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.

Socialism is a general term for a system of collective or government ownership and management of the means of production and distribution of goods. Because of the collective nature of socialism, it is different from the doctrine of the sanctity of private property that characterizes capitalism. Where capitalism stresses competition and profit, socialism calls for cooperation and social service.

Welcome to the world of political philosophy vs political propoganda.  Okay a couple of things socialism means that the government has more control over business.  MAking sure there is money for healthcare, welfare, education, etc.  There are many socailistic countries in Europe that are democratic and doing fine.  Communism is further left.  Communism is an economic model and not a political one.  You could have a democratic communism.  What has happenned is a lot of solcialistic dictatorships.  There is yet to be a true communist country.  Unfortunately human greed always ruins communism as it will do with capitalism (according to marx) and there is examples of it starting to happen now (outsourcing jobs for penny wages).  Captilism will expand until it cannot expand any further and then collapse upon itself (basically once the rich have starved the poor whats left?).  It is a very confusing issue.   Anarchy is a political model and I would say is the opposite of socialism...which is no governemnt at all.  However I have been an anarchist for awhile, not because of punk, but because I have no faith in the politcal process today.  Too much business influence and lobbyists to really help most individuals.  But the pistols do rock.

Looking down your list I really think you have lumped in far left and far right together.  Marxism is far left only.  No leader on that list instated any degree of marxist socialism, but instead devolved quickly into some sort of socialist dictatorship ("some pigs are more equal than others") or corporate/fascist regime.\n\nFor real examples of Marxist philosophy working nearly correctly, check out many American religious eclaves like the Amanas or the Israeli Kibbutz system.  I've lived in one, it's quite boring really but in a way it is very free.  Basically you have to figure out what to do with all your free time when every need is taken care of and you only work 4 hours a day.

not nearly as many as they used to. I think last time I read they had like over 100,000, maybe more. They don't bring in the ranks anymore because the Socialist Party USA has taken a lot of their potential members...
