Not really. I actually admire socialism as an economic system, but powers-that-be in this country would never let it come to pass, and honestly human nature IS just too greedy (read: MINE MINE MINE!) to make it work. There will always be that desire and determination on someone's behalf to implement a ruling class (which is why modern Communism is not nearly as synonomous with socialism as classical Marxist communism).
I'm just here because I read some poorly presented arguments and felt compelled to challenge them.
