Why do socialists in America refuse to admit they are socialists?

Being that I am the most CONSERVATIVE member of ‘Poly (even according to BK, who originally held that title). I can clearly state that though Obama is very much influenced by socialist ideals, and would like to take America down the road to becoming a socialist nation, he himself is not a socialist.

How can you be influenced by socialist ideals and want to take the nation towards socialism but not be a socialist?

I'm pretty sure I took that title from you since joining here.

And Drix, you said he's a socialist since he surrounds himself with socialists. So do you think people like Biden, Geithner, Sumners, and Bernanke are socialists?

[DriXnaK]

Yes.

Does anyone really think Obama is not a socialist?

Nut.

[KrazyHorse]

Curtis, baby

Your posts are no more sensible.

Yanks discussing socialism is as usual very entertaining :Popcorn:

At least we don't have it in our country

Yet.

No, you just have a bunch of vicious little spoonfed stuck up c*nts in your country - of which you are a prime example!

[DriXnaK]

What do you call welfare, Hauldron? That's not socialism?

Also, how can a European accuse someone else of being spoonfed? Europeans are the most incompetent, nanny state raised idiots on the face of the planet. You should simply accept your uselessness on the world stage. Europe ceased being important a long time ago.

It's scary how much the Tea Party has increased the retardation level among so many Americans.

Agreed. I can't believe they're encouraging people to read obscure texts by dead writers like Friedrich Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom”.

[DriXnaK]

Why, your group of misfits encourages people to read Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto so what's the difference? In the case of the tea party, they're reading books that keep with the founding ideology of the country. The same can not be said of the communist losers like yourself in this country.

RtS is okay, but a bit of a polemic.

Individualism and Economic Order is much better.
