The reason I support socialism has nothing to do with a Utopian society. As I don't believe that's a possibility... giving the nature of man kind.I feel socialism to be an overall bad thing. In theory (that is what it is) it sounds to great, everyone is equal. Socialism sounds to be utopia. It perpetuates a sense of equality by forcing it upon individuals (which is its practice). Socialism can never work due to men being men (which is corrupt). Individualism on the otherhand has a greater chance of fulfullment, such as capitalism (a regulated capitalism with a little social engineering, but not to much).
Total socialism is awful, but certain aspects can be accomplished and work in a productive way; I just can't think of any right off hand: Social Security (bankrupt), medicare (bankrupt), medicaide (bankrupt), unemployment insurance (I need to think about this one more, as I believe it may be a good thing in heavy regulation) and there are others that are FUBAR.
People work off individual rights and freedoms and this is the bottom line.
This is just my $.02.

Socialism needs a new Symbol.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
that's the spirit. That one isn't too bad. Except, it reminds me of Wal-mart.. which isn't a good representation of socialism.[QUOTE="CRS98"]
I took the liberty to create a new symbol myself.

Is this better? I just inverted a Union Army symbol.
