I love his work; have since I was a kid. Like I said, he loses some points for me, not that I totally write him off. Truthfully, if you've never read it, check out the Iron Heel. Very much worth the read, and sheds a lot of light on what socialists do, what they believe and why, and how people can be fooled into believing in it. After all, he was NOT a stupid man and even he bought some of its BS.
It's not bs tho it was basically isolationist national socialism
Sorry dude, but all socialism is BS. First, it presupposes and depends upon a humanity that is perfectly charitable, which we most certainly are not. Second, it is state sanctioned theft, which is at all times immoral. It does not matter what suffix or prefix you try to attach to it, socialism is and always will be crap.
No it doesn't, the opposite: it assumes that owners will use their ownership to flex on you. The community/ethnostate/race whatever owning the arable land and the minerals and the rivers makes more sense than some guy saying it's his and the people have to suck his dick to get anything out of it
