Socialism always moves left, never any other direction. In the end the concern is that it will not be society that has all the power, but rather a few elites who will consoidate power and show us all the true way. Europe is a good example of socialism that is on a path to a few elites controlling the many. They haven't completed the mission yet, but with mico-steps and giant steps and medium steps they will eventually have their way. Then it is only a matter of time once this absoute power is in place, posing as our shared friend and savior, that some very nasty and charismatic character(s) will come along and create Big Brother. It is so slow and sly, but it is happening and will happen. I doubrt there is anyway to stop it as long as idealists continue to believe that we can change human nature and achieving that is akin to teaching a duck to bark..
