One problem with your quote.  We have no community.  What we have is a war of everyone against everyone else.  Even among people in the same family (small community) there is zero political agreement.  So on a practical level, this idealism, as do all idealisms ... totally fails in the hands of the ape men.

A quote like that is what nearly kept Einstein from finding a home in the US, because conservatives were justifiably opposed to his socialism and pacifism.  And today, Einstein's support for Israel, would be considered wrong as well.

Reminds me of Republicans supporting Trump...

Democrats don't support democracy, they support a plantation economy, of aggrieved victims voting them into power, where they proceed to act like Republicans.

Do you even READ what you post?  Plantations and Democrats?  The Republicans took over the Deep South decades ago.  A democrat in Plantation territory is a rare bird.

Socialism always produces more suffering... that's why the countries that lean socialist have longer life spans, higher standards of living and are the happiest in the world... and the more capitalist dominant countries are the exact opposite...

Hmmm... seems legitness.

Ah, I see. You don't know what socialism is, is what the issue is.

Every country you were thinking of when you just described socialism are in fact capitalist economies with socialistic policies. They are not socialist states.

I would tend to agree with that.
