I like the mario kart analogy to socialism, those at the back get more help.
In much of the world today we see the exact opposite, to quote Edgar Bronfman



And to expand on that, to turn $100 to $1 million is practically impossible.

Also the only antisemitism I've ever seen on here has come from people who are definitely not left wing.

Yeah I think I understand what socialism is and its 100% record of increasing rather than decreasing people's wealth health and Liberty.
It's all very well quoting theorists about something which hasn't been tried yet, but socialism has been tried in various places for well over a century, and it's left millions dead in its wake without improving anything.

I don't think it matters all that much at the point because it's now been pretty much universally rejected and there's no danger of another labour government for as long into the future as we can imagine.

I don't want to start up the whole anti semitism thing here again, but my experience is that leftist posters are the ones who've defended or condoned it.
