Have You Progressed From Being A Liberal To Being A Socialist? (wage, health care)

Or a Communist?

Just out of curiosity, how are you defining this? According to Michelle Bachmann, Bush is now a socialist. I think the far right end of the party is riding the crazy train on this issue.

I stopped at being a liberal because they have become “Greedster Lite”. I desire a government that actually supports "Liberty and Justice for All" not just the few that can afford them. I would like a system that provides basic shelter, food, clothes and health care for everyone to minimize the number of people forced into debt driven wage slavery in order to survive. I believe most people would still work even if they were not forced to.

I also realize this is pure blasphemy to the ears of our money addicted Mammon worshiping greedsters. That is not my problem. Using them to everyone’s advantage is my problem and I am working on creating an ideal society with a Liberal political system.

Nah, I went from Fabianist to full-blown Hoxhaism. But only to pledge Delta Kappa Tau.

Well quite a few of the early Soviet leaders said something along those lines before being put to death.

That's because they were stupid to believe that socialism should apply to the socialists. Socialist leaders are smarter than the people and must be rewarded as such. Vacation homes seized from some dumb capitalist farmer who doesn't deserve it and the finest foods not to be distributed to the people. That is the reward for socialists who succeed in architecting a workers' paradise.
