| I don't know about you but to me, the US is already socialist. Not in the same way as a Canada or a France but the federal government has situated itself, as the rightful doer of our deeds.
Real socialism depends upon a work ethic. Those who don't work will be even lower on the totem pole of life. The problem with socialism is that most of us who do work, will all be equal, no matter what level of work we do.
I'm against equality except for our human rights. Even in civil rights, we cannot all be the same. Laws that try making us the same, take away any individuality that we might possess.
By the way, America (as in the United States) has never had an Empire except itself. I think you have it confused with those European nations, who colonialized around the globe. |
