Socialized Medicine

We can't afford it.  Some people like Michael Moore say that we should just divert funding for the war toward Socialized Medicine, but the fact of the matter is is that we can't afford the war either.  We are already borrowing money to finance a lot of the dumb programs already in place.  Government spending is out of control, and we need to exercise budget restraint now, not consider new areas to increase spending.

socialism = public ownership of some things...  that's why america has a "socialized" postal service and "socialized" police and fire departments.  Fire departments used to be private enterprized, eh?  You'd have the logo for the department on your own that you subscribed to, and if it was there and you weren't late on your payments, they would put it out.  If you didn't or you weren't, they would let it burn down.  AWESOME eh?

Stalinism: single party control of freakin' everything.  Stalin engineered famines and had his political revivals killed, he didn't try to sit down and figure out how to make things work.

And that's what socialism really is...  sitting down with everything you know and have access to and trying to figure out how to make a nation, as a system, function towards certain goals.  You want everyone to be able to see a doctor if they're sick?  You find money for it and you do it.  You want to build a massive highway system that will make it so people can drive around and move things?  You figure it out and find the money somewhere.  Notice how GM and Ford don't pay for the upkeep of the highways, your tax dollars do?  You're already driving on socialized roads, dummie.

If stalinism = socialism then capital = fascism and anarchy = care bear count down five four Three Two ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Clearly, what you said is nonsense
