How many of you are socialist? Just wondering.

The bottom half. Especially the bottom third!

Inconsider myself being a Marxist

I'm a social butterfly, does that count?

Sometimes I'm socialist, and sometimes I'm anti-socialist.

I try to avoid all ‘ism’’s.

Not me, I can never keep within the lines of any dogma.

Can you be more specific? I do not believe people are unanimous in their ideas of what 'socialist' is.

I do not support a disallowing of private property. I would support a system with MORE 'collective' or 'community' ownership, however.

I am not a socialist. I was only asking because I wanted to get an idea of my community. I am what you would call a monarchist, a Libertine, a classical liberal. I shun authority and all they claim to "offer".

Ooops, minarchist... sheeesh… drinking is bad mmmmK? spell check, not me. People don't even know what a minarchist is, even the F-in-computer... I have to update myself.

I do. I write a lot about it in my poetry.

Ladywind.. That's my girl. you're the only one who get's me. Luv ya.

Mwah xx

Have you guys ever looking into basic things like malls and their effects on pushing products? it's a science... look up "atmospherics" and the "gruen effect". If you really think that the majority of this country actually decides what they want then you are just mistaken. We are primarily just zombies being guided by ENORMOUS corporations who spend millions on studies on how to manipulate the consumer.

Wonderful. So on topic

Hoxhaist here

Anarchist, with antisocial tendencies.

Guess that makes me an antisocialist.

I'm a Marxist. Every Marxist is a socialist but not all socialists are Marxists.

Socialism is on halfway to left side of political spectrum. Marxism is on extreme left side of political spectrum.

Much of the population believes that Bernie sanders is a socialist. When he is clearly a capitalist who wants to adopt social policies that can benefit the masses. He is a social democrat. Social democrats favour mixed economy system. They are in for allowing private property but they also allow free healthcare, free education and free housing which wasn't what capitalist economy favoured since the things does not generate profit.

By definition around the world, socialism is a stage of social development in which private property is abolished so that workers would not be exploited and all means of production are to be collectively owned by the community. Main goal of socialism was set to set a stage to obtain communism, eventually transforming the society from capitalism to socialism and then to communism. Socialism was coined by Friedrich Engels in his thesis with karl Marx.

Socialist countries were people's republic of China, polish people's republic, german democratic republic, People's republic of Romania, USSR(Union of soviet Socialist republics) etc.

I doubt there are much socialists in United States. But there are some social democrats. My take is, Bernie sanders probably will not win. The oligarchs will not let him win. He has made it clear that once he gets to power he will crush their monopoly over healthcare and education by subsidising these facilities. This is a characteristic of a socialist.

Taken into account the number of leftists here
