This is how REAL socialism works! Because it's all about helping the poor! Because we're the ones who REALLY care about other people! It's all about fairness!

I have no doubt that you obviously have no concerns about playing into the Propaganda Machine of Fox News which will take your reference to the Chavez article and use it against Occupy Wall St. Be careful! Be careless like this and the movement will suffer. Your personal catharsis is less important than crafting a positive message that Americans can relate to, such as succintly put, get corporations out of American government. This is simple common sense.

American government is the problem, Wall Street corruption is the the symptom. I don't get my news from Fox by the way - you just assume if I'm not left, I must be right. This movement is doomed all by itself, because it is appealing to the wolf to protect the lambs. You realize corporations are a creature of the government. They are a legal fiction. The government legalizes their "personhood", and limits their liability. The gov allows them to get "too big to fail" and bails them out when they do. And yes, I'm trolling. I have read about a zillion posts today, advocating just was Chavez is doing.

Corporations are here to stay. They will never be eliminated. I'm not sure if that's what you are advocating. But corporations can be held in check and the list of 8 demands of Occupy Wall St are a great start.

There are many faiths and beliefs and we all need to respect them all if we are to ever be free of religious oppression by any one religion like the Right Wing Christians. Keeping the faith is working for freedom for all and that is the real religion, the religion of freedom.

No, not all beliefs deserve respect. The Socialist/Communist/Marxist dogma that this site is drenched in deserves derision. The answer to right wing christian war mongers is not far left socialism! Freedom means freedom from government. Peace.

Freedom means freedom. This means getting rid of (locking them up) all evil people, even if they are Christians. Evil means anybody who lives to make life a living hell all day every day.
