| A socialist government, defined by dictionary.com, is "the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT that often plans and controls the economy."
Zimbabwe's production is owned by a centralized government. Libya's government owns all production. Sierra Leone is also under centralized government (only some portions of Sierra Leone are under civil disorder). Pakistan's centralized government also owns all means of production.
On contrast, an ideal capitalistic government allows all forms of freedom, while only placing very minimal barriers to protect against danger (ie. murder, assault, burgulary, etc are all illegal). So in effect a libertarian government to an extent.
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
