Through history what has been the community in socialist countries? The government. The community is just a "prettier" word, but the community needs a "controller", and that would be the state.

If he wanted to refuse the renewal for that he should have done it in 2002, when blacking out coverage of the counter coup would have been the only legal grounds for doing so. His reason instead was their refusal to air his marathon speeches, and no full explanation for the license matter was ever given.
The blackout may well have been an infringement on free speech itself, the call for protests, free commercial air time for the anti-chavez movement, and fawning of coverage from its leaders is biased programming, but it's far the level of treason you're suggesting. If our govenment followed that logic talk radio here in the US, and Fox News would be done pretty quickly.
So Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao are of the people? I have a really hard time seeing that. The fact remains also that in the countries where this socialist system has been tried, the people have always wounded up with no rights, and all the rights are given to the government. So how can you say that it is the opposite way around?
The community are always the people, but it needs to be controlled or run by someone, and that would be the government, and when all the power is transferred to the community, who is in charge of the communities? The state, and what will in the end get all this power? THE STATE!
Because if that is the case, it's not a socialist run system where private persons can finance their own way. That's looked upon by socialists as a capitalist system.
You realize that the operation of a private business was a constitutional right in the Soviet Union, yes? It's getting rich for no other reason then manipulating money, oppressing the working class, rising by stepping on the backs of others and working for nothing but capital profit rather then the profit of a better society that we socialist have a problem with. Capitalism itself isn't the issue, it's needed for socialism to work.
You also realize that Stalin murdered farmers who didn't want to give their land to the state?
No, no one needs a controlling system for any society to work. Why is it unfair if you earn more than I do? Should your chances in life be limited, even if you compared to most other have worked harder and studied harder? There is no society without classes, we will always, whether we like it or not, be different.

Ironically he was the 1 that added that to the Soviet Constitution.

Nothing wrong with you having more money then me. You could have a $ billion more then me so long as you didn't steal, oppress or otherwise cheat other to get that money.
But then if that's your view on society, your views are not socialist. Your views are actually capitalist.
:giggle: I take it you've not yet realized my view are likely as conservative as your own? I am a socialist but I tend turn into a dirty rightist when the discussion shifts away form pure economics and into politics, ethics, ect. You'll learn, you'll learn.
My advice to you is to stay there, once you turn into a true conservative, you never want to go back.
I used to be so conservative as to be fascist. don't think the Right is a safe place for me.
Fascism is much more similar to socialism, so being a conservative believing in true economic liberty is the best human ideology.
If you think fascism is similar to social democracy, I wouldn't mind agreeing with you.
I think we're off topic...
Well the thread is made about a country that is probably one of the most discussed ideological leftist countries at the moment. So discussing what this actually is, is that so off topic?
