Most Americans hate socialism?
Nov 29^th, 2008 at 12:56pm

Most Americans hate socialism. I don't understand why they love so much capitalism.

CAPITALISM IS GOOD FOR RICH PEOPLE, BUT NOT FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE !!

latest polls have said that Americans have a built in computer chip in their heads that says: "I hate quality life, I hate socialism, I prefer free markets of the invisible hand of Adam Smith , Ayn Randand and inhuman social Darwinism of Carnegie. I hate medical care, free universities and I love working 12 hours a day."
Is similar in Australia?.

Do we need to be always politically correct.
In the world of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Actually facts examination reveals that socialist loving ppl of China, Russia, Cuba etc. vote with their feet predominantly in one direction from socialism to capitalism.

This is also true. Even people leaving Australia/Europe/US and other western countries to go to more capitalist places like Dubai and Hong Kong.

What about socialism in Sweden?
Country that does not have free education and health services can not claim to be civilised.

People of Sweden opted against socialism too by voting in centre right government in last election.

BTW, there is no such thing as free lunch or free education, somebody always pays for it.

Socialism and capitalism are thrown about as strawmen for the real issues facing our society. All democracies fall somewhere on a spectrum between socialism and capitalism, all through the choice of the people. The two extremes are of little value, except to indicate on which side of the society's current place on the spectrum an individual within that society lies. Referring to the 'centre right' government of another country is pretty useless, as it refers to the position relative to that particular country and is not an absolute measure. By another country's standard that party would likely be extreme left or right wing. People tend to magnify the small variation around their country's position.

to many of them they are too similar to distinguish between.

besides the US many Americans believe has been built on the back of capitalism and thus they are even patriotic about it.

just watch any non left wing American news channel.
