I have to admit that socialism is not a system that would work in America, but to completely espouse the current form of capitalism and not try to correct it , is just as dangerous to America and the world. The current form of capitalism in America and the world is moving towards a Corporatocracy. Where it is corporations rather than elected governments, that hold the power over our day to day lives. This is just as dangerous as socialism in my opinion.
To ignore the power of the financial institutions and corporations that have more power over national governments than ever before is being willfully blind. You don't go with corporatism just because you hate socialism. That makes no sense, you try and improve what we have so it works for more people not less.

You should find the content I posted appalling.
Dont blame me, Im just the messenger.
We HAVE a Communist/ Socialist Party here in America and even they don't agree with you.
Revisionist history, alot of it. Blacks were undocumented much like illegals today. Doesn't mean they were all slaves, but define the word. Hell my family dates back before the revolutionary war and fought in it, later on my fathers side, they had a couple 'slaves' (they lived in the south) , but as far as I know they didn't whip them torture or beat them, they worked on a plantation and were fed and clothed and cared for and respected.
The rothschilds funded the communist manifesto and the bolshevik lennin and trotsky. They are marxists/socialists/communists, not capitalists.
Rockefeller is not of any different ideology and their family history is not that much different.
Historically though. Those in favor of slavery have always been primarily democrats. Neither was the KKK any different. Like I said, there is a lot of that time period which is not cut and paste and really easy to understand, revisionist history.
Point is, nowhere in the Constitution does it provide for that, but in those days there was a lot of infighting.
Also I dont care for Bush,
I think America was on the wrong path long before he came along.
