Well Socialism is not what many goverments in the past have been, at least they derive as a totalitarian states.
 
One thing is that you say that socialism is what you might think it is and other is what really is.

Clap nowhere close to it... what we are doing.. hopefully...  is turning away from an unfettered free-market system.  Like I said in the health care thread...  everything should not be a commodity to be bought and sold... there should.. and can exist institutions. ...industries whose soul purpose is not making a profit... but making a difference.

Socialism is a grand idea that has failed to work in some of its most extreme attempts, but is part of virtually every government that has ever been. The options are complete despotism or complete libertarianism.

It's pretty difficult to have a civilized society without an educated populace.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

What's funny is that what I see with the Obama administration re: banks is that they're doing everything except the "socialist" solution:  nationalization/receivership, which actually might have the best chance of success.  In any event, instead of going down that path they pursue half-ass solutions such as this public/private toxic asset scheme, which is only in the end a massive ripoff to the taxpayer.
