“‘We are socialists. We are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system, the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being, according to wealth and to property instead of responsibility and performance. And we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.’ I will tell you who said the above quote later, but it is a pretty good summary of what a socialist believes. Socialism, technically, is the government’s ownership of all the means of economic production, but there are varying degrees of that. It is rare in history that a government has ever owned every single business, restaurant, manufacturing plant, etc. Still, there have been those societies where such has been the aim and practiced to a great degree.” [editor’s note: Extra credit if you can identify the quote without using Google – SAT] (09/21/24)
