and how someone cashed in on it.

You tell me that's just a coincidence and not a violation of privacy and they lie saying they don't spy on people.
 
Even the other day I got a voice message and it was me having a conversation with someone. I'm sure I didn't ring myself and even if I did I don't know how it come out that clear because my device is always in my pocket if I ain't using it.

That's just a sign they just let letting me know they watching and listening. Lol. Call it a conspiracy theory but the evidence leads me to be believe they want me to know that they know my every move and every word that comes out my mouth.
 
It might sound ridiculous but I think I might be on surveillance, even I'm like the most peaceful dude ever who just exposes crookedness. Then again Jesus done that and he got the a warning.
 
Thats quite amazing, i mean my device apparently rung myself and I randomly left a clear voice message for myself having a conversation. That's great.

I should probably ring myself back and say sorry I missed your call. Usually when someone does a very very seldom random call its not to themselves and recording there own conversation.
