I'm not going to be getting on board with socialism, but we're just going to end up with totalitarian fascism (the merger of the corporate with the state) calling itself "socialism" and the evidence is all around us in both the business and the culture.

Like I said in the other thread, I had family members (who I knew) who were in a Nazi concentration camp (Sobibor); I don't take kindly to any sort of mass movements because I know what tends to happen when people get swept up in big ideas... the next thing you know, there are prison camps and bodies being bulldozed into ditches.
