Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterized by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership may refer to forms of public, collective or cooperative ownership, or to citizen ownership of equity. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them, though social ownership is the common element shared by its various forms.So, if social ownership is the common element in socialism, why is it so rare, almost non-existent, in so-called socialist countries?

What if it's all a fraud, a facade for “elites” to hide behind as they maneuver assets into smaller and smaller concentrations of their ownership and control?1 Where was there ever “social ownership and democratic control of the means of production” amongst so-called socialists? When has promised equity ever flowed to the people?
Why can we not see that the majority of gains from labor, capital, and property, for the entire duration of history, in every nation, kindred, tongue, and people of every stripe and system, has always2 flowed upward into private fiefdoms of those who, without conscience, pursue (and protect) increasing levels of power and gain?
Is this not the unvarying way of the sociopath / psychopath; the way of the Korihor-type?3 How long till we acknowledge that all the high-sounding phrases and pretend compassion of elite-socialists is all a game of hide and seek—hide true motives and machinations, all the while seeking the goodwill, support, and assets of those they dupe?
Do we ever ask ourselves why all the elite-socialists are rolling-in-dough? Do they assuage their guilt (if they can muster any) with programs that pretend to “equitize” other people's money? Or is the seeming redistribution all for the sake of appearance, taking credit for the generosity or sacrifice of others? Look at all the elite-socialists. What if they are all just corrupted capitalists in disguise? Name anyone of them. And what if the elite-capitalists are all just (wannabe) oli-garchs, -gopolists, monopolists hiding behind facades of “free-enterprise,” “free-markets,” “competition,” etc. Name anyone of them.
As to the propagandists of “World Order”! not one of them has the remotest intention of establishing social, collective, cooperative, OR free-enterprise ownership. The New World Order is the ultimate left- / right-wing tyranny—the utopia of tyrannies—where the elites (those who survive the oligarchic bloodbath to establish top-dog dominion) will own everything and control everything, issuing order upon order to robots and to semi-robotic, disposable “humans.”
Why must we keep repeating these déjà vus? Certainly, there are many good people in this world, but the number of sociopaths and manufactured sociopaths,4 on both the right and the left, is increasing to the tinder-point. And when good people refuse to see—to recognize—the unconscionable, mendacious ways of sociopathic elites (and their willing lackeys), AND the déjà vus (that even initially good governments have always been taken over, in short order, by those obsessed with power and gain agendas), they will become unwitting, deceived accomplices to a tyranny that will destroy all the good they ever thought to do or preserve.
Let us wake up to the deceptions that surround us 360 degrees. Re-read Orwell's 1984. It's unfolding before our eyes.
