A feudalistic government (like any ‘socialism’ is) works.
Just not very well. There is little money in the economy for schools, roads, whatever.
A religious socialism like Islam is better than ‘democratic’ socialism- it gives the masses a heaping serving of opiate to swallow their wretchedness down with.
Marx saw the flaw in his theories all along.
A ‘nuclear’ government, like the US is quickly devolving from, provided the most wealth for the most citizens.

Why Does Democratic Socialism Scare Ignorant People So? Excuse me?
If it weren't for the ignorant, socialism would never gain a foothold anywhere.

Why Does Democratic Socialism Scare Ignorant People So?...welll goollleeee - I'd better get on board with Democratic Socialism, so I can prove I'm not ignorant - on the other hand as a valedictorian, phi beta kappa, Ph.D. I've already pretty well demonstrated that, and by gosh Democratic Socialism still scares me......

Socialism as stated in the article implies that people work at producing value and then contribute to mutually beneficial entities, like a fire station.
Amerikan socialist believe in STEALING from the producers and HANDING it over to the parasites in exchange for the vote.
The country has tipped...
Sell out, get out.

“The misguided have been told that any form of socialism is evil and can be compared to Nazism.”
Huh? I wish. The left won the Nazi blame game, and mist everyone thinks of them as being on the right and socialists opposite them, even though the “zi” part of Nazi comes from German for “socialist.” Convincing people that’s meaningful is like holding back a dam with your thumb.

The Bolsheviks were originally Social Democrats. Once they’ve been voted into power, Democratic Socialists drop the Democratic part without further ado. And there are no more elections. Once they’re in, the only way to get Socialists out again is by revolution.
Jefferson said that the Tree of Liberty has to be watered from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots, and that that is its only manure. We may be close to one of those times.

Placing an ad hominem at the start of an argument does not bode well for its conclusion. Or anything between the two.

It is stupefying to me that these peoples don't see (or don't want to) the path they are setting out on has been traveled before by the Nazis!!!!
Good G-d, is this what it has come too?

demonized by the right in order to allow the corporate rich to get even richer. I would assume that this author supports Obamacare, one of the most corporatist pieces of legislation ever passed, designed to codify monopolies and keep others out.

If Socialism is so great how come the people of Spain and Portugal are rioting tonight. It sure is not a celebration of all their gains under socialist programs.
How come Greece is broke? Why is Italy on the skids? Etc.

And when people say that Hitler outlawed the unions you know they're lying. Hitler outlawed individual unions and combined them into one national union called the Labor Front. Its also important to nte that he replaced "uncooperative" corporate heads like was done with GM.
The trade unions that were swayed by Marxist teaching did not want social peace. They calculated that their chances of acquiring political power would improve with the growing dissatisfaction of the workers. One of the first necessities with which the Hitler Government found itself faced was that of dissolving the organizations that kept alive the antagonism between employers and employees. They were replaced by the Labour Front.
