Capitalism in its purest form is a slave system where the corporate owners pretty much own the "wage slaves". Socialism in its purest form is a slave system where the government owns the workers. That's why I think the ideal is somewhere in between, where the competing forces of government, business, unions to represent the workers, etc are competing against each other for power. That competition is good overall, and provides the checks and balances needed to keep things fair.
In theory, we're close to having this type of economic system in the United States, but it's still slanted heavily in the direction of capitalism over socialism. That's why I support "liberal" changes such as raising the minimum wage to a living wage, better protections for workers and consumers, etc that limit the power of corporations. But if we ever move too far in the direction of true socialism, then we'll need to balance it back the other way. I don't see that happening any time soon, though.
Do you wish we would have crossed the DMZ and turned Vietnam into a Democratic Country?
We never should have gotten involved in that war to begin with. Just because I think our system of government is a good one (not perfect, but good), that doesn't mean we should be imposing it on other countries. I'm a "lead by example" kind of guy, not a "lead by force" type.
That's MISTER Godless Vegetarian Tree Hugging Hippie Liberal to you.

I don't really know how North Vietnam does things, and whether it was right to help South Vietnam, but I'm pretty sure at least helping South Korea was the right thing to do. North Korea is pretty much the worst country in the world.

Communism has failed in every country it's been tried. The only big exception is China, but they tend to have a more government-controlled capitalism than pure communism.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

So you mean dictatorial governments that called themselves communist?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Socialist dictatorships don't like to be referred to as socialist dictatorships, for some reason. It's like when you have a government run by a vicious, sadistic, murderous bastard and you call it "Christianity."

People that want communism / socialism tend to be lazy fucks that want to eat the fruits of someone else's labor.
