They are not mutuality exclusive.<br /><br />Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Church charities are ALL socialist concepts.

If we define socialism as "state ownership of industry", then I guess you would be right that the USSR is more socialist than Western Europe, but if we are defining socialism as "collective ownership of industry", it would be hard to claim that an autocratic state where the proletariat have zero say about how industry is run is less socialist than Western European states where the people have a degree of indirect influence over state-owned industries through democratically elected representatives.<BR/><BR/>B.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
