Hahnel

So socialism is gearing up for a comeback..... alrighty, i'll believe it when I see it. Socialist Democrarts as they so label themselves, are so optimistic. Hahnel says that they need to stop regressing and move forward with positive changes to the current capitalist system. The notion is put forth that once everyone comes to the light and realizes the glory of saving the environment and contributing their wages to the greater good then socialism will take root.

A focal point in the article is that capitalism spawns greed. I disagree. Some people are really nice and would be happy to give away half their paycheck to help support the homeless, working poor, etc. I'm sorry but I am not one of those people. I work forty hours a week in constrution during the summer. I am not about to see the cash I work hard for to be just thrown at someone that may not even be working at all. Its not greed, its just life.
