The world is seriously unfair. And Darwinism stinks. But there it
is. And the pitiful attempts at human social engineering are
currently completely unable to change it. In truth, they only make it
worse. Futhermore, now that so few believe in the possibility of an
after life, there doesn't even seem to be a meaningful source of real
hope left for most people. Irrespective of biblical or any other type
of religious prophecy, a Darwinian "apocalypse" of sorts could very
well be coming soon. I hope I am wrong, but the whole of human
culture seems to be irreversibly dysfunctional.
The great culling of humanity is inevitable.
But like "people knowing the meteor is coming" to destroy us, we will
create mayhem and with nothing to lose we will ignore the constraints
that have kept us moving in the same direction of improvement.
*Obama is a Socialist first and last* then he is the other things, as
they benefit him between that.
As Obama tries to rule over us he inches us closer to the Meteor moment.
Pathetic after what Bush did for his CEO's on Wall Street. Forget?
There ya go with wanting to kill everybody again Sheesh!
I hope your god looses the election! Is the economic policy of the GOP
going to be hiring all the teabaggers to bury dead bodies? And I thought
your type only wanted war in the middle east. wow! I missed that one
hahah
I see Obama about to kill millions via mayhem and government fighting to
survive. Government won't just collapse, it will fight to steal all you
have so that it will survive, like a drowning man will climb on top of
you and hold you under, so he can get another breath of air.
I have no God.....
I don't need a job......
I call'm as I see'm.....

ROTFLMAO! You don't have a fucking clue as to what a socialist is.
In other words, 55 percent of likely voters think “socialist” is a
reasonably accurate way of describing Obama.
You do need professional help.
You and 45% doesn't mean he's NOT a socialist... because you HOPE he
isn't a Socialist.
LOL! As Obama struggles to save capitalism, you wingnuts call him a
socialist.
In his post he invokes Darwin. I hate to point this out, but in pseudo-
Darwinian analysis, it looks like the Communists and Socialists have
already won. There are one of hell of lot more people living
in"Communist" and "Socialist" countries right now than in capitalist
ones. Beam me up, of course, has no idea what a socialist is and what
socialism is. I
I consider me the winner.... the Socialists are the losers.

Right.... a billion flies eating shit, can't all be wrong.
You don't believe that lie for a second.
A Communist by any other name is still a Communist, whether of the Big
“C” (card-carrying type) or small “c” (fellow traveler).
In 1848 the Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels co-authored Communist
Manifesto was completed and published at the request of London’s
Communist League.
If you don’t want to read the whole Manifesto, read the 10 Planks.
Educate yourself.
You have spittle dribbling down your chin.
Well, yes. And no. For me the term 'socialism' is used as a broad,
encompassing, generic term that includes communism, Communism,
Marxism, many so-called 'third ways' (fascism, Nazism, democratic
socialism, liberalism, progressivism), Fabianism, and many more such
similar ideologies. I understand that some define socialism
differently, for example, as an historical step towards Marxism, and
therefore distinct from it, but one needs a word to group together
under one label all these closely related movements, because they have
so much in common. What else would one use generically?
Collectivists? Radical egalitarians? Vermin? It seems to me that
since so many related ideologies call themselves socialists we should
not reject the more general definition of socialism.

I actually researched the Fabian Socialists and was one of(if NOT the
first) to bring this to the NewsGroups connecting Obama to Fabian
Socialists and later I found a Video of Obama calling himself a
Progressive(that video has since been scrubbed from the internet).
The difference is minor and one cult was from Europe while the other an
American adaptation of the other.... They are both just the idea that
the change to Socialism can be a peaceful "evolution" rather than a
violent "Revolution"......
Coincidentally we are in what looks like a *COUP* where we are being
pushed into Socialism by the progressives that have a hidden agenda for
what they are doing, all the while trying to deceive the public of the
real goals.
Were it that Progressives were up front about their goals, I would have
little to worry about since most people aren't so stupid as to sign on
with the Socialist Kooks and their utopian quest..... but the fact that
there's a goal that's being shielded by obfuscation and lies makes the
Progressives more dangerous than the Communists that pronounce their
ideological goals and will use a gun to exact those goals.
The communist deserves a certain amount of respect as someone with
Character..... but the Fabians/Progressives we face now will befriend
you and lull you into a passive state of mind, then sink their knife
deep in your back as you sleep.

In your case, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy... ;-)
The problem w/ defining socialism (or communism) is that its ugliness is
apparent when purely and concisely defined. A socialist will never
define communism, instead they come up w/ all sorts of pretty ways to
polish that turd.
I've studied it somewhat, and distilled what seems to be the essence:
Socialism: benevolence through compulsion
Communism: production through compulsion
Totalitarianism: compulsion in all things
Note that there is no mention of ownership, who or what controls,
majority/minority, etc. All of those are canards and irrelevant to the
core -- and that core is compulsion.
I've challenged many to posit alternative definitions or to refute mine.
The responses (few have actually be substantive) have been defective,
or upon closer examination (i.e. decomposition) justify my definitions.
I'm a bit shy at first but people warm up to me after a while.
>
> Note that there is no mention of ownership, who or what controls,

