Just a current runthrough of socialism as it exists in the world today.

-2 for inherent flawed thinking here (communism <> socialism)
+2 because I am an American that would support socialism in its ideal state

I didn't mean to seem like I was endorsing socialism, only assessing it.

Give a +2 when you mean -2? I've DONE that, man.
Socialism and communism are flawed concepts. They
both assume that each man is part of the collective
and not an individual. Marx and Engels were wrong.
Thanks for Political History 101, but no thanks.

Nice effort, but I've always seen Socialism as a euphamism for Communism by the leaders of Communist countries. For example, in the case of the United Soviet Socialist Republic, Socialism was not really the policy in place; Communism was.

I thought it was neither. It may have started as Socialism or Communism, or at least started with that goal/ideology, but in practice it was just another dictatorship. Truth be told, neither socialism nor communism can exist without the people themselves taking charge. Whenever there is an "elite" class that rules or is the head of the party, the people lose

this reminds me of a few months ago, when the Socialist party won an election in Bulgaria. from the headlines on US sites they were treating it like the first sign of the Apocalypse.

With the excreption of the south Americas none of the listed states have or have ever had anything to do with Communism or socialism.
The capatilist menace crushes true communism whenever it starts to grow.
Tony Blair is a class traitor and deserves to die.
