yep..I gave a lesson
on Karl before. Most people do not know history. (Not you Angela..talking about
some of the people on my debate loop..LOL)
I shudder anytime I
hear someone use the term 'McCarthyism'. Most have no clue what they are even
saying.

Both stem from the same roots though...the
ramblings of a paranoid lunatic Karl Marx.

Socialism and Communism are two totally different things, but I would
say they are equally bad.
Yep. And I have to
argue these points with people on other groups. They have this sweet idea of
socialization from listening to Hanoi Jane and Babs too often. I can't count
how many times I have heard about what socialized medicine could do to help
the US. Blah...blah...
I also was told
that socialism is not the same thing as communism and is much better.
LOL...Uh yeah ok people.
I gave socialism
as one of my reasons for not wanting Hitlery to ever become president. She
has socialistic views on many areas. I prefer to keep the US as a republic
just as it is.

England is a constitutional monarchy
and is definitely a socialist country. Same for Australia.
Just because they are republics or democratic in nature doesn't preclude
them from being socialist.
Even the USSR had a constitutional
democracy.

Denmark: Type of Government: The Kingdom of Denmark is today a constitutional
monarchy. The symbolic chief of state is the queen or king. The only real
power in that position lies in the ability to appoint the prime minister
(who is the head of the government) and the cabinet ministers. These
officials represent the true power in government. There is one legislative
body, the 179-seat Folketing.
Norway: TYPE OF GOVERNMENT: Norway is a constitutional
monarchy. The chief of state in Norway is King Harald V, who has been
reigning since January 1991. The head of government is Prime Minister Jens
Stoltenberg, who has been in power since March 2000. Following
parliamentary elections, the leader of the majority party or leader of the
party coalition is usually appointed Prime Minister by the monarchy with
the approval of the Parliament. There is both a judicial and legislative
branch in Norway. The legislative branch is only one house, however it
does divide itself into two chambers at times and all members are elected.
Sweden: Sweden: Government: Government type

Finland: Finland: Government: Government type
