Stalinists? Nazis?
You're talking about DICTATORS
We can all agree that distators suck. Odd that you support Trump. He LOVES dictators and attacks leaders of Democratic governments
As far as Socialism
Socialism is the government ownership of the means of production.
Clearly that is not our system
Oh...some say that socialism is the ownership "or regulation" of the means of production.
Well we all agree that regulation is required. Doctors being licensed for instance is regulation. That makes it socialism. Food being manufactured in a safe manner is regulation. Clearly necessary and according to that definition...that is socialism
So what we're really saying is NOT that "SOCIALISM" is inherently bad but rather...how much socialism is required to mitigate the excesses of capitalism.
Doesn't sound nearly as scary in that more accurate context...does it.
Communism and socialism is dictatorship by definition
Marx designed it that way.
Capitalism has no such excesses to regulate.
You couldn't be more wrong. Capitalism is regulated or there would be monopolies, no competition and cartels like OPEC would abound.
Insider trading is a felony, and yet it abounds.
Socialism is an economic system, communism has never existed in the sense that the proletariat benefited; in fact Social Darwinism existed in both Capitalism and Communism unfettered, and has only been beaten back by activists, community organizers and the liberal movement first in the Republican Party, and since Truman, in the Democratic Party..
