re: #754 BignJames

For those that may not know…from Mirriam Webster

Main Entry: socialism
Pronunciation: ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zə m
Function: noun
Date: 1837
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

First, I asked YOUR interpretation, not Mr. Webster.

Please tell me how #1 above is different than my explanation of #723. That would also include the FDA and the ATF.

Or do you think that socialism = communism (which is #2 and #3).
