We modern Marxists regard socialism as a historically brief transitional stage between feudalism and capitalism, necessary only in backward countries.

I was guilty of judging capitalism by its operations and socialism by its hopes and aspirations; capitalism by its works and socialism by its literature.

In different places over the years I have had to prove that socialism, which to many western thinkers is a sort of kingdom of justice, was in fact full of coercion, of bureaucratic greed and corruption and avarice, and consistent within itself that socialism cannot be implemented without the aid of coercion. Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as "we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology". The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion. This is one point. Untouched by the breath of God, unrestricted by human conscience, both capitalism and socialism are repulsive.

Hillary Clinton bothers me a lot. I realized the other day that her thoughts sound a lot like Karl Marx. She hangs around a lot of Marxists. All her friends are Marxists.

Busted! Out of Order. And Out of Luck
Those 'isms' have them doing deep knee bends.
Heavy burdened are their shoulders,
With fear of socialism.
And capitalism ending their delusions betrayed.
No one seems to realize,
They've sold their souls for a few dollars...
Deceit, alibis and lies.
And these days now witnessed makes this clear.
To those whose eyes have been made to open wide.
Those 'isms' have them doing deep knee bends.
Heavy burdened are their shoulders,
With fear of socialism.
And capitalism ending their delusions betrayed.
But no time was given,
In the speedy spending of their ways...
To build upon an integrity.
With 'some' dignity that had been saved.
Busted!
Out of order.
And out of luck like a plucked duck baking.

I see you acting modernly with the boys and girls

Familiarity breeds contempt but it doesn't show

Now a great debate has been born. The thesis is Democratic Socialism. The antithesis is free-market capitalism. The Obama Democrats have posed the challenge. It is now up to the Republicans to pick it up and fight along these lines.
