Socialism doesn't wor-

Man, in the 20th century we developed change that Keynes referenced in his General Theory.

In the 21st century we developed change that was based on The General Theory and went against The General Theory.

You tell me when we were smarter.

Shitload of oil and a population of only 4 million is the idea that he a ran a generous welfare state really so far fetched?

Mosts communists would argue that socialism is not the same as social democracy. This difference in definition fucks up a lot of discussions.

All roads of socialism lead to communism. Government power will expand if it can, and what sorta works under socialism will be used as an argument for total socialism (communuism).

Yes, it works when you have a shit load of oil money to go around.

On a global level socialism can only work if we've got robots digging on asteroids and completely automated manual labor.
Can you autists please stop trying to make us poor before post-scarcity happens on it's own thanks to capitalism.

>-No one "owns" any land.
Reinstituting commons would be the necessary step. In a day and age where companies actually "own" drinking water that would be a tough nut to crack.

Without some kind of evidence, yes.

If things were so great under him, emwhy was he overthrown?

>muh foreign CIA terrorists

Doesn't answer the question as surely they'd be shouted down the minute they start trying to stir up trouble or flat out over ran by pro government forces superior numbers.

You say that like the CIA doesn't have a history of overthrowing popular, democratically elected governments.

Hmmmmmm.......

>pro government forces superior numbers.
The air campaign, remember?
Qaddafi had crushed the small uprising in the north east, then HATO intervened and it took the seven months (with all that all support) to actually defeat the fucking Libyans*, because that is how long it took to funnel every Jihadist they could find into Libya.

*Libya, the country that was beaten by Chad.

The promise of money and/or power can make anyone do anything.

So Libya is just like the average burger.

The pro-Gaddafi propaganda saying how great he was and how wonderful life was, would put his popularity and support WAY in advance of any other deposed leaders

How did a small uprising begin in the first place if Gaddafi was litterally Jesus with sunglasses? Why didn't the entire male population join up and drown the jihadists in blood for their beloved leader?

But they already had plenty of money because God-King Gaddafi gave them a trillion dollars a week.

Begone cuckold! And don't you dare to come back!

No, there is always a threshold of private ownership over the means of production, as well as a dozen other institutional hurdles that need to be overcome. Worst slippery slope argument I've ever seen.

>How did a small uprising begin in the first place
Criminals and terrorist who have evil in their hearts.

ITT people who don't know what socialism or communism is

Yeah, but they're a small part of the population. If a group of Labour supporters tried to violently overthrow Theresa May, do you think the British population would just not react?
