        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
