that's besides the point... we live in a nation that is supposed to be capitalistic without government involvment, but the gov involvment has grown dramatically recently.... when does a country become socialist?? when the government gets involved.. simpleOriginally Posted by BgMc31

who builds roads? where do you go to get a drivers license? what is social security? by your definition, any non-anarchic economy is socialist.

let me clarify, when gov gets involved in the economy, you have a socialist nation...
road and such are always things done by the gov, whether socialist or not..
that's an ambiguous statement...
better yet, i consider it a red hairing, associative fallacy...
people can rationalize alot..
im a philosophy major, this is what we do all day, discuss shit like this..
there has to be some form of socialism in our government.. you can call us the "capitalistic-socialist" nation... like we were bi and confused about it..

thats funny you suggest my statement is ambiguous when in fact your is the ambiguous one. also, you spelled herring terribly wrong...
what you are trying to say: when the government takes ownership of publicly/privately owned companies, that is socialism. was that so hard?
