The Literal Poison of Democratic Socialism

- Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell

To lump Soviet, Venezuelan, Brazilian and American "socialism" into a single group is perhaps a little to broad. They are quite different in their origins and in their practices. Socialism was a social movement in response to feudalism, monarchy, theocracy and a number of other very complex and different social structures. Capitalism is an economic system. Socialism is not.

Conversely, Mexican immunity is the result of capitalism without socialism.

Democratic socialism is thus one means of using social pressure to restrain naturally occurring excesses in the economic system.
