“Socialism is based on the notion that collaboration and sharing are more productive, humane, and moral than competition and privatization.”
“Information sharing produces shared awareness among the participants, and collaborative production relies on shared creation, but collective action creates shared responsibility, by tying the user's identity to the identity of the group.”
“Loss of social standing is an ever-present threat for individuals whose social acceptance is based on behavioral traits rather than unconditional human value.”
“Cooperation is a higher moral principle than competition.”
“If state, party and social policy will not be based on morality, then mankind has no future to speak of.”
“Humans are different in private than in the presence of others. While the private persona merges into the social persona in varying degrees, the union is never complete. Something is always held back.”
