Forced? Tell me, if I were in soviet russia and i said " I don't want to work anymore. I want to move to Canada" What would the response be?

Now if I tell my boss in America (even though we aren't as captilistic as we should be) " I don't want to work anymore. I want to move to Canada" What is his response gonna be?<hr size="1" /></blockquote>"Bye bye." You wouldn't even be able to afford a bus ticket over the border. Your only method of survival would be *gasp* socialist policies like Social Security and Welfare.<blockquote>Quote:<hr size="1" />Originally Posted by (nature of reality,)

Not. The power is interchangeable, because the results are the same. Why whip you when he can simply withhold backpay? That's punishment enough.

Simply put, your concept of Socialism has very little relationship to what it is. . . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
