Socialism is in every single nation to some degree, just like capitalism. The government takes your taxes and does what they want with it. Whether you want a government or not, a military or not, etc etc etc.

It's naive to pretend that socialism is good or bad with it's just a tool, like science, education, technology, courts, etc. - all can be used for good and evil and often both simultaneously.

Memes can be like mousetraps.

I want less "free" government!

Exactly, the people in teh US don't realize we are a socialist stte in many ways, and have many socialist programs. Classical Liberalist Capitalism does not exist in the US anymore. We have been gutted dry and people continue to believe that we are a capitalist country with freedom.

Most understated comment in SaidIt history!

I guess Jesus wasn't perfect after all. :P

If we could get the rest of SaidIt to fully comprehend that statement, or the world for that matter... I suppose a lot of the arguing would have to be about something else.
