Chomsky on Socialism
Noam Chomsky responds to a caller's request for his thoughts on socialism, during a 2003 interview by Brian Lamb, for C-SPAN's "In Depth" program. He describes how socialism was equated with the Leninist model of the Soviet Union by both the USA and its allies on the one hand, and the USSR and its allies on the other. Full interview available @ www.c-spanarchives.org I also recommend the following video, where Chomsky further describes the double-sided anti-socialist propaganda (beginning @ 7:55): www.youtube.com And here's a 1986 essay by Chomsky on the Soviet half of the anti-socialist duo: www.chomsky.info
Socialism vs. Capitalism. (Part One)

What is Socialism?
Wealth inequality has never been greater in America. The huge gap between the haves and the have-nots has come to forefront, especially with the rise of the Occupy Movement. But does a flaw in the system mean that the US might actually prefer a system besides Capitalism?

What is socialism? What is capitalism?
Borne of my frustration with all the youtube videos attempting to explain socialism and capitalism based on misconceptions (this applies to both sides of the political spectrum) this video is an attempt to provide a brief, concise explanation of capitalism for the uninitiated. The goal is to present an in-depth understanding of both systems and what they imply. What does it mean to say that socialism is based on "social" or "cooperative" ownership? What does production for profit imply, and what is capital in the context of "capitalism"? PS: Forgive me if some of the explanations sound rushed or a little incomplete. I had to condense the content to fit within Youtube's 10:59 time limit.

Michael Prysner points out that a single president is not the problem, it is the system.

What's the real definition of socialism? How is it distinct from regulation and a social welfare state?

Socialism in America
Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.

Ralph Nader: Corporate socialism runs US government
With midterm elections in the US about to begin, RT has spoken with 4-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader about the real powers that govern America. Ralph Nader does not belong to either of the two parties ruling Congress. Nader believes that Theodore Dreiser put it very well many years ago, when he said that "the corporations are the government". "Knowing they [corporations] can't be out front because people don't like a lot of these big corporations, they are ripped off by the banks and credit card companies, they camouflage and their camouflage is that they give the Tea Parties certain deceptive information and focus on certain politicians, and therefore they continue their work behind the scenes. We have corporate socialism in this country where profits are kept and losses are socialized on the back of the taxpayer," Nader said. "There isn't a single department agency in the US government whose outside influence overwhelmingly is not corporate," he added. "They control from the outside, they put their representatives into government positions, funding the members of Congress with their cash [and] 35000 full-time lobbyists in Washington -- they are the government."

The Socialist
twitter.com www.benhoweblog.com Synopsis Every age seeks visionaries to leave, in the wake of their genius, a changed world - but rarely are they found without a few strikeout also-rans getting a crack first. In 2008, millions of Americans thought they had found the real thing. Over the subsequent two years the nation moved inexorably - though rarely without battle - toward European-style socialism. Through the warring perspectives of a few powerful, deluded men and women who claim to know what's best for you resulted a national drama rife with both bureaucracy creation and wealth destruction. The Socialist moved from the halls of academia to the offices of ACORN to a pew in Chicago, and eventually all the way to the oval office, all the while spurred on by the heady early days of a culture-changing phenomenon in the making. In the midst of the chaos and mounting disasters, average American citizens began to object, eventually adding up to more than the sum of their parts in what has become a multifront, 21st century clash of worldviews. This film has not yet been rated, but the story received a solid B+ from the White House. Catch the beginning of the end in theaters November 2010, with the ultimate conclusion to be seen worldwide in November of 2012.

BHO Admits He's a Socialist
Barack Hussein Obama admits that in his view tax policy is less about revenue and more about "fairness," so even if you collect less revenue, it's better to punish the evil "rich" (anyone with a job basically under liberals' definition) than to let people enjoy the fruits of their labor. Can one of you libs do me a favor and answer the folloiwng questions: (1) where does the government get the moral authority to take the fruits of one person's labor and give them to another? (In 1850, we had a system like that in the southern states. You may have heard it. We called it "slavery." (2) Why is letting someone keep the money he or she earns "giving" them something, as in the hackneyed and idiotic liberal mantra "tax cuts for the rich?"

