Forum Post: IMPORTANT - A Call For Informed Rethinking

Hi Occupiers,

I am a freethinker & simple Populist and I have been doing research about the presidential candidates. I dug up some links you might find interesting. Please read them over and talk about them if you agree they ought to be discussed.

Important Info Links:

3. Socialism - If it goes wrong, like Capitalism it goes way wrong in the case of a country without defense against a harsh dictator when there are no other options and families are being threatened in their homes as we've seen in some cases with this government. It also does not necessarily gel with the Constitution in parts. So if thought about, think of a blend that extracts any foreseeable clashes.: http://socialistparty-usa.org/principles.html
