Why Socialism?β€” Wikipedia.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.

You saw we a lot in your comment, but its a certain kind of person that is attracted to money and power. Not everyone.

Many would be completely fine to have enough money for a good life without luxary. The endless greed is not that common. It's a mental disorder.

So what shall we do? Find out who it is and kill them? It is true that not everyone is like that but certain people are in certain positions for no reason. It suits them. The circumstances fit for them. Ruleing is effortful but often not rewarding. Powergreedy people profit from the effort. So ruleing leads never the less to having at some point again some powergreedy people who break the system down to get them to profit even more. We won't easily get around it.

Also I am happy to find a discussion partner. So I like it that you comment a lot. Makes ground for nice discussions:)
