Socialism? We've had way too much of it already.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Socialism must come down from the brain and reach the heart.
I always thought that socialism here would be peculiarly American, with some reasonable, post-industrial evolution between working-class needs and market forces. It won't be bloody like the Russian Revolution.
If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
If you want government to take everything, if you want government to take more and more over with the banks, more of the industries, all of a sudden you're going to have a government auto czar, right there, right down the line, that's socialism.
Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.
In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists.
More socialism means more democracy, openness and collectivism in everyday life.
Socialism is nothing more nor less than the social, political and ideological system which breaks the fetters upon economic growth created under capitalism and opens the way to a new period of economic and social expansion on a much larger scale.
