They are nothing alike. Socialism is working for the good of the community
because if you don't you go to jail and most likely die.

I still do not see your point and am more sure now than I was before that you
have no clue.

No you are not the programmer in the statement. Don't assume things, it makes
you look ignorant.

How was my letter offense? I didn't put anyone down in any way what-so-ever. I'm
sorry your so insecure that you couldn't see past that. I happen to be a
commercial programmer.

I think it is you who needs to put more thought into his statements. Not only
are you talking about a political system you apparently have no understanding
of, but you are making judgments and drawing conclusions on a person you have
neither met nor spoken with.

Excuse me sir, but I suggest you take a political science class, as well as a
good class in manners.

This is the last I'll be saying to you.
