[Cafe Hayek] Cafe Hayek: Is Barack Obama a Socialist?: It turns out that's an unrealistic goal, and that while free market capitalism can at times fail us, its never failed as miserably as socialist experiments. In fact, while socialism light created the internet, capitalism made it accessible to nearly everyone on the planet, made it inexpensive, and made it useful.

[Socialist News and Analysis - WSP (US)] Marx or Keynes again | wspus.org: While the German Finance Minister, Peer Steinbrück, of the Social Democratic Party, has said that “certain parts of Marx’s thinking are really not so bad” (Times, 20 October) his British counterpart, Labourite Alistair Darling said (typically) “much of what Keynes wrote still makes sense” (Sunday Telegraph, 19 October). Commenting on this, Keynes’s biographer, Lord Skidelsky wrote “anyone under 40 might well have asked: ”˜And who on earth is Keynes?’” (Times, 23 October).
[For Your Health - Physical, Mental and Environmental Health] The not so invisible hand : How the Plunge protection team killed ...: The difference between an acknowledged socialist state and the stealth socialism we have in the U.S. today is that in a socialist state, everyone expects the market to be rigged and operates accordingly. In a rigged pseudo-capitalist economy, investors are easily separated from their money because they expect the market to follow “free market principles” based on “supply and demand.” They are seduced into “pump and dump” schemes - artificial manipulations that allow insiders to unload stock at a high price or buy it at a low price - because they trust in Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,” which is supposed to automatically set things right in a market left to its own devices.
[World News Forum - Open Publishing] Barack Obama having “socialist views” - World News Forum - Open ...: This is the middle class and the “working poor.” They do not qualify for social services which are reserved for the completely destitute and they do not have the extra money to “get ahead.” So, in America, a socialist democrat has the “luxury” of slightly changing the tax laws in a way that SLIGHTLY raises the taxes on a very small but very wealthy segment of the population. This shift would not only ease the tax burden on the middle class and working poor but also afford the government the ability to extend social services such as universal health care to ALL Americans thus FURTHER easing the burden on the middle class.

[FoundryForward] FoundryForward » Blog Archive » On Socialism: McCain Gets It Wrong: Number one, and the only number that’s needed, is that socialism is grossly unethical and antithetical to America’s foundational ideas of rights and liberty. It’s wrong because it inverts the relationship between man and society so that rather than each man being an end unto himself, he is a means for the accomplishment of the “good of society.”

[Kruse Kronicle] Kruse Kronicle: Is Barack Obama really a socialist?: The vary name “Emergent” comes from the philosophical notion of “emergence,” which Wikipedia explains refers to, “”¦the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions.” Thus, the emerging church resistance to hierarchical ecclesiastical structures and the cherished notion of generative communities giving witness against the Empire (in true Hauerwasian fashion) in their independent contexts, watching new ways of being spontaneously emerge and converge.
[Default Site Weblog] ANJ: How Socialist Politicians, Legislating Judges and A Leftist ...: Democrat Party leaders formed and began a 65-year indoctrination and educational political socialization program barely within the parameters of the US Constitution. That effort would end with the 2006-2008 congressional and presidential elections that would end forever the democratic republic government and free market process in America.
