It's absolutely amazing to see how abysmally uneducated 90% of the people who try to debate politics are. This is not at all a partisan post, but since the topic of Socialism is at hand, I must say as a general message:
1. Stop confusing Socialism with Communism. They are NOT the same thing.
2. Stop branding anything you don't like as <insert a party name or epithet for that party here>, and really take the time to understand those who you think are your political opponents as much as those that you think you support. You might be surprised at the results.
I love healthy debate, but come on people.
