What about the socialist/marxist creaters and doers? For example, a lot of good art and music certainly came out of mother Russia. yes, the propoganda art and the roaring anthems praising the STATE, those were great... and don't forget the starvation and slaughter by the socialist/marxist "creaters and doers"

One could even argue that the "slacker" mentality in the US is a byproduct of the wealth from a free market society. Does that mean it's rooted in socialism? Seems a bit contradictory to me. One could argue that the slacker mentality is a byproduct of decades of increasing government handouts which have destroyed the family unit and created huge swaths of dependent individuals that know only that they need government programs to continue their existence......this would be rooted in socialism....


I expect my influence on history to be somewhat contained, although I am working hard to prove otherwise. ummmmm...if you plan on influencing "history"...you might consider expanding you "influence" beyond the political section of a fishing website and away from Detbuch because he continually beeeotch slaps you



I'm a centrist...
