That's what it says on my voter registration card.
I think before people bash socialism and liken it to communism, I would like to ask if anyone here has lived in a more socialist country like New
Zealand or Canada? Because if you haven't then you would not realize that they are great places to live. What you are fed by your parents and friends
that helped you form your own opinions is probably lies, disinformation and propaganda that your government spoon-fed you and your companions
pre-1989.
Socialism is not communism, which is a corrupted version of socialism that became that way through dictatorial control. Both capitalism and socialism
have their pro's and con's. The fact that I'm extremely pro-capitalist does not mean I can't recognize the benefits of socialism. It would be
ignorant of me. I suggest you become educated in these systems before you start poking fun at them, it degrades you.
