I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.
I am angry that the Democrats don't have the ability to explain to Republicans that we should be able to feed people in this country, and that is not socialism.
One difference between libertarianism and socialism is that a socialist society can't tolerate groups of people practicing freedom, but a libertarian society can comfortably allow people to choose voluntary socialism. If a group of people - even a very large group - wanted to purchase land and own it in common, they would be free to do so. The libertarian legal order would require only that no one be coerced into joining or giving up his property.
Socialism is a new form of slavery.
[It is b]etter to die on the losing side than to live under communisim.
I acknowledge Mike Leigh and Ken Loach. They are prostlytizers of English socialism preaching to the converted and telling us what we already know.

Along this road of spending, the government either takes over, which is Socialism, or dictates institutional and economic life, which is Fascism.
The idea of Socialism is at once grandiose and simple. . . We may say, in fact, that it is one of the most ambitious creations of the human spirit,. . . so magnificent, so daring, that it has rightly aroused the greatest admiration. If we wish to save the world from barbarism we have to refute Socialism, but we cannot thrust it carelessly aside.
Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state.
For the West, the enemy was not "socialism" but capitalism. How to tame and subdue the polar bear, how to take over the talent, the science, the technology, how to buy out the human capital, how to acquire the intellectual property rights?
