Socialism doesn't always lead to communism, and Britain pulled back from the brink when they saw that the socialist promise led to everyone being worse off.
    Wrong, socialism and communism have and always will have the same outcomes. The simple reason is the individual or group has to be arrogant enough to think they are god if they want that much control.
