    Nope, but not massively in debt, at war, or targeted by Donald Trump for invasion.

      I thought they were for the non working class, jihadis and big business
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        As I've said on a few occasions recently, we need world peace to break out and see what direction the world heads in when there's no arms race. That won't happen though as it doesn't appear to be in America's interest for there to be peace.

          Any of those do?
          Not sure which of those you would call a socialist state. The only one I checked was Canada, where the Conservative party is currently holding power. By "socialist", I meant politically left wing governments with full socialist policies, not just places with high tax.

          Got it! Venezuela! Hang on, I am getting an update... Oh, spent it way to implosion, humanitarian crisis pending. Sorry...

            Very true.


            It's not in America's interest as long as they are able to make money from war. If the weapons suppliers were penalised when their weapons were used by terrorists or against that country's own troops, you might see a different response.
            The American capitalist experiment has failed. Proof can be seen in the memes posted by the gun lovers and tea party followers. They are against any form of social care. If you can't afford it, you should be kicked out of the country. They are against any sense of responsibility for your actions - provided you can pay to cover them up.
            Many socialist governments are as corrupt.

                Can we please just do an Iceland and get it over with?!

                It's going to happen one way or the other - or rather the events leading up to it and the inevitable melt down...
