Go Socialism!

Letty

Just one last question: How can you have anything but a totalitarian form of gov't under Socialism? I think what they forgot to tell you is that while all the peasants are working like hell and giving to some lazy SOB who won't work or says he can't work, the Elitists have grabbed power and have done away with any form of opposition party and all other freedoms including the newspapers.

2. He has not let the Socialists take over his party because he has witnessed the havoc they wreak when they nationalize the industry.

In 1900, the Labour Representation Committee was formed by a number of unions, the Independent Labour Party, the Fabian Society (founded 1884) and the Social Democratic Federation (founded in 1881 as a Marxist party), with the objective of promoting a separate parliamentary labour party. While these groups did not always agree on the details of policy and strategy, the LRC met with considerable success in the 1906 General Election, when twenty-nine of its fifty candidates were elected (after an electoral pact with the Liberal Party).

The Labour Party, as the LRC was known from this time, entered the wartime coalition government in 1915 and was reorganised in 1918, when a modern party organisation was established and a constitution drafted. The Labour Party replaced the Liberal Party as the main party of opposition to the Conservatives over the following decade.

You say other countries have Socialism.

You say Cuba and China are Communist countries------please tell me what the real difference is.

Socialsm, system of social organization in which property and the distribution of income are subject to social control rather than individual determination or market forces. [...]

Communism, system of political and economic organization in which property is owned by the state or community and all citizens share in the common wealth, more or less according to their need.[...]

he has not allowed the radical socialists within the Labour party to take control and Nationalize the industry as the they did after WW11.

What is the purpose of this thread, rayban? Or do you know?

Socialism stifles imagination and initiative and creates a mindset that says.......it's not my job to solve this problem........I will wait for the problem solver to do it.

It seems to me that each of your official definitions merely use different words to arrive at the same result.

OK I confess, Walter is an avowed Communist/Nazi (does anyone have a problem with this logic?) Well anyway I wear an ugly hat (Stetson) and large nose (DNA?) which immediately tells anyone I hate america., which, of course, is true.(which is why I live in New Mexico)

New Mexico has just been taken over by Mexicans

1841 Texas soldiers invade New Mexico and claim all land east of the Rio Grande

1846 Mexican-American War begins. Stephen Watts Kearny annexes New Mexico to the United States.

You're sure that you've really read both essays on/in Britannica? And you really couldn't notice the difference?
