I stated, more than once I believe, that I was advocating a mixture of capitalism and socialism. To state that history proves your opinion to be "fact" is both egotistical and misleading. You cannot prove a negative for one, and all purely socialist states up to this point have also been Cylinsierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489708585233902408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845675837454682803.post-23666821461371199542009-08-05T16:21:32.435-04:002009-08-05T16:21:32.435-04:00Well you know you've made it as a blogger when...Well you know you've made it as a blogger when the assholes come out of the woodwork and go into a Limbaugh-esque rage. But I'm glad you came back, Wesley. I was worried I might have intimidated you to the point that you'd be afraid to return. I'll try to answer your points in turn and hopefully by the time I'm done, you will have had time to wipe the spittle off your Cylinsierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489708585233902408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845675837454682803.post-80592886415694405552009-08-05T14:59:02.161-04:002009-08-05T14:59:02.161-04:00The argument that "Socialism never works"...The argument that "Socialism never works" is bullshit. The United States is, and has been for sometime, a clever mix of socialism and capitalism. All modern societies are. Some to a heavier degree than us. The European Union, on the whole, is an essentially socialist body. Individual member states have varying degrees of socialist societies. The EU does fairly well, not despite this, Ellipseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061702655686662457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845675837454682803.post-89352908566181063282009-08-05T14:48:31.907-04:002009-08-05T14:48:31.907-04:00You flatter yourself that I spent the better part ...You flatter yourself that I spent the better part of my day writing my comment. It took as long as it takes to wipe my ass which is a favorable comparison to answering your tripe both in its bouquet and vein popping joy. <br /><br />True to form, you are a liberal elitist and rather than engage me on the valid points, you change the subject and attack me personally.

It therefore saddens me that you are obviously far too stupid to understand the point I was making and have thus wasted probably the better part of your day writing it. I try as hard as I can to make the difference between socialism and communism clear. What I was advocating in my blog, since you missed it, is a mix of Cylinsierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489708585233902408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845675837454682803.post-88969599708164130112009-08-04T18:22:50.075-04:002009-08-04T18:22:50.075-04:00Blogitard…Your ignorance is breathtaking yet I see...Blogitard…Your ignorance is breathtaking yet I see you have the capacity to define the argument the way you want and then defend the façade you have created. <br /><br />So let me break it down for you B-Tard.
