A Letter to my Socialist Friends and Colleagues

[ahunter3]

I say I'm not a socialist; I'm less than enthused when you want our group to affirm in one of its planks that we are.

You say, "I'm surprised and disappointed, Allan". You say, "I really would have thought that you'd be on the side of the poor and the working class. That you'd see that the system is rigged against them, unfairly. I never knew you

Of course, not all socialists are alike, and I hear your critique, I think many socialists dive too deeply into dogma & militarism and forget about their goals.

I simply want to share the world's resources and production more fairly. I'm open to suggestions about how we get from here to there. I'm willing to take baby steps. I'm willing to compromise. I'm willing to vote for Democrats, LOL. But my goal - what I call "green communism" is simply this - to live within our planetary means, and to share our produce more fairly.
