    Socialism, however, ensures that the poor are able to receive money by limiting the amount of money that a person can make and giving the excess to the needy. Although this would sound ideal to an immigrant who has been taken advantage of in every way imaginable, this would create an idle society, something that is warned against in the book of Matthew when Jesus spoke about the Parable of the Bags of Gold. When one of the servants did nothing to increase the amount of gold that was entrusted to him, “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?’ ” (Matthew 25:26).

This lends to the debate of different socialists organizations within America and which would be best suited for the job of establishing a new socialistic America. To which, if one is found, would that form of socialism be successful to preserving democracy and maintaining a non-radical stance to power and control unlike past socialist regimes? Socialism in itself is of public concern; socialism is making resurgence back into American politics, this ideology has not been a competing opponent to typical political parties in America since the early 20th century.

  • Socialism And Capitalism In Harrison Bergeron, By Kurt Vonnegut

    1237 Words  | 5 Pages

    “Harrison Bergeron,” written by Kurt Vonnegut at the time of the Cold War, is a short story that takes place in a future world of the year 2081 where the Handicapper General and the law force the beautiful to wear masks, the intelligent to wear earpieces that disrupt their thoughts, and the athletic to wear heavy physical restraints, so that everyone may be equal in the categories of beauty, intelligence, and athleticism; a world where the people “[are] equal in every which way.” (Vonnegut 1) What the many readers of “Harrison Bergeron” seem to misinterpret is that the entire story is an allegory to the political systems of Socialism/Communism and that Vonnegut utilizes symbols in the story that either expose the glaring flaws of left-wing politics or advance the supposedly far-superior ideology of American capitalism. In actuality, Vonnegut’s use of symbols in “Harrison Bergeron,” and the entire story itself is a satire of the common American’s ignorant misunderstandings of left-wing politics at the time of the Cold War. Vonnegut once said at a college commencement speech, “I suggest that you work for a socialist form of government … It isn 't moonbeams to talk of modest plenty for all.

    Nobel Prize winning economist, F.A. Hayek, in his book The Road to Serfdom, published in 1944 addresses the topic of the rise of socialism in the West, and argues that it must be stopped to keep the United States, United Kingdom, and other Western democracies from ending up like Nazi Germany. Hayek argues that many of the same developments and thought processes that opened the door for totalitarian socialism, be it “Right” National Socialism or fascism in Germany and Italy, or “Left” Stalinist communism in the Soviet Union can be seen in the West, but they are developing much slower and can still be reversed. He says that desire for economic collectivism, has risen in the West but its effects can be seen in these centralized totalitarian

    Capitalism and Socialism are types of systems throughout the world in different societies that have had their successful periods of time, but did not show to have the same success at other times during the course of history. Socialism’s theoretical essence says that ownership of property should be in the government’s hands meaning that government has more rights in the assets than individuals do while Capitalism gives to the individuals the right of property, creating a better society since the individuals can produce and purchase as they need to. Capitalism is the political and economic system where land, factories, companies, etc. are owned privately to produce profit for those who own them.

  • Karl Marx And Capitalism Essay

    1269 Words  | 6 Pages

    Writings of Karl Marx had formed the theoretical basis for communism and the continual debate against capitalism. Marx understood capitalism to be a system in which the means of production are privately owned and profit is generated by the sale of the proletariat’s labour. He considered it to be an unfair exploitation of hard work with alienated social interactions and purpose. I agree with Marx that capitalism is indeed unfair and alienating, because it concentrates wealth within a small group of people by exploiting the surplus value of workers’ labour, and creates an alienated workforce. Hence, this essay will first discuss the relevance of Marx’s perception of capitalism as an alienating and unfair system for the contemporary world, before examining the potential of governments to influence the extent of alienation and unfairness that occurs.

  • Karl Marx's Approach To Social Inequality

    926 Words  | 4 Pages

    It is argued that social inequality occurs because of the conflict between the upper-class and the working-class, or as Marx defines it, the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. Based on the Manifesto of the Communist Party (Marx and Engels, 1848), the divergence emerges because the aim of the Bourgeoisie is to obtain a surplus-value that is produced by the work of the Proletariat. On the other side, the Bourgeoisie provides the Proletariat with the minimum required, such as a place to live and a minimum wage, in order to keep the society under control and avoid a rebellion. However, Marx did predict a revolt of the working-class that would eventually lead to a communist regime. When it comes to applying this theoretical approach to reality, it is evident to notice that no global revolt in regards to capitalism has occurred.

    Once Marin Luther King expressed, “Our social welfare system is so much more than just charity. Everyone must help, whether you are rich or poor. Everyone must have the belief that there’s always someone in a much worse situation than I am, and this person I want to help as a comrade”. Martin Luther King’s statement holds true that social welfare and health care should be the act of providing something for someone who does not have it.
