Why is the left pushing the idea of socialism/comunism so much even tho it showed that it doesn't work many times in the past?
I feel a capitalist society can be dangerous and selfish if given too much power. Specially when such society gets controlled by few conglomerate of private players. Socialism leads to equality and does not let power into private players. Indeed a good government is required to beer fruits from socialist society. Socialism , beside taking care of equality also takes care of price fluctuation, inflation and keeps a check on unemployement.
