Socialsim does not require centralized control... Worker managed economy.
We've seen that, GM. It's failing.
Also, name a nation that operates under this glorious scheme? There isn't one.
Ownership of the enterprise can take various forms of worker co-ops, and planning is done in a democratic manner. That is pretty much socialism in a nut shell, and it is not centralized. The workers direct the economy not the state... Full centralized socialism has proven to fail.
And workers cannot "run the system" because, guess what, it fails.
You do realize there are many forms of socialism, right?
Yep, and each one is fail.
What do i want America to "progress too"? More just society,
How is it "unjust" now? (I'm actually curious and not being a jerk here.
more respect for human rights,
Uhm, we're the most human rights recognizing nation on the planet...
That requires criminals to behave.
one where you have the right to education,
That's impossible. You can have to access education, but a "Right" to education places an obligation on another. Thus it is not a Right.
You have the right to work, I'm confused as to this one.
You have the right to access healthcare, you do not have a right to have others provide you healthcare. Again, it is not a Right if it confers an obligation upon others to provide you the means to exercise said right. For example, you have the Right to Bare Arms, but this doens't mean other pay for your guns and ammo. You have the Right to Free Speech, but you cannot ask others to provide you a venue for it.
Go buy a house, no one is stopping you. Unless you are again saying OTHERS must provide you a house, that is no longer a Right, its forcing other people to give you something so that you can have it. That's not a Right.
One where workers have more say in the economy and decisions that affect them.
Which doens't exist in the world because it's a silly pipe dream.
I want in to progress to democratic socialism...
Utopian fail. You want a country where other people are forced to work to provide you with things you're too lazy to provide for yourself.
THAT is the definition of a Progressive Democrat Socialist. "Selfish"
