There were many great visionaries in the socialist movement. Many
were full of compassion and prepared to sacrifice everything
including their own life. They had a thorough understanding of the
economic problems of their times and had worked out detailed plans
for a better society.
the vagaries of human nature. The communists, in particular, always
were control freaks and couldn’t cope with that. That’s where things
went wrong.
The political left has always been plagued by the splitting virus.
First there was the split between communists and social democrats.
From there, innumerable splinter groups arose. In the political
vacuum left in German by the failure of the traditional political
class after the WWI disaster, communists and social democrats were
fighting each other in street battles in Berlin. The laughing third
party was a creepy little guy called Hitler. For nearly a century
now, left wing parties all over the World have fought each other
while right wing parties hold on to power.
I wonder, does this sound familiar? Could it be that Permaculturists
have also been infected by the splitting virus?

A followup comment on a related topic I recently posted on the
Coffee Party Facebook page: As for the teaparty anti-socialist
rants... research/Google the village-based agrarian socioeconomic
system that prevailed in the Ukraine before the Russian Revolution
when the party that supported them, the Social Democrats, who
sought power in Russia (these were the true "communists", of, by
and for the people) and Germany, were defeated by Lenin and his
Bosheviks which led to the rise in power of Stalin and his
Communist (NOT) Party who were totalitarian criminal thugs. They
need to get their facts straight. The Social Democrats in the
Ukraine were in an all out struggle for personal survival and you
know what unfortunate events unfolded afterward over the decades.
