One does not have to be a very insightful observer to realize that modern societies are heading towards socialism, with states growing increasingly and becoming much more totalitarian than they already are, encompassing all aspects of people's lives and achieving a kind of omnipresence from which no one can escape, but what we usually ignore is the reason why this is so, for some time I believed it was so because the people who are ruling, behind the politicians, are actively pushing a socialist agenda to have complete control over society, and although I still believe this is one of the reasons, the truth is that it seems to me that, just because of the way modern states are constituted, we are already condemned to address increasingly socialist societies.
I mean, you just have to look at the parliament, which is a body made up of hundreds of people who work all year round with the only purpose of growing the State, with a power that is solely in charge of making more laws and giving it more competences to the State and with no organism directed to counteract it taking away powers and faculties from it, it is inevitable that it will become bigger and bigger. This generates an imbalance, and makes the State, regardless of the politicians in power, have their sights set on growing and becoming, little by little, a socialist State, whether it be nationalist (nazism) or internationalist (marxism/communism).
That is the next logical step for modern nation states, and it is what will inevitably happen if people remain passive observers of their own destinies, submissively agreeing to be mere toys of a greater power that reigns over their heads, and so it will be unless something is done, the State by nature is responsible for taking away freedoms from people to guarantee their a pretended security, this means that the State will continue to reduce people's freedoms until they do something, because otherwise nothing will change, it is in the nature of all things grow and reproduce, the State will continue to grow until someone stops this process, and that someone must necessarily be the people, that is to say, the politicians will not change anything because it is not beneficial to them, any reduction in the size of the State is a reduction in its power, and therefore, a loss for them. We cannot expect the water to run up the hill, as they say, the change cannot be from top to bottom, but must be the opposite.
We are moving in the wrong direction, we are heading towards a dead end and when we get there we will undoubtedly have to go back to get out of there and not get stuck, I would like to say that the path society is taking is surprising, but the reality is that it's not, the truth is that most of the countries of the world already live in a kind of more or less covert socialism, what will happen in the future, if we do nothing to change it, it is the increase of everything that we currently have.

6 extremely difficult to read sentences and a photo taken from google (which isn't congruent with the post) is already overvalued at $22. No, I will not follow, upvote, and "resteem" this spammy hive post.
Not everyone has to have the same opinion as you, and you are free to do what you want, just like everyone else.
Also, the photo is not taken from Google, at the end of the post I put the source, it is CC0.
Jesus Christ, it's 2020 and you are not only entangled it ideologies but also add pic of hammer and sicle to the post about socialism xD
Embarrassing that these 6 runon sentences are trending on Hive. The real content goes uncurated just like it always has on Steem.
'a strange game. the only way to win is not to play.'
Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
The banking collapse will reset things back to sanity (the financial collapse is a mathematical certainty, so don't worry)
Central banking creates a socialist state (and mindset).
It's all gonna change.
'You can ignore realty', as they say, 'but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality..'
The fact is, without a properly functioning economy (sound money and thus an efficient price discovery mechanism) everything will collapse around it.
It's gonna get messy (a century of insidious socialism) , but revert to sanity it must.
It's more about math and physics, than ideology.
The losers just can't see it yet.(or are too mentally ill to be able see reality)
Agree. This system does not stand alone, also, the banks, through debt, end up owning most of the companies, having a monopoly on the means of production and turning the bankers into a small State (which is just a group of people after all), and transforming the nation into a de facto socialist state.
Banks' bankruptcy is more than normal. State tax systems should be improved.
Everything will change in the future, but it is very difficult for socialism to rule the world...
It is difficult because the rulers would have to do more and more things.
I am waiting for everything to change.
You are waiting for everything to change. So what do you think will happen when everything changes?
We will have new problems I guess :)
Like what?
People need to get more education and focus on educating themselves. A mind focused on fear and petty things has no energy to think anymore. Therefore the lack of attitude and the obeying trend of the masses.
Right.
👍
Socialism has been a horrible disaster for the people of every country that has implemented it.
That's right, the problem is that it continues to be implemented, I suppose we don't learn from history.
Well said, I agree that it looks like a socialist takeover is happening now, adding to the already socialist state we are in, even if hidden as capitalism and democracy. The totalitarian model is on its way to a state near you.
Yeah, I think that those who govern don't really care what people call them, they can call it capitalism if they want, but that will not change reality. It's even better that way because it fools the clueless. Labels have repeatedly proved useless in politics.
What a bizarre system we live in. Post truth and post names.
