<<Shocking. I knew you were Democrat, but I didn't realize you believe in Socialism. But at the same time, many of my Democratic friends believe in Socialism. All of you need to read "The Road to Serfdom" and study economics. Socialism is really a terrible idea that was proven to be so. The Germans and Russians are great example of Socialism take to its logical conclusion and we fought World War II and the Cold War to make sure it didn't spread. However, it seems that humanity is doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again. That's just tragic.>> You libertarians lack empathy and would let the poor and downtroden suffer, ergo you are barbarians. Germany and Russia, are not perfect examples. They are not examples at all. They were simple dictatorships. Socialism never came into it. Denmark, Sweden and Iceland would be good examples of democratic socialism. And they are some of the best societies on earth Socialism is an economic term. Dictatorship is a political term.
