With capitalism creeping into every clime and place on the planet, it gets pretty hard for someone to choose a different economic system!
I can just hear a few workers in the shoe factory, "today we choose socialism. We are tired of being exploited by capitalists. From here on out we own the machines, and we will fire the boss. Then we'll organize a democratic and fair distribution of these goods based on human need instead of the greed of the previous "owner" and his desire for a bigger yacht." Just then, the capitalist army comes out to put down the strike.
Let's organize and do it everywhere simultaneously (the general strike) and THEN it will work!
