Default Re: Socialism in the United States

seisen,

So, you are arguing Socialism would reduce government interference, that in a Socialist system the minority doesn't suppress the majority "maliciously", and that "The true definition of socialism is the complete control of the economy by the people.."

Are you serious? That is some of the most misguided drivel I have ever had the displeasure of reading.

Look, the people already control the economy, outside of the current government interference and the myriad of government sanctioned industry collusion and monopoly. It's called supply and demand. They're claiming that "the people" could control it better through government, without any factual support for the claim, while there are mountains of evidence to the contrary.

I love how they use the example of needing to post "rules" in a workplace. That's socialism in action. They attempt to imply that it's a Capitalist issue and would be elliminated. That's disingenuous at best, and an outright lie at worst.

For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
