and i agree socialism in action does tend to keep peole where they are, just in wythenshawe alone you can find people who live there who lives within a five mile radious in the same social situation from birth till death, never striving for more probably because when those with the drive to do so try they get told they crnt because of where there from. This i know for a FACT as when i tell people who have never met me before that i am from wythenhawe i am imeadiaty put down in there minds due to a stereotype that stems from the policy of getting for nothing that people live off in these areas. i mean if the state gives you a house, money, benifits, free health care / dentist care whats there to try and work for? so people just coast through life.
Could it not be argued however that, in certain cases, this failure or reluctance to move is not ac=tually a failure or reluctance but an inability caused by the preconceptions of others about the residents of a certain area?
It is interesting that this debate has filtered down, largely to a compare, contrast, evaluate exercise on Capitalism versus Communism with very little mention or evaluation of the bits in between and some very polarised views being expounded.
Says a lot about the people who contribute to the forum in my view
