Teema: Re: what I consider to be a better understanding of the world & politics,
Artful Dodger:
"I'm still waiting for anyone to give a good example of where socialism has worked for the average man."
Hasn't one good example been discussed just today? In England, a national health care system protects the lives & health of all citizens. For the average joe, I would imagine life & health to be a good thing. Here in America, national health care is considered (by some) an evil, a form of "creeping socialism." As a result, many average joes & their families suffer, some even to the point of death. I would say the average joe is better off with a national health care system, whatever label you might choose to stigmatize it.