Ronald Reagan on Socialism & Liberalism
ElehantOwners(dotcom) Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people would adopt every fragment of the socialist program. There are many ways in which our government has invaded the free precincts of private citizens, method of earning a living; our government is in business to the extent of owning more than 19000 businesses covering 47 different lines of activity. This amounts to 1/5th of the total industrial capacity of the United States.
Socialist World Republic - Sozialistische Weltrepublik
An epic movie filled with symbolism about the battle for freedom and equal rights! (With english and german subtitles) This movie portrays two ideologies fighting each other. The ideology of GREEDY SELFISHNESS and the ideology of EQUAL RIGHTS. The maggot king, desperate to acquire even more wealth looks for new opportunities. And these opportunities lie in the east, where the people have still not been enslaved by the greedy empires. Producers (Pigs) are happy about a possible war, because they will be able to gain a lot of profit on cheap labor and the war ministers (Spiders) are happy as well, because a war means that they will wield more soldiers and thus more power! Everyone will be better of. So it seems, but no one asked the people. Although they are over 99% of the population, they will gain nothing from a war, only suffering and death. Unwilling to go to war, the government brainwashes them to brain-dead fleas and so they assault the Soviet Lands. However the people of the USSR are determined to liberate their motherland from the white empires. Because only when the red flag is victorious, only then all people around the world will become free. With their red flags they enlighten the fleas who are able to think freely once again and turn back to humans. As such, they turn their rifles against their rulers and change the society into a democratic socialist one. All countries unite and form the Socialist World Republic. Eternal peace and friendship has come! Music ...

Maxine Waters (D) Slip of the Tongue Reveals True Intentions (Socialism for America)
A slip of the tongue reveals the true intentions of Maxine Waters (D) during a house hearing while arrogantly grilling oil executives including John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company. This liberal, Maxine Waters starts to be honest by revealing herself as a Socialist, but stops, stumbles and then comes up with a more accepted answer. Oops! The guy next to her sighs with relief when she finally gets the words out America would want to hear her actually say, the lady next to him seems to be holding back her laughter. A pathetic real time revelation of the true identity of one of our nations liberal Democrat decision makers.

"America has to wake up to this new reality: the Cold War battle between communism and capitalism is back, only this time it's on our front porch. It went underground in the 70s, got an education, put on a suit, bought a house and had a couple of kids. Then it used the schools to educate new foot soldiers and manipulated the pop culture to indoctrinate the next generation of fellow travelers who seek to create a new world order in the image of old world Marxism."

Socialism is BAD!
Dear Diary This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by socialist electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the socialist clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the socialist radio to one of the FCC regulated channels to hear what the socialist National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using socialist satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of socialist US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the socialist drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. At the appropriate time as kept accurate by the socialist National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my socialist National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the socialist roads build by the socialist local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the socialist Environmental Protection Agency, using socialist legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the socialist US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the socialist public ...

Former Soviet Citizen Confronts Socialists at Occupy Wall Street (Part 3)
My 2 cents on Socialism, Communism and Capitalism. 1. There have never existed Socialist or Communist countries. 2. Countries that do use these words in the names of the countries or claim to have such system are ALL in reality Totalitarian Dictatorships. 3. There remain only 2 such countries today: North Korea and Cuba. The list used to include USSR, China, Vietnam, Poland, DDR, Czechoslovakia, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Cambodia, Laos, Mozambique, Angola and many more countries. 4. The best political litmus test to see what category the country belongs to is to see if its citizens can leave it freely: if you get a bullet in the back of your head trying (like crossing the Berlin Wall), it's a Totalitarian Dictatorship aka "Socialist" or "Communist". 5. Does capitalism fail in some countries? Yes! In what countries? Where the private property and intellectual property laws are lax and corruption is high. 6. Please check where your country belongs based on any of the 2 indexes that use different criteria: International Property Tax Index: www.internationalpropertyrightsindex.org (top 3 in it are Finland, Sweden and Switzerland and the last 3 are Venezuela, Libya , Yemen but it excludes Cuba, North Korea) or Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedoms: www.heritage.org (top 3 here are Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia and the last 3 are Cuba, Zimbabwe and North Korea.) 7. So please, don't do disservice to the Scandinavian countries by calling them "Socialist ...
