re: #708 Walter L. Newton

I’m sorry. I don’t like any collective politics. But the history of the world is much more complicated than US Good, Them Bad. That may be the final outcome, but, how people and governments get there is generally complex.

You can’t dismiss it all with an opinion.

And the economic system and the form of government are very much entwined, but they’re still not the same thing.

Capitalism and democracy work well with each other. And democracy can work with socialism too- just ask our Canadian friends. However- there is no such thing as a socialist government. It is an economic system. France, while socialist, is a democracy.
