Red State vs Blue State -- drawing battlelines?

No that is communism, in communism the idea is everything belongs to everyone and everyone takes an equal share. Hence profit is discouraged, and the country has control of almost all production or at least the larger factories and such.While socialism is the idea that we dont leave our fellow humans behind, so it provides safety nets, free healthcare food stamps, social security .... stuff like that. Socialism does not care how the country is run, or how resources are devided, only that the poorest countrymen still have a decent standard of living.

Yea but there are plenty of countries considered socialist and they dont have any large stakes in its economies businesses. I think you will find that the whole country run production is an exception rather then the rule. The main thing about socialism in practice is drawing a line on the minimual standard of living. I might be a conspiracy theorist but i think the CIA tried to equate socialism to communism because of marks.but i get why its a shade of red though more on the pinkish side Thing is i dont get it these massive cooperation's buy your goverment officials, laugh at your regulations, poison your watter and air. And when someone says guys your doing a lot of damage get huge profits you should pay a larger share, we will use it to heal the people corporation's poison, to feed the people cooperation's pay to little to live on, and to educate them so they dont have to get screwed by cooperation's as much. A bunch of people who would benefit the most from this, and usually dont have to dimes to rub together come out screaming fucking commies leave our poor rich people alone they trickle down on us