Jefferson changed "...pursuit of property" to "..pursuit of happiness".
Was he a communist?
I think they are all *very closely related*, and all deserve to be
called socialists. For me they are all peas in the same pod. The
most important thing to me is that they all have essentially the same
*goals*, they all get you to the same place, whether they involve a
nationalist (Nazism) or internationalist (Marxism) bent, a
revolutionary (Marxism and its various subtypes) or evolutionary
(Fabianism) mechanism of achieving the goals, whether they *claim* to
incorporate capitalism (various third ways claim to), or use state
corporatism (fascism, which is just another form of third way in my
opinion), whether they do or do not involve militarism or imperialism,
etc. -- all forms of socialism have more similarities than
differences. All forms involve a paradoxical form of radical
egalitarianism as a primary goal, some form of belief in collectivism
in contrast to individualism, some form of wealth equalization for the
masses, a hatred of *true* free-market capitalism, an antipathy
towards the concept of private property, radical ideas of what
constitute "rights," and, above all, as a practical matter, the
imposition of some form of leadership by the "elite" (even in so-
called democratic socialism).
They are not really the elite, of course. They are more like self-
appointed elitists, people convinced of their own superiority over the
rest of us mere mortals.

The goals to me are essentially the same for communists, Communists (I
firmly believe that Obama is at heart a Marxist), and progressives.
They therefore can all work together seamlessly. To me it scarcely
makes a difference which of the many socialist labels they give to
themselves.

I agree that those who openly label themselves Communists are more
honest about their goals. But, based on the fact that the actual
CPUSA readily supports Democrats, esp. this administration, the true
card-carrying Communists know very well that the only meaningful
difference between them and Democrats is the theoretical means of
achieving the SAME goals.
Well, I'm not sure it can be *defined* this way. I agree that the
definition has been muddied. I will also agree that your
*distillation* incorporates a great deal of truth. It is amazing that
people who believe in radical egalitarianism paradoxically believe
that only certain people are smart enough to dictate to the rest of
the herd.
> Communism: production through compulsion
Again, I would say that your distillation contains a great deal of
truth.

More likely a man good at diplomatic compromise.
I was looking for old treatments of this topic. It is not the first
time I have been involved in a discussion of socialism and its
definition. I found this old thread, not the best discussion from the
past, but which contains some discussion of the topic. If anyone
thinks it worth the time to read it, some of my opinions from 2001 are
to be found in messages 10 and 15. Hope the link works.
Interesting, you come to a lot of the same conclusions I have found and
we had never crossed paths.
The Soviet Union was a very powerful empire for awhile, until its
centrally-planned economy completely collapsed. Now it doesn't
exist. Communist China became something more akin to a third way
system to try to survive. It employs pseudo-capitalist means of
production now, or perhaps something more closely related to corporate
statism, rather than the more pure centralized planning. Cuba is a
basket case, and European democratic socialist states are in the
toilet. Even Sweden and the Netherlands are retreating from socialst
policies. I recently posted articles in that regard. It may look
like the socialists have won, but in fact, socialists can never win in
the long run. You cannot enslave productive people and force them to
take care of non-productive people for long. Obama just tried it in
this country and now he is whining about how the productive people
(businesses, capitalists) just won't cooperate. People aren't
stupid. Why should they work to take care of sewer shit? DUH.
BTW, I have heard many times the rejoinder that a conservative doesn't
know what socialism is. So far, Crowley hasn't told us. Why don't
you?
No, because he didn't advocate either (or neither) through compulsion.
Note: compulsion is the key element, not property.
Yes; thank you for your response.

Maybe you could enlighten us to the "hidden agenda" and their "real goals".
As to trying to push us into socialism, are "they" stupid...or just blind?
Blind to the fact that socialism failed miserably in Russia and North
Korea and that China is almost more Capitalist than we are. Heck, even
Fidel Castro just said a few weeks ago that their system "doesn't work
for them [Cubans] any more". Why would anyone even want socialism with a
track record like that?
Or is "socialism" your code word for "New World Order", one world
government or world domination by a select few???
Ask Obama.
> As to trying to push us into socialism, are "they" stupid...or just blind?
YES!

Asking someone like Obama to give-up their ideology is like asking the
Ayatollah to become a JEW.
Happiness is a wider scope since you can pursue property if it makes you
happy. Or you can pursue poverty if your name is Obama. But we each
have the right as an individual and NOT as a Nation.
He's probably as mystified as the rest of us who are wondering what
you're going on about.

In other words, you're just parroting stuff you've read off hard right

At least the Fabians had George Bernard Shaw to entertain you while they
tinkered with their version of heaven on earth. The modern progressive is a
boring piece of work.

*OBAMA SHOW US YOUR BUUBS*
*GOVERNMENT GONE WILD*
You're hitting the nail on the head, but you're nailing the wrong board.
Corporations "like" people, look to their own survival first.
If they "refuse to invest" it's because they perceive the need to NOT
invest out weighs the need to invest. One reason NOT to invest is that
Government has gone wild and the corporations feel the need to stay
liquid so they can react to the Government Onslaught of Legislation.
Socialism(Redistribution) is the problem and Obama touts it as the
solution. Everything Obama does is connected to redistribution.
