Generally speaking, socialism doesn't fit very well with human nature.  There are too many freeloaders - people who will not do their fair share of the work and the other people end up taking care of them.\n\nOnce people get used to the idea that someone else is going to help them (even if they don't need the help), they begin to depend upon it.  And then they want more - more government services, more vacation, more money for less work, more, more, more.\n\nFinally, there isn't enough to go around and the government is forced to deliver the bad news to the people.  The news is that despite decades of promises the government is now going to have to cut back on what it provides.\n\nFor the people, this is shocking, just shocking.  They've spent decades listening to politicians tell them about all the goodies they will receive in the future and, against all reality, they accept the promises and go on as if the government can magically make the impossible happen.\n\nThus, we see the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of draconian economic control of the economy by the government in China, the Indian government finally beginning to shake off decades of torpor in its economy, the Europeans continually trying to find ways to prevent the inevitable change that is certain to occur, etc.

A social "safety net" , such as welfare, is not socialism. Socialism is the ownership of all assets and wealth by the state.  welfare is more appropriatly described as a redistribution of wealth. The source of the wealth is taxation of other individuals, the state is only a middle man, not the source of the wealth.

No, just look at us here in America.  Though suffering a decode of defeats the Democratic party still have a huge number of followers, all waiting for the chance to vote themselves a welfare check.\n\nLook at the poor souls in New Orleans they sat there waiting for the Government to help them before even considering helping themselves.\n\nIt is a truely pathetic side of the human race, but Socialism in every method it has ever been tried has failed, because it rewards laziness and punishes success.  Relying on the government is a one way ticket to despair.

Every sector of the society must be represented in the government.  Politicians must not only address the problems of the rich and the middle class.

A nation within a nation is a bad makeshift in the world.  It will encourage divisiveness that could destroy a country.

The biggest problem facing our world is liberal politics, which is the basis of socialism/communism, France is representative of this insanity. The next is the ignorance of history, the hatred of truth, the rejection of morality and the destruction of the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman.

a) When economic conditions are bad in the nation.\nb) When there is an external threat to the nation.\nc) When they can find a scapegoat of some type to give the populace something/someone to blame in order to "unify" the country.

Socialists are all about control. Charity is bad in their eyes b/c it isn't pre-set and socialists can't control it. In their mind they are delivering equal 'justice' to all ppl, but conveniently taking money from others and giving it to the poor with THEIR OWN NAMES ON IT.

It's funny that you ask that, because lately I have noticed that Democrats seem more like Communists or Socialists than they did 50 years ago and they keep going farther that way. The problem is that, though founded on some utopian principles that seem appealing, it is not sustainable for any society.\n"you will not have to worry about food, clothing, housing, it will all be supplied by the government." Yeah, cause no one in USSR or China or Cuba had/has to worry about food, clothing or housing.\nNo, Democracy is the way to go. Vote Republican! :)

Because we value freedom and capitalism more than any other country in the world.\n\nHaving even one nationalized radio or television station is kind of a slippery slope.  Just look at Russia, where they started to nationalize their radio and tv and just kept on going.  Kind of a big brother thing too- we don't really want a direct line from the government into our homes through the TV.

Hmmm... why don't we dissolve all governmental systems until every thing is perfect?... Seriously... just because something isn't without problems and flaws, that is no reason to trash it. Human kind will never be perfect. The only thing we can do is to constantly improve on what we have. Set the standards high and try to meet them. Don't lower them because not everyone can reach the mark.

Socialism is causing massive death, poverty, AIDS and slavery in the third world.  Because they have chosen to embrace marxist values, they are doomed.  This process is well underway, especially in africa and haiti.

Technology.  Just look at Russia to see why socialism is a horrific idea.  A generation living under the government of the USSR has created an entire country of people with entitlement minds.  Since coming out from that government, they have no work ethic, and that is why you see all the dilapidated buildings that there are in Russia.

You need to understand the difference between socialism and communism. There are several socialist and quasi-socialist countries that are highly successful in the world today (market socialism).

I am talking in a economical sense. Politcally I do not how to answer your question. True communism requires equally distribution of capital. Socialism does not. Both have high levels of government ownership of industry.

france has strife because they're econ. system is socialist, and dependant on entitlements. we have a capitalist system. you can be what you want to here. you can't do it so easily over there. if we ever became like them, yes, thier would be riots in the streets. the dems have been becoming more socialist minded every day. they want to be the robin hoods, so you have to pay for someone elses hardship. wwrong idea=the dems ar the robbin' hoods of all of us! the dems try to go beyond the contitution. the only 2 things the govn't is OBLIGATED to do for us is, 1-protect our cinstitutional rights =and= 2-protect us from enemies foriegn or domestic. thats it. the dems believe the govn't money should give u free house car health care ect,,.. thats the prob.!!

Ok my theory on this is two things:\n1. Lack of education on the true meaning of both.\n2. A purpose-full intent to redefine communism as socialism because a lot of liberals are called socialist.
