<If communism is the absolute evil, then socialism(to any degree) is simply a lesser degree of that evil.>

Not necessarily. Why do you say that? I would not generalize here, Richard, as many right wing ideologues do in this country. A Government can support some Socialized Initiatives for the sake of the Public Good and still support Private Enterprise.

I believe Conservatives are wrong in trying to to turn Government solely into an agent of the Private Sector. Government represents a check on the Goal of Private Enterprise too, especially when that goal interferes with what is Beneficial for Society as a whole.

There is plenty of waste and inefficiency on the Private Sector Level too.

I'm a Moderate and not an economic ideologue. I believe that Government should support private sector opportunity as well as fund public programs that support the vast majority of its citizens.
