"As the new year approaches, now's as good a time as any to reflect on
what's important and how we get there. Maybe 2024 is the year you
realize you're a socialist!"

Naturally if you are one of those members of the top 10% in society (or
you are brainwashed into supporting them against your very own interest)
*socialism* is NOT for you as you can only maintain your status as
long as you profit on everyone else below you. For you capitalism works
exactly as it is supposed to! Just too perfect, eh?

Yes, but what kind of Socialist ?

Sure, although when Capitalism inevitably becomes a Plutocracy and then
a Tyranny (as the USA has recently become), eventually to destroy itself
and possibly the rest of humanity with it (you notice the weaponry of
today), the top 10% may also eventually suffer. Human survival urgently
depends on peace.

The correct form of Socialism is 'Market Socialism', with which I mean
(to contrast with some others): an open and dynamic market in goods and
services, company initiative and bankruptcy, however:
- The State is as democratic as possible, idealy a Council Government.
- Everyone has their individual land right honored, and there are land
rent and land swap markets, except houses are bought / sold.
- Companies who have more than N employees when the owner leaves the
company for whatever reason, are forced to become a co-operative
(internal democracy). I propose N to be 10.
- Finance Capital is severely limited and prohibited to dictatorial
companies. Personal wealth is also capped at value N. I propose N (at
first) to be 30 times the average in that Nation (which I admit is
high, but it is a start, and less of a problem than you might think
because you should not confuse it with the same limit in the current
system).
