Quote by: Osborn F Enready  It doesn't matter what label you choose, or is affixed to you..... your actions exemplify what you "are", and Hillary is a communist, but only admits to being a socialist, while calling herself a "progressive". |

socialist - Definitions from Dictionary.com
Hillary isn't for giving the government complete control over all the means of production and distribution, Ron Paul isn't for giving the government no control over any means of production and distribution.
So either they are both socialists or neither of them are, because that definition doesn't leave room for some intermediary threshold point.
Communism strangely doesn't require Marxism.
