Democratic Socialism Hello R: Yeah... That is one messed up group of words.. But, no matter WHAT you wanna call it, socialism WORKS within our capitalistic society.. Let's just take your local fire department.. The state OWNS the means of production. Everybody pays IN, and everybody gets the benefits. That's socialism personified, and it seems to work pretty good. We need to do the same thing with health care. excon Side: Truth

The Fire Department doesn't own or monopolize any "means of production". Hello again, bront: DUDE! The Fire Department IS the government.. And, it OWNS the trucks, the hoses and the fire house.. THAT, my right wing friend, IS the means of production for the fire department... Look.. You may not LIKE that socialism is working within the framework of a capitalistic nation, but you CANNOT deny it. excon Side: Truth
