Didn't think you meant me, LOL. I know it might not seem like it very
often, but I actually do know quite a bit about history and such, I just don't
argue it very often b/c I do admit there are things I don't know, so I don't
like to get to a point discussing something I don't know.
yep..I gave a
lesson on Karl before. Most people do not know history. (Not you
Angela..talking about some of the people on my debate
loop..LOL)
I shudder anytime
I hear someone use the term 'McCarthyism'. Most have no clue what they are
even saying.

Both stem from the same roots
though...the ramblings of a paranoid lunatic Karl
Marx.

Socialism and Communism are two totally different things, but I
would say they are equally bad.
Yep. And I
have to argue these points with people on other groups. They have this
sweet idea of socialization from listening to Hanoi Jane and Babs too
often. I can't count how many times I have heard about what socialized
medicine could do to help the US. Blah...blah...
I also was
told that socialism is not the same thing as communism and is much
better. LOL...Uh yeah ok people.
I gave
socialism as one of my reasons for not wanting Hitlery to ever become
president. She has socialistic views on many areas. I prefer to keep the
US as a republic just as it is.

England is a constitutional
monarchy and is definitely a socialist country. Same for
Australia. Just because they are republics or democratic in
nature doesn't preclude them from being socialist.
Even the USSR had a constitutional
democracy.

Denmark: Type of Government: The Kingdom of Denmark is today a
constitutional monarchy. The symbolic chief of state is the queen or
king. The only real power in that position lies in the ability to
appoint the prime minister (who is the head of the government) and the
cabinet ministers. These officials represent the true power in
government. There is one legislative body, the 179-seat
Folketing.
Norway: TYPE OF GOVERNMENT: Norway is a constitutional
monarchy. The chief of state in Norway is King Harald V, who has been
reigning since January 1991. The head of government is Prime Minister
Jens Stoltenberg, who has been in power since March 2000. Following
parliamentary elections, the leader of the majority party or leader of
the party coalition is usually appointed Prime Minister by the
monarchy with the approval of the Parliament. There is both a judicial
and legislative branch in Norway. The legislative branch is only one
house, however it does divide itself into two chambers at times and
all members are elected.
Sweden: Sweden: Government: Government type

Finland: Finland: Government: Government type
