so·cial·ism (ssh-lzm) n. 1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. 2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/socialism Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

Thanks, for clearing up what you believe socialism is. No where in your definition is speech mentioned. |

The same is true of people within ultra-right wing societies. Dispatching opponents (real or imagined) is a common tactic employed by those who dominate by fear, often in the name of "freedom", which should be read as "freedom for me to kill those I don't agree with, on the grounds that I label them as enemies of the state".

I do not. However, you need to take this little talk to Barry Obama. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

ID, so you believe socialism is more than what your definition states. It isn't MY DEFINITION. I credited the source. We can call it a start, that is what this thread is for. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

The definition you posted DOES NOT include the use of force/terror to suppress the populace, so you have extended the definition you gave. You have extended your definition to include any of the totalitarian or populace suppressive regimes, some of which are avowed right wing, some of which are avowed left wing, and others (the majority in my opinion) are just plain nasty and have no specific political leaning.

We can call it a start, that is what this thread is for. I'll make no bones about it. Bush Jr. was bad and some would call right-wing. In reality he was not right-wing but center-left, he had to break the Constitution in order to save the Constitution---LOL! Barry Obama is Left of left, he ignores the Constitution altogether. Bush Jr., socialism light. Barry, hard socialism. We are just a few steps from Communism, full blown. China is happy....{smile} Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

So, please enlighten us- define "right wing". We need to hear your definition, and see if holds up as an opposite to "socialism", or as an opposite to "left wing" (which may, or may not be the same thing) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

China could give a rats patut if we go commie or not. They own us outright. All they need to do is call us on the notes they own. [/quote] Old James |

so·cial·ism (ssh-lzm) And to you this seems wrong? I'd love to see the people owning their own resources and the means of production. Who would better control the economy? The people, through honest and unbought politicians who are accountable directly to those same people, or profiteers working in secrecy in corporate boardrooms where citizens have no input or control in matters of the national economy?

ID, so you believe socialism is more than what your definition states. ID, since many would like to understand what your words mean, please give us your definition, otherwise you just make no sense. |

so·cial·ism (ssh-lzm) You don't seem to understand our economy. We vote with our dollars. However, when the elected get together with the corporate boardrooms we get the word so·cial·ism. This started right after WWII with the word Fascism and a warning from Dwight D. Eisenhower about the Military-Industrial Complex.

ID You have no idea of the differences between political systems. Equating socialism to fascism has to be the most asinine position I've ever seen someone take in these forums. You are so confused by rhetoric that you make no sense at all. Why do the most opinionated people seemingly base those opinions on made up facts? I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists. Chris Hedges A riot is the language of the unheard. -Martin Luther King, Jr. |

ID, so you believe socialism is more than what your definition states. ID, since I have reread your posts and was unable to find your definition would you cite which message you defined socialism otherwise please give us your definition. Anything less is confusing to those of us who want to understand what you are trying to say, hence gibberish. |
