I have posted this in philosophy because at its root that is what it is, a philosophy. It just happens to have an economic and political element to it.

I am a socialist. I dont think in my limited posting I have made that a secret. I know there is a vast field, like any amongst this belief. The purpose of the thread is to see where we stand in this forum, assuming some of you are or lean that way, and to discuss (and I imagine argue) where it is and should go.

I have alot of ideas, I am actually writing something on it in my spare time. here are some questions to get us going.

Is there still a need for revolution? If so can the gap be fixed that has allowed so many to hijack the revolution for thier own means (dictatorship of capitalism)?

Is it time to retire the name socialism due to the associations with Kimism (non revisionist), Stalinism, etc that it conjures even though they are not true socialism or communism. I have reason to do this anyway due to changes I'm making in my "Version" of socialism.

Perhaps, violent revolution is not the way, but that slow change vis the political system is not either.

What of the complete abolition of money?

I caqnt post more this very minute due to Work, but I will be back..
