Not pure socialism but a mix of capitalism and socialism seems to me the best for all.

Not really. No one in the US knows what socialism is anyway.

It's ok if you actually do something that remotely resembles the socialist agenda. Such as, helping the poor on a regular basis, being charitable, not spend every dollar you make on you and you alone, contribute to saving the environment by doing more than the minimum, pay taxes and agree to pay more without bitching.
If you are doing any of those things, than congrats, you are a proud socialist.
If you don't do any of that, you're a hypocrite. Talking a big game is worthless unless you actually do what you preach yourself.

extreme viewpoints make you wonder about people?
I am going to the extreme just as capitalist go to the extreme right. what's the difference? the U.S has made socialism seem evil, just like they have made illegal plants seem evil.

I agree with this because it seems more realistic/practical.

I don't think it's weird. It is quite common among cowards, losers and bums. But it is stupid.

Looks like zappa is out of work again trolling on the boards.

Its the in thing to be these days. I reject self proclaimed socialists almost entirely because their socialism conveniently stops when their wealth and lifestyle is suggested to be redistributed downward. American socialists want socialism for the rich (themselves) and capitalism for the poor (the rest of the world).
If the earth's natural resources were shared evenly every family of three would get the equivalent of 15k a year in buying power. Thats it. If you consume more than that and are a self proclaimed socialist you are a hypocrite. But they don't really care about humans that are poorer than them... they just want richer people to give them stuff.

if people could only earn (or rather be given, and not allowed to earn anything) 15k a year max, you would see no advancements in technology because there wouldn't be any motive to invent.

Note that is 15k for a family of three, not for one person alone.
If you want to argue for meritocracy, that is fine, but then you have to accept that there will be a family of three living on less than 15k per year to make up for the family of three living on more than 15k per year.
