Reply #178: Few of us are advocates of

[Enthusiast]

pure socialism. Most of us are in favor of elements of a strongly regulated capitalism that does not allow the corporations to run roughshod over the worker and environment as they have done throughout much of the world. I personally favor a system that preserves the best of both systems with freedom and democracy as a priority.

I ask you, who on the DU has ever said "I want this country to be more like East Germany or North Korea."?

I have never heard anyone advocate this in my entire life yet every right wing pundit claims that is what socialists desire. Funny that I have never met these "socialists".
