Re: Left and Right and Politics
"Yes, we need 'socialism' to define what's wrong with society, ..."
Surely, a 'capitalist' would say, "Look at all these poorly educated children. They are a wasted resource and an indication that more investment is needed in the education system. See all those people who are ill due to smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise; a small amount of money invested in a public education programme would greatly reduce these problems and increase national productivity." Etc.
We need sensible and intelligent people to see and understand what's wrong with society. They seem to be in short supply at the 'top'.
