Hi Umair,

I clapped for the sheer amount of discussion your article unleashed. Which in basis is the fundament of democracy.

I am for one, most concerned about the fact that the largest part of the American, and increasingly the European people are spending more time to increase their wealth (which makes absolute sense evolutionary). This behaviour makes that the ‘weak' get left behind and eventually leads to social-economic segregation.

You can ask any minority how social segregation feels, and whether the word ‘ghetto' has a positive connotation…

What no coorporatist/ capitalist/ American dreamer seems to understand is the fact the socialism looks to supress the effect of social-economic segregation, it is NOT an advocate for giving money to people who don’t want to work, but to spend money to get people to work and to care for people who cannot work.
