What's the deal with Socialism?

[El Kabong]

Well that's the problem Andre, to me you may as well speak in Chinese whether you say Socialist/Anarchist/Communist/Populist...it's all the same far left idealistic hogwash. The only people I think of that had any positive support behind them never really attained much power, Eugene V. Debs & Huey Long....and Huey was assasinated. Debs was one of those "Shit Stirrers" and wound up in jail thanks to his actions during World War I.

It's great to think you can help your neighbor, your friends, anyone that's had a hard time, and I admire that, I just don't want my government to do it. That's what charities are for and churches, and the kindness of your average everyday Joe. To me Welfare CREATES dependents and I am against that for people and for businesses.
