"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those

Jefferson

Don't remember you complaining about Bush giving Wall Street bags of
money with no accountability.

Which is probably worse than socialism. Or maybe is what socialism
actually is.

I call it corrupt-socialism. The rouse is socialism to make it look
like it benefits the people, but lines the pockets of the corporate
welfare greed lines. Sort of like taxation endentured slavery of the
masses getting milked for the elite and aristocracy.

But it's so much fun accusing Democrats of being Socialists. You have
to be smart enough to know what some of the above words and concepts
mean.

Not as fun and easy as yelling "Socialist!"


Survey sez 97.4% of righties have no idea what socialism is.

Educate us. What is your definition of socialism?

HK probably doesn't know. You can get the academic definition on Wiki but I
prefer the practical definition.

Socialism: Idealistic concept of equal opportunity and wealth distribution
that overlooks the practical nature of mankind's ethics, greed and
economics. It removes the will of people to do better and contribute to
their best levels possible, as they are no longer rewarded for doing the
extra. But has appeal to those on the bottom half of society that have less
than the top half as it promises more wealth to them, usually via taxation.
While true socialism is destined never to succeed, the promise of
socialistic policies and taxation is often used by politicians to get votes
from the naive and gullable seeking a free easy lunch. Such a panacea of
socialistic policies always end up abused, broken promises and ultimate
failure. Socialism is the redistribution of wealth, not based on merit, but
wealth itself, it's archilies heal.
