  • The Social Contract Is Not Socialism
    By: Skip Conover | - Conservative media personalities try to throw the word "socialism" or "socialist" into everything they say about politics. It's time to call them at their game, and show how they are using psychology to manipulate the American electorate.

    Words are symbols, which have deep meaning in our subconscious minds. For those in my generation and older, "socialism" means the old Soviet Union, the "evil empire" that dominated Russian life for over 70 years. That was a system that famously di ...

  • Exporting Problems: Lessons From Central Banks, Big Business And Governments
    By: JD Durham | - Some valuable lessons can be learned from how Central Banks, Big Business and Governments shift their problems to the people of the world that can little afford them. In the US, the banking system was doing all kinds of shady deals that literally placed the world financial system on the verge of collapse. They came to the US government for bailouts with promises that it would solve the problems and restore things, but what they failed to say was restore things for whom.

  • The History Of China - A Decade Ago And Now
    By: jhon | - If you were in the China of Deng Xiaoping in 1978 on your Chinese visa, you would have seen a nation bogged down with the ills of socialism, an erosion of the work ethic and anti-market propaganda. China responded with economic reforms such as the decentralization of agriculture, accepting foreign investment and permitting private entrepreneurship. You should have been in China now as winds of change were sweeping over it, on your China visa.

    In the 1980s and 90s, economic reforms i ...

  • Free Vegetable Seeds For Charity And Self-sufficiency
    By: Richard Weed | - Back in World War II, when America lived under a form of wartime socialism, people were expected to grow “victory gardens” in order to free up resources for the war effort. With rationing in place, many Americans grew much of their own food. Today, as food prices soar and bank accounts dwindle, self-sufficiency through gardening is making an emphatic comeback. Many people new to gardening are curious to learn where they can find free vegetable seeds.

    There are several we ...

  • Making A Case For Csr
    By: shashannk | - Corporate social responsibility and volunteerism have no boundaries and are not constrained by race, color, or religion. Sadly, concern for the community is often mistaken for socialism. On the contrary, capitalism thrives only when every citizen is an asset in economic activity and has opportunities to succeed. Corporate social responsibility is a culture and unwritten contract with the community. This invisible culture can shape brighter futures for nations. As a constructive partner in the co ...

  • Working Together For Recovery
    By: Richard D. Kilgore | - Jobs are one of the most important factors involved with the recovery from economic disaster. In history it is hard to find any country that has survived a total collapse of their economy without first rebuilding their job market. Socialism and/or communism have tried this for centuries. Most often jobs created in this arena are government owned; government controlled and guess who benefits the most, the government. To cap that off, countries under socialism or communism normally wind up rul ...

    By: Ethan Kalvin | - The questions about national health care having been nagging America for years. Some know that it is necessary no matter who has to pay for it and others believe that it is a slow roll to Socialism, which is something America has been fighting for years.

Eight of the photographs showed those interviewed standing or sitt ...

  • Why Do Private Money Investors Matter When Starting A Small Business?
    By: Vincent Irwin | - In those days when socialism was at its peak and socialist economies were all about the government taking control of everything, life was pretty difficult for people. Those with political connection could erect industries and for the others life was still difficult. With the change in air, economies became capitalist and there arose a wave of free trade and then globalization. The government had suddenly ceased to play a major part in the business and allowed people to take part in the country ...

  • Doing Business With Socialists
    By: Brian Jones | - The U.S. maintains an official trade embargo with Cuba, a relic of a time before the United States embraced socialism. Europe and Canada do not have this embargo, and they have been forced to re-learn the risks of doing business with socialists.

    Last year, the Cuban government blocked withdrawals from Cuban bank accounts owned by foreign firms, effectively defaulting on payments to exporters.

    It appears that the Cuban government did this because they ran out of cash ...

  • An Atlas Shrugged Moment For Venezuela
    By: Brian Jones | - In Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, the productive members of society are crowded out by bureaucrats and politicians until finally the national rail system becomes unsafe to travel upon due to a lack of skilled maintenance personnel. The politicos whine and scream for the system to be fixed, but they don't have the technical know-how to understand what needs to be done. More importantly, they don't have the respect for intelligence, hard work, and technology. They just assume that they can get whateve ...

