My mom: "I'm still wavering, but I don't want us to start sliding toward socialism."

Posted by nubby Oct 28 '08, 16:24

Me: "That's not gonna happen."
Her: "I think it would."

It seems like the socialism angle is working, at least in SC among my family and friends.

Why is socialism a bad word, anyway? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 16:29 10
- Because it hasn't shown itself to ever work properly and probably goes against basic human nature? - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:35 7
  - hmm there are far more contris that have and have had successfull socialist goverment than the few communist success countries -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 16:39 5
    - No. There really hasn't been. In the end, most "socialist" countries are merely lefter version of capitalist ones. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:42 4
      - Nordic contris...Germany, France, (most of the EU actually) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 16:45 2
        
        Yeah, those aren't "socialist" countries. Haven't been for decades. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:47 1
        
        compared to the US they are highly socialist heck even Canada is highly socialist to some people in the McCain camp or GOP in general -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 16:48
      - And what's wrong with that? Do you see a problem with a limited balance of socialism and capitalism? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:43
  - I thought that was Communism? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:35
- because it's an "ism" that doesn't start with "Capi" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:31
- "Socialism" is the new "liberal", since that wasn't working. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 28, 16:31
I think Crash needs to call your mom. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 16:24
