Nah, he's pretty dumb. But, he shouldn't be too discouraged. His followers are even dumber than him and Bush. They are simply following his lead and believe in their tiny little minds that "European socialism lite" will work this time and somehow things will be better than the other Utopian minded socialists who tried and failed before.

Considering that I'm fully aware of my intellectual capabilities, I won't worry too much about how some anonymous person on a forum thinks they relate to a WH puppet.

Yes, because if you don't like Obama, you HAD to like Bush. And here I thought living abroad is supposed to make people smarter and more worldly?

This is a played out record. The OP specifically stated the differences of socialism and communism. He also found one aspect that was true for both. That doesn't mean that the OP is unable to tell the difference between the two. Your post just proves that you are unable to defend the merits of socialism without deflecting to red herrings.

Which probably explains why the US is the most desired country to emigrate to. And then maybe we can think and realize why our numbers our lower!

Um, actually, yes it is.

I am starting to become convinced that the people that advocate for socialism don't even know what it is.

When the government takes action which controls the means of production in the private sector in an effort to utilize those actions of the benefits of the collective... that is socialism.

Obama firing GM's CEO and then writing a recovery plan is the text book definition of socialism.

The "collective" now owning 56 percent of GMAC IS socialism.

This example IS socialism.

Deniers like to believe it's not socialism because the means of ownership is tied to Wall Street: indirect ownership through stock. As if that really changes anything.
