Thanks, those were great sayings by Churchill... This thread could use posters like him... g/ng. I've been just wondering sometimes about this one: The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery. He might be right about the misery, but the division of wealth and power is extremely unequal under Socialism. When they say that the means of production (businesses) belong to the "people", in reality it means that they belong to the bosses. In every Socialist system that ever existed the majority spent their lives in misery, while the bosses lived like gods. There always was a plethora of kisser uppers in between. A bin Ladinista type of a theocracy would be totalitarian in nature. If it ever arrives, the majorities will kiss goodbye to whatever individual rights they may have ever had in the past.
