Or, you know, socialize risks, socialise profits. I don't know why we would have to put up with this abuse and corruption any longer.

It's precious that you think a socialized system wouldn't be rife with corruption.

  • You only really have two options there:

    - a system of lords and peasants, where the lords are held accountable and kept in check by the peasants, as the social contract obliges, or - a system of lords and peasants, with no checks and balances

    Obviously, corruption can creep in any system, but the one that states "let's give it all to the lords with nothing in return" seems asinine to me.
