    Well i can tell ya (not that i have to) what the pro-capitalists would say to all that — they’d say “look at North Korea…Communism fails everywhere…America isn’t perfect but its the best there is…our poor people are better off than other nations poor people…”

    I’d be interested, btw, in knowing just how many Americans would be comfortable with the label ‘socialist’ or ‘libertarian-socialist’ or commie. I wonder what the numbers are?

    One in five Americans think socialism is superior to capitalism. Thats a bit more than i expected.

    Majority of Americans positive on capitalism, entrepreneurs, free enterprise, and small business

    PRINCETON, NJ — More than one-third of Americans (36%) have a positive image of “socialism,” while 58% have a negative image. Views differ by party and ideology, with a majority of Democrats and liberals saying they have a positive view of socialism, compared to a minority of Republicans and conservatives….
    Americans are almost uniformly positive in their reactions to three terms: small business, free enterprise, and entrepreneurs. They are divided on big business and the federal government, with roughly as many Americans saying their view is positive as say it is negative. Americans are more positive than negative on capitalism (61% versus 33%) and more negative than positive on socialism (36% to 58%).

    I bet it’s more than would be comfortable with “Mau-Mau Revolutionary.”
