Key word, "Socialist" Yes, I am capable of making a mistake, but in this case it was a minor mistake which didn't affect the argument.

You righties want it any way you can. Stereotype all liberals as fascist, socialist, communist, marxist, or whatever name you decide to use this week, then next week a different name. Pick one that suits your needs to troll, and then reply with a derogatory remark, it is typical of people of the right, and this is still a stupid name caller thread, nothing more, nothing less, and especially you who talks down to and insults other member's integrity. You're the wise one here pal. If you want to provoke, may I suggest you go stand on a street corner, loudly pronounce your ideas and ideals, and see how fast people boo you off the corner. You are the epitome of the cancer in America.

And what did you just say in your rant? Your rant was like a man who curses the light. Here in this thread I have given several opportunites for people to share that the op was wrong, but not one liberal has had the ability to deny the facts. I encourage you to put your talents to better use. Study the failures of socialism following the empty promises, then report back to this forum.

Depends on your definitions, but for most purposes, no, liberalism and socialism are not only not the same thing, they are close to being mutually exclusive.

Don't worry.
Hummmmm, you're right, I don't like little jokes a Palin, by now, she has earned the right to much heavier duty jokes on her. She could teach other politicians a few things about being two faced. I mean, she just walked out on a sworn obligation to the people of Alaska.....she has earned more than just "little" jokes.

You're the one ranting and begrading people, be nice to people for once in your life, Christmas is only 17 days away.
I could care less about your drum-beating crap of liberals and socialism twanks, because if you want to point to socialism as a failure, you're going to have to slip back in time to the social security act of 1934 and start there, not here. Socialism is a failure? It's more like your posts are failures, isn't it now. If you're not happy with America today, I suggest you go and vote, or move to another country, and stop about it.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Dusty, other than my mistake on the name, can you point to any flaws in the OP? You certainly haven't yet in all your rantings, name calling, and down right uneducated, childish posts. Even the mistake in the name didn't distract from the point of how socialism in the specific communist political faith was the economic cause of the USSR's demise. Communism is a sub-class of Socialism, just like ****e is to Islam, and Methodist is to Christian.

You've supplied opinion, nothing supported by fact.

For instance: You claim the outlawing of religion was a cause of the USSR's failure. What facts do you have to support that allegation.
