As with all human Games, religious/political/economic/artistic belief-
systems, 'socialism' means whatever the speaker WISHES it to mean. All
such Games are inaugurated and manipulated by Game Masters, who create
and promulgate Game Rules that define the realm and content of Play in
that Game. [And Games tend to fragment into competing and mutually-
exclusive sub-Games, but that's another point...] For instance:
All men are created equal. [Game Rule of Jeffersonian Democracy]
All men and women are equal. [Game Rule of Liberal Democracy]
All entities are equal. [Buddhist, Radical Environmentalist rule]
So, every sub-Game in Political/Economic arenas will establish one or
more Rules defining Socialism for the purpose of Play [activity and
discourse] within that sub-Game. That no group of Game factions can
agree on their definitions is irrelevant; Stalinists, Maoists, Nazis,
Libertarians, LaRouchers, Militiamen are all Playing separate Games,
with only minimal RealWorld connexion - usually as their Players are
merrily slaughtering each other. That's what humans do...
I'll expound more on my Games Hypothesis in future posts. Ciao --Ric
DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
