I grew up in a socialist country. And I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom. No pride in achievement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
America has to stand up and decide if we want to be a socialist nation or if we're going to be a free nation.
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves, as far as is possible in the society of today, that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.
Capitalism offers you freedom, but far from giving people freedom, it enslaves them.
It is freedom that makes this the greatest country in the world. And it is freedom that so frequently keeps me on the optimistic side of life.
What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
My hope for this country is that we remain a people who value freedom, who have the courage to face the realities with faithful hearts instead of anxious ones.
There is no freedom without groceries. There are no groceries without freedom. What people call 'capitalism' and 'socialism' are actually one and inseparable. It's a virtuous circle.
But Socialism, alone, can bring self-determination of their peoples.
For me, socialism has always been about liberty and solidarity, but also about responsibility.
