Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth into a small section of society who control capital, and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved.

Socialism is not a discrete philosophy of fixed doctrine and program; its branches advocate a degree of social interventionism and economic rationalization, sometimes opposing each other. Another dividing feature of the socialist movement is the split on how a socialist economy should be established between the reformists and the revolutionaries. Some socialists advocate complete nationalization of the means of production, distribution, and exchange; while others advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy. Social democrats propose selective nationalization of key national industries in mixed economies combined with tax-funded welfare programs; Libertarian socialism (which includes Socialist Anarchism and Libertarian Marxism) rejects state control and ownership of the economy altogether and advocates direct collective ownership of the means of production via co-operative workers’ councils and workplace democracy.

Socialism is the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.

It was federal government policies and programs that caused most of the problems of the inner city today. The fact that Obama wants to try more of the same only shows that absolute dearth of ideas emanating from the left regarding urban policy.
The definition of Socialism is from Wikipedia.

Also, Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution, it being the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.

It’s not a question of ends, it’s a question of means.

Either government’s role is not merely to protect and preserve liberty, or it is to usurp it, to trample on it. You cannot possibly draw distinctions among the ENDS for which it may do this – because (1) those distinctions are subjective – they are merely the ideals that any individual might have, and (2) ALL such proposed objectives will simply be represented as “for the children” or “for the good of the whole” – those phrases become meaningless (they already have) and pretty soon it’s just a feeding frenzy, people become less focused on creating wealth than on taking it from others, and then there is less to go around.

Freedom and wealth creation go hand in hand, folks.
We’re not talking about helping an elderly homeless person on the streetcorner.

We’re talking about mugging the next 10 people who walk down the street, paying ourselves for the effort and then giving the elderly homeless woman 25 cents on the dollar, and justifying this by either or both of (1) there are 11 of us so we’re a ‘majority’ and (2) look we gave money to an elderly homeless woman.

The inability of so many to see how this creates a precedent for 11 to mug 10 for any purpose is frightening.
Brian please see my other posts, I am a Libertarian, I oppose corporate welfare and think it’s even worse than individual welfare….. I think gays should be allowed to marry each other – - – you won’t see ME at any of the ceremonies, and I think they’re NUTS, but it’s supposed to be a FREE country and you have a right to be nuts!
Hopeful, you should try to be Thoughtful instead – a material minimum wage hike would only put people out of work. That’s what price floors do.

Like him or not, Bill Clinton was a centrist economically.

In his speeches prior to becoming President Clinton highlighted the need for the party to embrace many “supply side” policys. Clinton led the charge for a balanced budget, and free trade agreements, which spelled prosperity and wealth creation during his tenure.

None of this is heard from Obama. In fact, he has spoken out against free trade agreements, and, has offered little by way of knowing how many pro business growth initiatives he would support if President.

So, is Obama going to take the Democrats back a generation?

Isn’t it the middle and upper-middle classes who get hurt? The rich simply hedge their wealth, relocate it, and cease corporate / job creation ventures when further taxed. And yet people side themselves with tax raising candidates. Do we not know the facts that lowering taxes (including on the wealthy) ALWAYS results in economic stimulation for all. We’ll always have bums and lazy folk. Citizens should NEVER be forced to provide for them.

Looks like this is all about energy, right? Isn’t this why people are buying up commodity rights and commodities, because they have figured out that this is how we drain society of all the wealth. This is, this pricing of energy is, the new control of the masses. People will not have to attend churches anymore, just give to the energy pumps and you have worshipped enough. The right God for our time, eh? The Creation Energy God!
