Forum Post: On the Image of Socialism

                    ............

    Americans are more afraid of the word 'socialism' 
      than they are of cancer, hiv or world war III.
        and they will fight it to their graves …

    Calm down people, you are only fighting a 'word' …    
      Neither socialism or capitalism exist in nature 
                  without the other…
           Alone they are mere philosophies… 

   Socialism without capitalistic freedom & incentives 
            will fail just as miserably as 
            Capitalism without regulation 
              has just demonstrated... 

  We can build a "true democracy" founded on the dreams 
           of all mankind & all ideologies...
                   We are the 99%

........

The study of old theorys help to understand the problems... buy they don't solve them ...

We need something better... and there are many ways to do it better ... if we focus on our freedoms ....

I believe we will incorporate a zillion systems... and not one of them better than the other...

but together they will rise up and wipe out poverty... with an added bonus ...

allowing us to be free without putting restrictions on anyone... business owners or workers...

One example... create a fund that loans capital for 100% employee owned enterprise... etc. there are many many opportunities to raise prosperity for all...

jump on board with your knowledge and help .... design ideas that will work... we need many... not just the best one... because that doesn't exist ... And think about this... All the past isms have proven failure... we need to take the best parts from all of them... invent new ones.. and use them all..
