re: #470 eclectic infidel

Well, working within our own system of checks and balances, parties would be elected into power via their nominations and laws would be introduced such as nationalizing the power grid, creating national health care, promoting legislation that strengthens unions again, penalizing companies that refuse to hire Americans but willingly go offshore to hire workers in dirt poor countries. Just some examples. Would it be workable in this current political climate? No way. Too many still hear the word socialism and believe that anyone who wants to promote it is a fascist. I sometimes see the U.S. as a 2 year old that has learned to walk but not yet control its bowels and when it defecates on him/herself, it seeks to blame someone else, rather than itself. Hope the imagery wasn’t too creepy for you.

And the day I support any sort of nationalization will never come. Democratic Socialism equals stagnation and failure.
