I know this was an old debate, there was an old topic asking this, and it got lost. I was sad to see it dissapear as i find watching poeple debate the topic quite interesting.

So this topic is say whether you support Capitilism or Socialism, this does not have to mean pure capitalism or socialism, it could simply mean what side do you lean towards.

I myself will keep out of it for the moment and hope that this topic actually stays alive.

Its too hard to even approach this conversation when everyone's definition of socialism has been eroded by over a century of anti-communist propaganda and hysteria.
