Ian Vincent Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Tom, There are very few true socialists once they get to a position of power and wealth. e.g. your mate TB, but there are plenty of others who spring to mind! Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rgds Ian I once studied sociology with the Open University. One of the lecturers said that there was only one true socialist society in the world - a small tribe deep in the Amazon jungle, who have no words in their language for ownership, and cannot understand the concepts of "mine", "yours", etc. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
