Re: so are the evos here socialists???

Socialism is neither good nor bad. Too much of anything is bad.

But just for kicks, since you're so against socialism, do you disagree with anti-trust laws, social security, insurance, public schooling, medicare, etc.? In a true capitalist society, none of those things would exist you know.

I suppose I'm a pragmatist also. We can't just say one ideology is bad therefore we should not use anything from it. I believe that every ideology that have ever existed have something to contribute. We just need to pick out the positive aspects and use them.
