[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 291451, member: 272"] LOL never heard that one. Sounds like a "white" lie They did have "give aways" Still do as tradition. A give away was one way they redistributed wealth. If a rich man married off a daughter, or some other ceremony, he gave away a lot of his wealth, as in horses and other materials. They didn't have "forced labor" and yes, they were surviving, but they had a social life and lived in a socialistic way. No one owned any land or buffalo. Crops were shared. And yes its a long ways from what socialism is today. IF (Big Big IF) everyone pitched in their fair share of the labor, socialism and communism could work. But they both HING on mankind's willingness to share the labor load, and have NO CORRUPTION AT THE TOP!! Neither will work the way humans are wired. Why work hard, and be innovative, if there's no chance to get ahead? There's just no reason to work hard, or at all, in socialism. [/QUOTE]
