What we need is a restructuring of society here so that instead of
"semi-socialistic" we move all the way towards modern European
socialism. Most modern European socialist countries are doing ok, and
their average citizens are doing better than Americans. We have
half-assed socialism here and it doesn't work.


Impossible for two or three generations, even if desireable (which I
don't think it is).

For the vast majority of Americans, modern European socialism will
deliver a higher quality of life than corporatism does for them now.
But that's only one aspect of society we need to change.

Let's be real here. Since the advent of unbridled greed and
multinationalism, capitalism is a failure for a growing majority of
Americans. If we don't want a violent revolution, we'll need to modify
and restructure our society. Otherwise, it'll be heads on pikes.



You have a house full of guns Harry. You're ready.


I'm fresh out of pikes, though, and the carton of disintegrating belts I
ordered for the M240 mounted on the roof of my SUV is on back order.
(Note for simple-minded right-wingers: I'm just kidding.)
