HA HA HA this from someone who's user name starts with DUM.
Lets take a look at the definitions, shall we...
Definition of SOCIALISM
1
: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2
a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3
: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Definition of COMMUNISM
1
a : a theory advocating elimination of private property
b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
2
a : a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
b : a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production
c : a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably
Some might say that there is a very fine line separating the two above. I would tend to agree, except that the Obama admin has proved beyond reasonable doubt that they want an absolute "single authoritarian party", which falls right in line with Communism. All you have to do is read the NDAA, SOPA, and other acts created in the last 4 years to see that. Well, if you're smart enough anyway.
Now lets take a look at Capitalism...
Definition of CAPITALISM
: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market
Is not the latter exactly what our constitution and bill of rights was intended to accomplish? So how do you figure we're socialist? I know with the welfare state we are in, it may SEEM to you like we are, but we are not. The simple fact that banks and big business are allowed to have influence on our government goes totally against what the definition of socialism is.
Try again little man.
