    Waiting for good free health care after a day of hard work doesn't sound that bad.

    I'm pretty sure this person can't see the difference between socialism and communism/extremists.
    You should never judge ideologies after extremists.

    Well communism never really had a formal definition because Marx kind of thought it would be different in every circumstance. One of my prof's had this great kitchen analogy but I can never remember it. Maybe it had something to do with how some people cook without a recipe, just eyeballing ingredients? I duno.

    Basically though, communism is an endstate to the Marxist revolutionary sequence, wherein there is no state, no classes, and everyone is happy. Of course, there have been plenty of state's to call themselves communist, but no one has really met this ideological definition

    Dude, that is nothing.
    Meet FacistPatriot.
    That is to say, the first thing that I saw from Facist was him calling the entirety of the left wing mentally insane... as quoting a madman who murdered people.

    He also supported the killing of leftist-raised children.

    Honestly until we see what he can do in office or what he will do, I will not judge the man. However Im hoping that he will set an example and have more socialist elected around Europe.

    Every government needs to be moderate, if we choose its like choosing of one the lesser evils..we must find balance.

    The government just has to serve the needs and wants of the people, as of right now the elections of France have spoken that they want someone of a socialist position in charge of government, though he did get in using an populist platform.

    Though honestly he is more of a social-democrat, though the French Socialist party is way more socialist then Britian.

    Wait the newly elected president supported Gaddafi, or was he against intervention? Though I honestly don't mind that because you can at at least make some arguments that Gaddafi did some good, but then again you can make that with any world leader. But his support or lack of support for Libya doesn't matter to be, though it will show what he will do with Syria.

    Ah, I found the best title for this now: Why I Dislike Big Government, now I can just switch all the words "socialist" to "big government" and problem solved.
