if getting the rothschilds, rockefellers, morgans, leehmans, and the other 9 families of the cartel and charging them under the RICO act, shut their banks down, throw them in prison, and take all the wealth they've stolen from the american people and redistribute it all back to them makes me a socialist then sign me the fuck up for that.

that doesn't make you a socialist at all. That makes you a seeker of justice.

I osted this cause I see so many people on here saying OWS is socialist, when the above is one of the main concerns of OWS (from what I can gather) I.E. prosecuting those responsible for wrecking our economy.

It makes you a socialist and a retard.seriously dude, stealing doesnt make stealing in retribution right under any society.

perpetrators of crimes are expected to pay restitution to their victims, especially when that crime includes theft. restitution is not stealing in retribution.

Redistribution of wealth is Socialism. Period. And if you want that that is fine. Just know what you are asking for. Watch in Europe as the much more Socialistic nations like Greece crumble under the weight of the obligations the Government has to the people. If that is what people want understand that it comes with strings. In order to have a government that takes care of you that means you get what they decide to give you. Anyone who has ever been on unemployment, welfare, or food stamps will know what I am talking about.

I don't think taking money that was stolen from the american people and giving it back to them is redistribution. I think of more as victims compensation. Bernie Madoff is a good example; he took money from people under false pretenses and now he is expected to make re-compensation.

What I've learned in life and what I think you'll agree with is that its not what you know, its who you know...there will always be someone who comes to try and manipulate things by influencing the powers that be to vote in his/her favor. That is why we need to simplify the govt down to the bare essentials and let the free markets do the rest. Enough govt intervention.

Ahaha i wrote that comment to a person who tries to be a real socialist.

Really what's wrong with socialism? it's evil because russians liked it or for it's against free market and capitalism? Yeah surely socialism seems evil when you look from Rockefeller's window. But i really can't understand how they make whole country think like that.

Ohh Greenday's singin: Don't want to be an american idiot. don't want a nation under the new media and can you hear the sound of hysteria? the subliminal mind fuck america. welcome to a new kind of tension. all across the alien nation...

It is evil if you are the one benefiting from robbing and enslaving other human beings to make more money and accumulate wealth.
