I have no issues with a rich socialist. Socialism hardly means communism. If he pays his taxes and wealth is redistributed then he is being a good socialist.
I like Tony Benn, though I disagree with his religious views
Socialism doesn't work....it's been tried. It didn't work for the Nazi's, didn't work for the Soviets, and it won't work for anyone else.
If you look at the behavioral psychology of economics Capitalism is THE WAY. It encourages innovation, hard work, etc. Socialism doesn't give you incentive to work, quite the opposite actually, but you guys just never will figure that out because you're so busy hating those evil tricky rich people who stole their money and land and have handicapped the system to suit themselves.
Socialism works just fine and continues to work well in countless countries around the globe. Not all states are massively unequal dens where welfare is being stripped back in the name of austerity by fascistic right wing ideologues.
You need to work out the different between socialism and communism. The terms are not synonymous.
Yes, they were and they didn't hide it (just what NSDAP stands for)*. Their policy of coercing the people in only one right direction is similar to what present day leftists do (they call themselves "liberals" for some reason). A book was written about this - I don't like to legitimize Wikipedia by quoting it but here it is:
Liberal Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
*But they weren't communists.
80% of the British people support the monarchy. The 20% who do not are just very loud and whiny.
