Attempts to extend and expand communism to societies on a large scale have led only to disaster and death.

Democratic socialism is possible on a large scale but it general produces mediocre results in industry and science.

I don't know that Joseph Stalin was all that intrested in actually extending and expanding communism to societies at large, the dude was about as much of a communist as Hitler. Also though Democratic Socialism has some similarities to communism its hardly a substitute for actual communism. I don't know that communism could work on a large scale but that does not make false communism any closer to real communism.

But don't most - if not all - developed countries practice a blend of capitalism and socialism (including us)?

There were no Tigers at the beginning of the war.

I am so flummoxed by this I have to keep reediting my post. One sec...


It got worse when we started going to NFL games. We fought over who was the better team. Me and my friends like the Chicago bears so we would fight those that like the Green Bay Packers it got really bad.

Didn't you say you lived in North Carolina? I kind of lurked before I got here. North Carolina is in a different time zone from Chicago and Green Bay. I think you would have to be at the stadium to support your team. North Carolina has the Carolina Panthers, so why don't you support them, exactly?
