"Democratic Socialism".. Mark Alexander from Patriot Post...
Anybody got anything on this guy?

Sure, I know he's a RW asshole, but anything specific?

A friend - usually apolitical - sent me "Democratic Socialism"

Here's a pic on the page...



"Democratic Socialism, like Nationalist Socialism, is nothing more than Marxist Socialism repackaged. Likewise, it seeks a centrally planned economy directed by a single-party state that controls economic production by way of regulation and income redistribution."

I don't care much anymore.. certainly not enough to waste my time making an answer, but if any of you have dealt with this asshole and his shit, lay it on me, will you?

1. Look up "Social Democracy" for a contrast
Democratic Socialism is further to the Left than you may think.

The terminology is abstruse, but just remember that having the word "socialism" in it doesn't make it the same as other ideologies with the same word. For instance, "National Socialists" (the Nazis) were only redistributive in the sense that they defined people who were weak and different as a threat to the nation, and took FROM them so that people defined as "strong" and "normal" could stay strong. (You could say its socialism turned upside down.)
