All this left,right and center stuff is just a distraction for the masses.We no longer have a Conservative Party in Canada -just a hybrid that shuts its members mouths tight so nobody knows what any individual member believes.

Old style Tories were sometimes called 'red Tories".Tea Party and others, would have mistaken them for Stalinists,commies,pinkos etc.
I think the truth is there are no more "pure" capitalists,socialists or right wingers.We are now capitalistic democratic socialists,socialist capitalist democrats etc etc.Use any combo in any order.
Most of the world sensibly have gone to what works in nature-hybrids.Mother Nature has lots of "failed"experiments" but keeps coming up with new winners,why not us?
America has socialized medical care -finally-like most of the world -and communist China is certainly not against free markets.Like Michelle Bachman said "Hu's your daddy".
America's interest on the loans -pays for all of China's army.Who's winning ?
Google chicken tax and tell me that $5000 added to our vehicles prices is anything but anti-capitalism-protectionism.
Right wing Germany has more social programs than most of the world.I think you can count the top 5/6 countries as mostly socialist.
It's only labels and it makes sense to me that the best of all our failed ideas be implemented if we are going to succeed in our new"global village".

Any system will work with properly educated citizens.

You've used the term "global village", I narrowly avoided hurling on my keyboard.
I didn't think it necessary to thumb you down, this time.

If they pitched in and bought 1 share in thousands of companies they would have actually occupied wall street and have a say in wall street.

Fail beyond belief.

The sad part is they think they will be in control.

As if OWS would actually see one cent of what they were screaming about to be seized.
Guarantee you I'd see a good bit of it.

But how can you criticize communism when we remember to this day the shining, free, egalitarian, and crime-free paradises like the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, North Korea, and Nicaragua? And what about East Germany, where life was so wonderful they had to build a wall to keep the poor, oppressed West Germans from flooding in?
