This question is mainly aimed at people on here who claim to be socialists.
Have you ever lived in a socialist country? Do you have any personal experience with socialism?
pardon me if i highjack your thread for a moment.
you do know that democracy is socialism don't you, its just a clever rouse to confuse the people.
democracy allows people too create their own rights ,thus creating every handouts they the people wish give themselves.
this is why the American founders say that in democracies , they fail.......when people find out they can vote for anything from the public trough.
republican forms of governments ......rights are endowed by the creator...and government is limited.
Yes i Have.
And it was great..........to bad they protect the jobs of thier citizens and do not allow foreigners to work there........
Unlike USA........which screws its citizens and gives their disabiltiy payments to Obamas foreign criminal aunt............
Read the 16th Amendmentthe USA has immigration laws, which are not being followed by both parties.
in the constitution of the founders, your money is your, not other peoples...a direct tax on the people is unconstitutional.
So I'm going to put you in the "no" category, because you've clearly never experienced actual socialism.

the truth is, yes i have, ..why?
because the union is not being run according too the constitution, and government has moved us away from republican government of the constitution , and moved us closer to democracy which is a collective type government, which redistributes wealth, and tells people its impossible to make it without government help " you didn't built that"--obama 2012
republican government ,there is no direct taxes on the people, and people property rights are totally secure, in the USA property rights are NOT SECURE.

It sounds like you're voting for the right guy, but look.... real socialism is 70%+ taxation, $10/gallon gas, universal healthcare, government owned liquor distribution, government owned utilities, etc.
Actually, that's just Europe under the social democrats.
REAL socialism is government owned farms, industries, etc... think USSR.

That's a little contrived. :shock:
Want to explain further?

Do you have any modicum of evidence to support that? It's a nice little aphorism, but hardly true.the more laws and regulations we create to protect ourselves....the more laws and regulations we have to create to protect ourselves from the laws and regulations that we already created
Socialism isn't necessarily nationalist. Learn to differentiate between the two. :shock:and after we have too many laws and regulations, we have entered something very close to socialism.

While I was in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany in the 80's I visited East and West Berlin before the fall of the USSR and after. Here are a couple pictures that I've found online that are good representations of what I saw in Alexander Platz, East Berlin.
Before the fall:

After the fall:

What struck me the most before:
Everything was grey. Very little color. Quiet. No loud voices. No crowds. People would look at me out of the corner of their eyes...but nobody would speak to me.
After:
Complete opposite. Children, young people, adults laughing, smiling, talking...even to me. Color everywhere.
