10. Socialism is a Meaningless Scare Word for These People
Edited on Sat Oct-11-08 08:03 AM by chrisau214
Look at this quote;

"I'm mad. I'm really mad. And what's going to surprise you, it's not the economy. It's the socialists taking over our country," one said.


This guy clearly doesn't have a clue as to what socialism is if he doesn't realize that the concept of socialism is inextricably tied to the economy.

I suspect that most of the people who spout such nonsense don't have the slightest idea what the difference is between socialism, capitalism, communism, hedonism, Buddism, feminism, and botulism.
