Like it or not, the term socialism is used very loosely as code word to scare us from reforming health care in this country.

>>Allen, that principle describes socialism.<<

I'm not being dramatic.

That principle comes directly from Karl Marx. It's from The Communist Manifesto.

And I disagree that it describes socialism. Certainly not all forms of socialism, in any case.
