In the past I have said that Socialism doesn’t work because we are not like ants and we are inherently selfish. Socialism requires the drones to sacrifice something of themselves in some way so the whole colony benefits. Ants will all sacrifice their lives for the colony.
Now it appears that those willing to sacrifice themselves for their own colonies are not so willing to do the same for other colonies. To the extent that they mutiny and sabotage the colony when they are enslaved. Read here. Ants are more like humans than I thought.
Of course ants don’t look at other ants watching Jeremy Kyle and benefiting from their labour then changing their minds or every colony would be in turmoil like we are under a Socialist government.
Those base instincts cover more of the animal kingdom than I thought.
There are certainly some base instincts, basic instincts too; they can be suppressed for some time, they can be sublimated but in the end, they will out.
Mutiny and sabotage. Good choice of words.
I thought so.
