Is there an alternative to capitalism? : Comments
By Sam Ben-Meir, published 12/10/2017One would think that perhaps we would keep an open mind regarding alternatives; instead of buying the tired old argument that anything else must either lead to totalitarianism, or be incurably utopian.

Socialism has not failed. In fact, not only does it refuse to die, it's gaining ground worldwide, especially in the West, as capitalism degenerates into corruption, gross inequality and financial chaos.
Countless millions have died, and continue to die, in wars of aggression by capitalists determined not to let socialism succeed in any country on any level. Socialist countries are also subject to draconian financial wars of aggression (sanctions and embargoes) and propaganda wars of aggression to create instability and affect regime change.
'Failed' is not the same as 'not being allowed to succeed'.

The UK had a political party called 'Respect', headed by George Galloway - a socialist. It disbanded in 2016 because it didn't want to take political space away from the rise of Labour's Jeremy Corbyn (another socialist) and the subsequent almost 3-fold increase in Labour party membership under Corbyn's socialist leadership.
