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.
