If you support the free market in any way, shape or form how would you describe yourself as a socialist?

Because he’s one of those, ‘we can do it better’, arrogant variety bourgeois Socialists. Yeah, he doesn’t know what it really means, just that it’s ‘cool’.

“If you support the free market in any way, shape or form how would you describe yourself as a socialist?”

There is a conflict when comparing socialism to capitalism. One is trying to compare a political system to an economic system. That is an ‘apple-and-oranges’ argument. There are many rich socialists.....Soros, et al, and they apparently have no problem existing in a capitalist system.

There is a direct comparison only when trying to compare a socialist political system to a Republican Democracy. That is where the socialists always lose the argument.

He seems to be confused about what he likes and dislikes but underneath it all he seems to be a totalitarian statist. ;-)
