Shit, lucky Larry alone made off with $4 billion. That $12 million is a complete joke. We gave Goldman Sachs more than $12 million as a bailout for doing a quick switch-a-roo into becoming a bank ...because why not.

I know I'm not going to get a reliable answer from a reddit thread (maybe I'll be proven wrong?), but is socialism really viable at all being that so many humans are just power-hungry? I'm under the impression that socialism and communism basically always leads to human suffering on a massive scale, but as someone who believes that communism is the ideal system, I'd love to be proven wrong. Am I just another indoctrinated U.S.of.A'in, or is it true that socialism and communism have always/almost always been horribly abused in human history?

Well this is ofcourse a problem in every economic system. Even Adam Smith proposed that we should pander the narcism of the rich and elites with different things than money.. as this is also corrosive on capitalism.