  • All For Greece And Grief For All
    By: Eric Blair | - At first glance it seems ironic that Europe, long disdainful of American-style capitalism and haughtily proud of its womb-to-tomb smorgasbord of lavish government-managed goodies, should be tightening its various belts, while on this side of the big pond we continue to tinker with our economy to conjure up just the right mix of American-style socialism and the free market activity needed to support it.

    Meanwhile, our esteemed leader is lecturing the Europeans not to turn off the swa ...

    By: Tr Cojoc | - President Obama signed legislation to expand college access for millions of young Americans by revamping the federal student loan program in what he called "one of the most significant investments in higher education since the G.I. Bill."

    A word of caution is warranted here. The student loan program could easily become a vehicle for youth enslavement by the US Government.

Thousands of people died and millions were negatively affected, mostly due to the totalitarian communist control.

    By: Tr Cojoc | - Note how the communism did exactly the opposite of what The First Amendment was designed to do.

    The United States adopted the First Amendment of the Constitution on December 15, 1791.

    The Bolshevik revolution started the creation of Soviet Union, a country almost ten times the size of the United States and Canada combined, in 1917. That was 126 years after the First Amendment was added to the US Constitution.

    By: Tr Cojoc | - Communism collapsed when the new leaders and the population within became educated. Liberals in the US are trying hard to dumb down education, so that this country will slowly drift towards socialism.

    I grew up under communism and got most of my education there. I and my friends firmly believed at the time, that communism will collapse on itself from top down and it will happen when the newly educated communism leadership would loose confidence that a communist society could ever w ...

But, everyone concurs that the first winter at Plymouth was brutal, and deadly, with half of the colony losing their lives. It is not my intention to prove or disprove some of the stories told about that first Thanksgiving. Instead, I hope to share with you a story you may not be familiar with.

Indeed, if many of those in Congress and in high-profile government positions get their way. They understand that an abrupt turn that pushes this agenda onto the American public will not work. This is why they believe that through small dosages they can accomplish their goals.

    Yeah, he sure will change the world. He's already spent more money than any president in American history (as if our government spending wasn't high enough) on bailing out all the sorry excuses for corporations that can't manage their way out of grade school.

    He's also trying to limit what CEO's can make at the companies that accepted the bailout money, demanding the AIG bo ...

    By: Angêl | - People make the right decisions far more often than the government ever has, does, or will. I think that the best form of government is one that encourages, facilitate, and empower the individual citizen to make their own individual choices on how to live their lives. I feel that this translates to the government trying its best to get out of the way much more often than 'providing' anything. I think that maybe the government should abolish the tax code as it is completely; And, maybe instit ...

    The economic practice "Capitalism" was derived from a word called "mercantilism" originated in Rome, the Middle East, and early middle ages. Mercantilism simply means a distribution of goods in order to realize a pr ...

And when half of the people get the idea they don't have to work because the other half's going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody's going to ...

    By: Mac Eaton | - If one examines dialectic socialism, one is faced with a choice: either accept postsemanticist discourse or conclude that the significance of the poet is social comment. Thus, several theories concerning nihilism exist. The premise of dialectic socialism holds that language is dead, but only if Bataille's model of nihilism is valid; if that is not the case, we can assume that the collective is capable of significance.
    In a sense, Lyotard promotes the use of capitalist capitalism to ...

    By: Nathan Moore | - The Left's uproar over the financial mess is fairly typical. It's the end of libertarianism, American inequality is the problem, and only the super-socialist Barack Obama can fix this mess.

    Well, libertarianism isn't dead. It never really lived. As long as Peter can vote to take money from Paul, there will never be a libertarian economy. The most I can hope for is a mostly free-market. What the left-leaning fail to acknowledge (or understand, I am not sure which), is that the fina ...

Not content with their past failed Nazi-alliance; their Nazified Baathism; or their dalliance with totalitarian Communism; the peaceful, educated and exalted Arabs are declaiming admiration for a deranged psychopath. In their lust for Jew eradication and Islamic supremacy the Arab masses are being 're-educated' to remember the greatness of der Fuehrer.

Even if one is dubious of Islam's claim that its women really do like looking like unmade gliding beds, there are societal and cultural reaons why the Hijab should be banned. In short banning the Burqa, the Hijab and the Niqab would ban Islam's direct and anti-social assualt on Western values.

Especially poignant has been government's reordering of economic, moral and spatial values in the left vs. right terminology. Government reform of its economic philosophy to become more liberal and egalitarian has also instigated a redefinition of socialism's attitude towards its own populist configuration.
