It's not just Cameron. The people I know in the UK support this kind of thinking. A few years ago there was legislation introduced to assign a caseworker to *every* child in the UK. It didn't have as little support as you'd think. They are, broadly, a bunch of well-behaved socialist conformists who are afraid of the real world, and think that a panopticon surveillance state will make them "safe". It is disgusting
Just wow, socialism does not advocate panopticon surveillance, infact I don't think socialism has anything to say about matters relating to observation of the population. This is the sort of bullshit that got the US in the hellhole they're in now. I think the most applicable term for it is fascism
Tell us, my friend, how much do you know about socialism?
No, not the 'theoretical socialism' but the ones which had been implemented in real life
Do not tell us what you 'think', as what you 'think' doesn't matter in the whole scheme of things
But do tell us what you know, my friend
I am from China, a socialist country - in fact, I ran away from my own motherland because socialism had turned it into a hellhole
Massive social upheavals and people suffered greatly because under a socialistic society, it is the STATE (or whoever is in power) which dictates what happen, and the people must follow
Whoever dare to go against the grain will be tagged as 'anti-social' and even 'counter-revolutionalist' and are severely punished
I am not saying that capitalism is the panacea, but at the very least, under true form of capitalism, it is the individuals who are responsible for his or her own action, not the state
Those of you who never understand the real horror of socialism please understand this --- we who have gone through the baptism of fire under socialism will never sing hosannas praising socialism because we know how harmful it is
