i see the word 'socialist' bandyied around a lot on this and other forums. it seems to be equated with 'satanism', or something like that. americans even commonly refer to the democrats as 'socialist'.
it's really clear that most americans have no idea what 'socialism' means.
the highest standard of living is not enjoyed by americans, but by the swedes and norwegians, who have socialist governments.

That's what gets my goat every time.
Socialism isn't perfect but to see it bandied about in the same breath as satanism? That's just absurd.
