Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

Actually now that I've thought about it, If I was Obama it might be funner to just troll the whole US. If the opposition is gonna call me a Communist Muslim I might as well go along with it.

Oddly enough, "admitting" he's a communist Muslim would probably make the Tea Partyers shut up.

A united democratic base should demolish the 2012 election if the Tea Party has it's own candidate on the ticket anyway. I sincerely hope Palin runs for office as an independent precisely so she can split the Republicans up.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be rallying my party's base for a far-off election, but the sad truth is that this whole year is going to be pandering to Democrats and independents.

Also remember that he is, for the most part, deemed left-of-center, though he likes to claim the center when he can to appease moderate and independent voters (that means he won't be privatizing Social Security or re-instituting DADT - be realistic). I'm hoping this thread doesn't devolve into "NUKE KYRGYZSTAN!!!11!1! TROLLZ 4 LYF3 I <3 RED SOX"

In a perfect world, reforming the American public education system would be my first priority, but realistically there's little hope of that happening in the next ten months. I would be looking into the vast realm of money-eating bureaucracy that is Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid first.


You said "be realistic", so the only correct answer is "Somewhere between very little and nothing, now that Republicans are in a position to stop any real progress being made in anything".

There are more important things domestically to worry about. We're not the only nation concerned about Qaddafi, and we don't need to involve ourselves in every international conflict - let some other nation take a stronger initiative and let us get back to our pending government shutdown.

Never, ever happening in the US. Least of all things standing in its way is a widespread fear of European "socialism". Don't forget all the negative outbreak over the last attempt at healthcare reform. People are scared to make healthcare completely public. It feels like too much of a shift to the left.
