    Given 55% of Americans, as of recent, don't want Obamacare, I doubt a Socialist Revolution would be very popular. Actually the majority would probably join the army to help stop the rebellion.

    Well I'm left, but I sure as hell can't be called a Socialist. Social Democrats and most modern Liberals are left, but they sure as hell aren't Socialists.

    Really seems like all you need right now is a better understanding of all this terminology.

    How would you like it if I called right-libertarianism a plague?

    @Kalalification *laughs* stop tickling me!

    I wouldn't have even half as much of a problem with socialism if it didn't style itself the way it does.

    Maoist Rebel News is wearing a suit now. Does that help?

    It helps me a little bit, dressing like well a collage student doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. If the wall street protesters wore suits I bet the police would be more inclined to leave them alone and they would seem more mainstream.

    Yes, Scandinavia is a desolate wasteland full of poor, unhappy people, just like Yugoslavia was.
    What is it with you and your Kara-style extremism lately? You used to be so cool, Shaw.

    Really? Is leftism a plague? All I have to link you to is:
    http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-a ... rome-pt--1
    You call my country a plague? Have we ever instilled dictators upon other nations, do we invade nations without reason? Do we take money from those who need it to give it in tax cuts to the top 1%? I'd say that we aren't a plague but that conservatism is the plague.

    Scandinavia is social democratic, not socialist.

    @Kali I try to avoid using soviet references now, happy?

    If Scandinavia ever became socialist, it would be terrible. But they aren't, they are center-right-libertarian. And the left isn't all bad, just that a good number of the vocal leftists I have ever heard of have been socialist wackjobs.

    And sorry about the coolness, I've been stressed out since summer ended and getting in to ideological fights with people amuses me.

    leftist means far-left. Far-left is inherently socialist in some matter.

    @ I have come to disregard your use of terminology as you usually make stupid shit up that doesn't make sense.
    What would you then call the rest of the people on the left? "Not-as-far-leftists"?
