You are implying that socialism is incompatable with democracy? (or theoretical comunism for that matter)

Since we've yet to see true examples of either then it's hard to say.

Socialism works with a free economy in a infrastructure advanced nation.

Communism can never work. It goes agaisnt the human nature.

My feeling is that true communism and true democracy are flip sides of the same coin, and that neither can work in anything other than a very small community.

I'm probably wrong, though.

In my opinion it could work should there be such abundance of resources, that human input would be only creative thought and consumption related.

I don't trust communism.
Too much living as one in a community where one takes care of eachother and we all know one another. I don't want to know one another. I want to close myself off with a good movie now and then without someone koncking on my door going : hello comrade, what a nice day for being a part of the community.

I like the socialist idea though. I rahter pay a bit more taxes and am unburdened by healthcare, roads, education....
I want my free hours to be free.

Meh, There is still going to have to be a class of laborors destined to sweat and toil to produce and exploit those abundant resources for the lazy fat arsed creative thinkers who just sit around dreaming up uselss crap for the other guy to do. History has proven it eventually leads to jealousies which leads to rebellion which leads to the lazy arse royalty to loose their heads.

Those labourers would not be human or even organic.
