Again, different dictionary. You are thinking about the dictionary of Standard Written English. Right wingers have their own dictionary and make up their own definitions.

Further more NO ONE is advocating Socialism for this country.

It jus' ain't happening!

You need to get caught up on current events, namely the elections that are happening right now.
There is a guy named Bernie Sanders who is publicly running for president who is a lifelong socialist.
I don't know how you could have missed this.

Missed it? What you might not be considering is that Sanders is so popular BECAUSE he is a lifelong socialist.

It depends on which political spectrum you subscribe to, but this video has some interesting facts and suggests That all "isms" that support moves toward total government are left wing...and those who believe in NO government are right wing.

I'm sorry, but you're determined to be wrong. Don't be fooled because of the sword Socialist in NAZI. You Got It Wrong.

The Nazis were indeed an extreme right-wing organization. They hated Russia because it was socialistic or communistic in name (although a dictatorship in reality).

Nature is extreme chaos. Man seeks to impose order upon it, in more than one way. There may be an exaggeration of lefties which leads to total society-over-society control. There is also an extreme exaggeration of the right which is a tyrant, that is dictator-over-society control. We see it every day in every way.

(Interesting that communism, total control of society over society, leads almost invariably (or always invariably) to dictatorship, or one man in total control over society.)

Government, like capitalism, need regulation to keep to the middle ground of the most freedom for the most people.

Either extreme leads to too much control.

And finally, remember, one of the basics of mankind, true in all times and all places--everywhere--All Men Seek All Power--ALWAYS!

If you look into it (in a dictionary) there is no difference between democracy and republic; check it out.

Do we have a Republican form of government? No, we do not. We have an ologarchy, or plutocracy--government of the few or government of the rich.

Since 'the few' are also rich, or 'the rich,' I guess you can call it either one.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm

We have been a republic from our beginnings. We are still a republic. The few who are rich have a right to their riches. We do not have the right to take from those who have worked and earn their wealth or take from those who's wealth was passed on to them. To take away the wealth of others would make us all poor. If we the people are poor, so will the government be poor as we, thus the collapse of a nation.

You can not distribute another man's wealth. You say greed made the man's wealth. Isn't it greed that you want to take his wealth from him. It can only be through one man's wealth, through the jobs that he produces that others can share in his wealth.

I don't know much history of the pledge but I do know that "one nation under God" is a fairly new addition and should be taken back out. If it had been there from the beginning I might be OK with it but it was put in there to pander.

Nazi means National Socialist. It is an extreme form of leftist policies, total government control. A king is after all is a dictator.

Socialism is a form of government which gets its power from me by promising to give me your money.. It has always (historically) morphed into communism ("lenin") and a dictatorship... Not to worry, the oncoming threat of muslim extremeism is beyond the ability of our republic to handle and only our coming socialist dictatorship will be capable of defeating it... in the cards, so seys my xtal ball (sorry).. I predict that our future dictatorship will make what old Adolph did to the chews seem like kindergarten compared to what will happen to the muslims.. without a hitler style government, well, baby,, you had best learn to live under Shea law... You realise, of coarse, that old Adolph had to go to France at first, then eastern europe to steal the funds and manpower to sustain his socialism... Who are we going to steal it from??

Hitler's use of the word socialism was a con. He had complete disdain for socialism. If you Google it you will find more than you care to read.

Hitler also had a distain for Christianity but the left insist that Hitler was a Christian. Hitler's government was a form of socialism that conflicted with the socialism of Stalin. Stalin went full blown Communism.

Thanks for pointing out how seriously misguided as Americans you democrats are.
Responsible Americans know that feeding leeches only produces more leeches.
