"." GOPGuy, this is Random House¹s definition of socialism: "Socialism, n. A theory or system of social organization which advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production, capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole." How is it that socialism equals fascism under those definitions?"
Because it can only be achieved by using the force of government against any individual that doesn't want to have their personal property stolen.
Capitalism is the economic expression of individual liberty.
Socialism is the economic expression of bondage.
::Sheesh:: With a lot of hands across America rallies, where everyone sings Kumbaya together, we're supposed to *want* to give to the collective, avoiding all of that messy business of killing off or institutionalizing inconvient people who foolishly resist getting with the pogrom, er program.
