Socialism: A theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
Hummm, that's close, the community doesn't own stuff collectively like that. Socialism, no.
Quote:
Fascism: A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Hmm, first one was too weak, this one's too strong.
Quote:
Communism:
1. A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.
2. A system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.
Also close, really, we're a hybrid of socialism and communism at the the moment.
Put simply, Obama is out there attempting to make the state in charge of everything and make everyone the same. Personally, the thought of paying for some other guy's Viagra (a la Universal Health Care) with my tax dollars pisses me off. You don't see me walking up to people and asking for them to all chip and help pay for my car insurance. Now the government takeover of GM, which despite being highly illegal, is still occuring. Hmmm, means of production for an industry highly involved in economic and social life, such as the auto industry, being owned by the government to control and manage. That sounds vaugely familiar...
The point is, right now, we're heading for socialism, followed by communism, followed by fascism. There's no reason for all this spending, don't try the stimulus bullshit; i've read what that bill allocates funds for, urban terrorists like ACORN and the like. Shit like the GM takeover are bankrupting the economy and it even worse. It effectively kills Ford and Chrysler now too. Think about it, GM is owned by the government, who sets the standards the competition has to go against. That means the contest is rigged; and, therefore, the concept of a free market is null.
Plus let's not forget another fun fact. All of Europe is more socialist than us, and they're hurting even worse than we are with this recession. That could be us hurting that bad if we keep this up. Wake up America.
Plus, i'd like to rant about something that's not just Obama, but the entire democratic party. Specifically, the "fairness" doctrine. YOU CAN'T LIMIT FREE SPEECH; IT'S IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT. Radio and TV are allowed to broadcast whatever political views they want, it's sitting right there under free speech. Sit down and shut up, liberals, you're ruining the country.
