In order for Socialism to be workable, it is necessary for all members of
the society to be the same. When you have differences in terms of race,
religion, etc., then resentment begins to creep in. "I don't want so-and-so
who is of a different race/religion/se*ual orientation to get the same share
as myself - they don't deserve to have the same, because they aren't the
same as me." This has always been the problem with socialist movements in
the past. If the U.S. citizenry had been composed of a single ethnic group
back in the 1930's, Socialism would have triumphed, because it is human
nature to wish your own kind well. But because the U.S. was composed of a
highly diverse collection of ethnic grouping, Socialism fell flat. The
whites didn't want to share on an even level with the blacks, the
Protestants didn't want to share on an even level with the Catholics (or
Athiests), the Irish, Italians, Germans, etc. were all interested in looking
after their own, and everyone else be damned. That is human nature. In order
for Socialism to succeed, it must adapt to the human need to segregate.
Socialism can only succeed if it is applied within each particular
xenophobic group.
