Socialism is a great idea but it will never work long term, the lord of the flies is human nature in a nutshell from its birth. Greed and hunger for power ensure that it socialism isnt a long term solution, it should be but it wont be.
As a species we deserve this pandemic, we are the worst on earth. The only saving grace is that is seems to spare innocence (children) and maybe that's divine intervention because god knows what would be happe6in the world if it was taking them too.
We've destroyed a wonderful planet, killed off countless animals,plants etc, continue to let children live in poverty, abuse them,hurt them and we wont stop after this. No matter what.

The difference most people seem to overlook is that we never had socialism in the UK, we had socialism and capitalism running in tandem, in balance prior to the Tory and Blair extreme US style capitalism
Also, we're not through with this virus yet, virus' can mutate and become more aggressive, we do and don't deserve it, there is a minority from both capitalist and socialist governments that absolutely do deserve it, there are a majority in many nations who continually vote for the continuation of a system that has devastating consequences for the planet and the most vulnerable in society, that breeds crime, violent crime, drug and other addictions, mental illness, 'dead where they don't count' politics who also absolutely do deserve it - If it could mutate and just take all those people, even if it was 80% of the world's population and save the planet and give mankind the opportunity to start again with only the decent people left, controversial I know, but maybe it wouldn't be such a bad things, the human race is a disgrace
