"Socialist" is the new "Liberal". Apparently liberal wasn't alarmist enough.
It's just a fear-inducing buzzword that right wingnut wackjobs use as a weapon of dis-information.
Socialism is a political theory centered around the total ownership of the means of production by the state.
The banking crisis and subsequent purchase of defaulted banks by the gov't is the closest thing to Socialism that has been discussed.It's time for a Breakthrough.

Political theorist joke that a Communist is just "a Socialist in a hurry."
Socialism usually refers to an economic system, while Communism often encompasses the economic and political systems. Communists' ultimate goal is the elimination of class-ism. Socialism tends to be more moderate. Kinda like neo-conservatism and fascism.It's time for a Breakthrough.

Hm., I look at economic system as going in one of two directions. more government and more control, or less government and less control. Bush and now Obama are both going in the same direction. Guess which one that is? Obama isn't a socialist, I think fascist is more accurate, just like Bush. I guessing you might disagree.

That is State Socialism. True Socialism is public ownership of production.
Ronald Reagan was the one that made manifest that America truly isn't a free market economy, or capitalist. His administration was the one that bailed out failing businesses, trying to use the trickle down theory. The problem was that the money didn't trickle down; the CEOs pocketed a decent portion, and its happening again.Last edited by CHS55; 04-07-2009 at 07:26 PM.

no,
Communism is a state-less , classless society...
No society has ever been 'communist'. (As long as there's a state, there can be no communism)...
What you're referring to is 'socialism'... (that is the state ownership of the means of production but remeber that concept of state is a worker's DEMOCRACY, that is owned by all men)...
US is not even this iota close to socialism (state ownership is a possibility here but still means rule of a handful of oligarchs)Last edited by maynardjames; 04-07-2009 at 08:18 PM.

This....
The democratic party doesn't represent the historic 'Left' in its totality at all....
Both parties are basically tools of big business (one wants to give it complete reign, the other wants to act as intermediary)...
Democratic party basically acts as nurse to genocidal capitalism...
whenever it's threatened, it comes in with a hot bottle

FOX News is not gospel. However, the amount of people who are putting blind faith in Obama to run the government is allowing the government to f*ck everything up. O'Reilly is too conservative for me on some issues, especially involving religion (i'm not religious), but he is spot on quite a bit politically.
