According to Merriam Webster, socialism is:
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
So, is the United States socialist? I assume that if you’re a logical being then of course you realize that the answer is no. However, if you’re an educated fool (think Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter etc) then you’re probably overjoyed about the above posters which are now appearing on the streets of Los Angeles. Funny how right wing conservatives are quick to criticize any measure that the Obama Administration presents but chooses to conveniently forget the monumental lapses of judgement of the last eight years that got us here in the first place.

It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
