Socialism is a cancer. With that said it is alive and well in the United States.

Socialism discourages REAL charity and giving. Socialism enslaves the productive citizenry and makes them subject to the recipient class while simultaneously propping up the statist politicians who take every advantage for themselves while expempting themselves from the very programs they endorse. Why do you think the politicians aren't taking part in our precious Affordable Health Care Act along with the commoners and unions and big corporations are seeking exemptions or waivers and for the most art getting them? Because they all know it will suck and they are much too important to have to wait for rationed care. Socialism doesn't so much take care of those that are in need as much as it breeds dependancy and creates division amonst the populous.

Socialism is for the people not the socialist. All hail the recipient!

So, Socialism may be alive and well but I personally would love to see it die a quick death so we could get on with real progress.

When people discuss socialism versus capitalism they usually use ideal as example for the first and the worst real life examples for the second, never the opposite, so you know why they keep getting bigger (human beings preffer to blame others for their short comings).

You are very much correct. I personally like to look at both from a real world view. In the United States we have so much available food because of Capitalism and the advent of the low profit margin Supermarket that we now measure hunger with terms like 'food insecurity' and 'food deserts' etc. In other countries they where real hunger is present they still measure starvation as an example.

My point is that most people would prefer to be poor in the United States over any other place on Earth.

To be poor in a capitalist country > poor or even middle class in any other country.

In Brazil we have a program called "Fome Zero" (Zero Hunger)... and If we compare the poor in rich country to middle class in poor country it's obvious which is better... and there is studies about how much better a poor people have it today than rich people along the eras...

And in Cuba they make line to buy toilet paper, and in Russia you had to wait several years to buy a car.
