Actually I'm a moderate democrat...nice try. I even voted for Obama (and probably will again unless the GOP runs Romney). You can go box people in somewhere else now.
Like I said, you're a wingnut
Oh and knowing about Marx, Lenin, Bebel, etc. doesn't make me a marxist. I know about Hitler-does that mean I support his ideas? I have to know these things (being a social studies teacher).
Knowing about them doesn't make you a marxist.
Citing them as the final authoritiies on Socialism makes you a marxist. After, a marxist is one who agrees with marx, as you are doing here.
If you had agrees with Hitlers ideas, I would call you a Nazi. You didn't, so I didn't. Y
ou did agree with Marxs' ideas. You're a Marxist
And if that's the only response you have to my post-at least grow up and admit when you're wrong. I can't stand people who say we're a socialist country but have almost zero understanding of the economically system.
Like a True Wingnut, all you have is your claim of knowledge; Let me know when you have something to back up your wingnut claims
Socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.[1][2][3] A socialist society is a social structure organized on the basis of relatively equal power-relations, self-management, dispersed decision-making (adhocracy) and a reduction or elimination of hierarchical and bureaucratic forms of administration and governance; the extent of which varies in different types of socialism.[4][5] This ranges from the establishment of cooperative management structures in the economy to the abolition of all hierarchical structures in favor of free association.
As an economic system, socialism is a system of production and allocation based on the direct production of use-values by allocating economic inputs, the means of production and investment through planning to directly satisfy economic demand.[clarification needed] Economic calculation is based on either calculation-in-kind, some physical magnitude or a direct measure of labour time.[6][7][clarification needed] Output for individual consumption is distributed through markets, and distribution of income is based on individual merit or individual contribution.[8]
As you can see, there is no requirement to abolish real estate in private hands or abolish inheritance laws.
