Anytime I see the words "totalitarian", "Dictatorship" or such associated with the Socialism, I almost twist myself into a knot trying to perceive how any of those idiots could ever have confused & conflated & abused & raped the noble virtues of Socialism. It is an affront to humanity to do so. The biggest trouble with Socialism is how easy it is for terrible (read Fascists) people to get in charge.
Sometimes I think of the political spectrum as being on a wheel with Stalin at 181 degrees and Hitler at 179. That does NOT mean I like Noon (Zero degrees). I'm always trying to sleep through Noon, in it's Darkness, so as to avoid the child's balloon and those other things.
Possible lists of various dudes & dudettes:
Nero - 180
Nixon - part 140, part Noon.
Reagan - 170
Tito (anyone remember him? Frako would) - 220
Pol Pot - 180
Nancy Reagan - 100
Carter - Noon
Bush the 1st - 150
Bush the 2nd - 170
Bill Clinton - 60
Hillary Clinton - 20
Barack Obama - 20
Rush Limbaugh - 175
Nancy Pelosi - 350
Ed Kennedy - 340, but part Noon
FDR - 300
Dawn Bertot - 180
Eugene Debs - 250
Pete Seeger - 270 all the way, god bless him
Bob Dylan - 90! surprise!!!
Kucinich - 310
Sanders - 309
Ron Paul - 175, despite what he says
Sarah Palin - 160
me - probably around 300, to the left of Sanders but at least 30 degrees above where Freedom is beginning to be adversely impacted (below the horizontal line).
But even a wheel is a bad view. Perhaps it should be more of the surface of an oblate sphere.
Ludwik concludes:
I am also a socialist by I am not going to vote for SPUSA; the emblem of that party is "proletarians of the world unite." I do not wish anyone to experience proletarian dictatorship.
Based on your report I would concur.
