F...The meaning of words is so often just etymology. For instance, a "radical" is someone who wants to get to the "root" of a matter--to see and explain what it's truly about. <br /><br />In its simplest form, "socialist" refers to a person who thinks that social matters--things that concern the health and welfare of people--are of primary concern. It's just that simple. A capitalist is, simply put, someone who prioritizes "capital"--or money. And the USA is a country that prioritizes money, property, and power over social welfare--i.e., over people, animals, the environment. You know, living things. That's a big reason why we're in the mess we're in, facing extinction and with so many people mistrusting others. Look at socialist countries and you generally find a greater social contract--an agreement, both official and unspoken, to prioritize life and existence over possessions and power.Don Quixotenoreply@blogger.com
