RE: Why I’m a Socialist and not a Communist

"easily eliminate this problem"

Easily eliminate the problem of antisocial individuals aspiring to utterly destroy modern civilization? I don't believe that's the case. I make the argument that democratic/libertarian socialism balances this perennial self-destructive tendency with our egalitarian and progressive drives towards future technological society better than does anarchist communism -- and that this will remain the case until human nature is fundamentally overcome at the point that transcendental neurotechnological trauma & empathy therapies are mass distributable to billions of people... which may never happen in our world's timeline.
