What kind of socialism are you?

Postby Ski Apache Nation » Thu Mar 29, 2012 7:52 am

Presuming socialist, what type are you? Do you have free-market zones?"; is your government regulation limited only to certain industries?; do you have a thriving, yet regulated private enterprise sector?
What are your perspectives on healthcare, welfare, and foreign trade?

I believe in free and universal healthcare, which Fox tells me is socialist.

We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.

I am a socialist who does not like the materialist values promoted by capitalism. I think the workers are severely underpaid and oppressed by the government. II hope someday we have a world where the workers labor for themselves and the society, not for their boss or corporation
