Craig > But I think it's a mistake to judge socialism by its worst adherents (Hitler, > Mao, Che, etc.). I assume you haven't read the book? If that is the case how is it you can make the claim that these examples are the "worst" adherents?
>There are examples of good socialist societies (e.g., Isreali kibbutz, Amish >communities). These are good because they are voluntary & their members share >values. But isn't the key though, it some extent numbers over time? If the most intellectual , moral way to live is some form of socialism and the Chinese at 1.4 billion, nearly 20% of the world, already have adopted it and still are promoting it, can't the case be made their brand is more successful now? And will likely be more successful in the future? Isn't the pragmatic test to some degree what works? Particularly when the "good" examples you give are religious communities of very small numbers and the MoQ is anti-theist? Blood red to the core.
