The more I read posts on here / debate with people the more convinced I am that Americans have no idea what Communism, Socialism is. Personally I believe in pragmatism. Some things are best done by yourself. Some by private companies, for profit, and some by Government, for the public good. Any political system followed religiously falls apart after time.

@22Michelle I'm not sure about Americans not knowing communism or socialism. The truth is that we have 2/3 capitalism and 1/3 socialism. I will argue that even where these policies are implemented are supported by hememony of their own in certain parts of the world.

@RisingMorningStar7 Indeed they do. And a healthier, better educated population leads to a more productive workforce. For a country it's a good long term investment.

@22Michelle Yes... What you have in America do is that you tax the middle man and give onto the poor instead of taxing the rich.

@RisingMorningStar7 many people work and take some form of goverment aid.
They are moochers. And that aid should be cut off. They should have to work like the rest of us.

@Reason10 people work and receive aid, and cutting the funding for such things will make the U.S look like third world nation.

@22Michelle I think sometimes socialism could be beneficial. I may have a skewed understanding of socialism.

@Reason10 If you cut the aid, America will look far worse. America is is collapsing its trajectory is downward and its picking up speed. The reason why your seeing more Military expenditures is because America is trying to hold to what it has, that's why there're so much brainwashing going on online about joining the military.
