42% of Democrats are in Favor of Socialism

[jillian]

I think most people know that a combination of capitalism and socialism is best for society.

In reality, all economies are a mix. It's only a matter of degree.

However, that doesn't mean that people don't have a bias towards one or the other.

yes. but as i said, in this country the extra baggage of the right is a deal-breaker.

No that is corruption of the government, not true capitalism.

Corruption stemming from private sector greed.

No Politicians taking money from the Pharmaceuticals is the corruption.
Our government is not suppose to be in many of things that it has it's hands on.

Lol oh really so the pharmaceutical companies are not to blame at all?

Not when congress sets it up in the first place.

Oh please it doesn't work like that. You just assume it does. Big pharma knows exactly whah it needs to do for profit. You not putting any responsibily on them is so lame either way.

I am not assuming anything.
Congress sets up the rules and regulations of lobbying.

This dimwit gets all his historical info. from Chinese fortune cookies.

It is you who knows nothing about our history.

Isn't the state controlling reproduction socialism? Or is that fascism?

I'm sure this is what those 47% is looking forward to in life. and the Progressive/Socialist/democrat party is all too happy to give it to them.


freaking dummies

This kind of moronic poster flaunts her stupidity rather than trying to hide it...admirable in a way.

Thank you for giving us a synopsis of what you learned from FOX....without the commercials.

It's called protecting the life of the unborn.
Until we get a legal ruling on when life begins, this will always be an argument.

Wrong. The correct answer is both.

Yeah and they set up those rules because they were manipulated by special interests in the private sector. Either way, again, it's incredibly stupid you think big pharma is blameless. It's such a typical, pathetic, rightwing bullshit thing to suggest.

And it is usually the typical left who always blames the big businesses.

I don't deny that this is a case of government corruption. I just know that the corruption isn't from within - it's from the outside in the private sector.

The "dilemma" actually, is trying to figure out who is playing the whore and who is playing the pimp.

They ask a whole 1,000 out of hundreds of millions and you expect people to believe the poll results are true to the actual mood of the nation?
I know the idiots will believe it..

More to the point --- did the poll even ask or define what respondents think the term means and whether they buy the McCarthyesque perversions of it?

Seems more like a poll on the terminology than on stuff like social security and public libraries.


{EDIT} Confirmed. The full poll is posted here. It gives no description or definition of the terms "socialism", captialism" or "democratic socialism", meaning the definition is left entirely to the respondent, which of course will vary tremendously according to what each respondent understands the terms to mean.

And that in turn means it's a poll about the terminology, not the ideology. It cannot mean anything else.

Bullshit. Not everyone will agree on precisely what constitutes socialism but people know socialism is government control. Capitalism has been demonized enough at this point the number is totally believable.

Interesting post. Goes "bullshit" and then proceeds to agree with what I just posted through own self-contradiction.

My work here is done.
