lol Are you seriously trying to imply that Ron Paul isn't a capitalist?
Also, I don't use wikipedia as a source of information, you should trying reading an actual book on political science sometime if you want to know what "socialism" actually is.
And "voluntarism" is a kind of vulgar possessive-individualist fantasy popular with spoiled upper-middle-class teenagers.
Nice try = )

@AStarSpangledGirl So, a free society is could certainly exist in a socialist society.

@AStarSpangledGirl Since you said to go to wikipedia I did. First sentence, "Socialism is an economic system characterized by the social ownership of the means of production." Paul uses it in totally the wrong sense like the majority of all conservatives do by relating it to government tyranny over business. All socialism really is is democracy extended into the industrial sphere. The public workers would democratically run the business' they work for instead of being subjected to labor division

@MsSexySocialist Have you read Adam Smith? And what the fuck is a capitalist?

@1styankeefan More like MSNBC

@TheBoxingCannabyte So what is your point about what I have said ,I dont understand.Do you mean some system are good for specific things?!?Like the case of health care...

@mattbell555-and saying "AH-HAH! See?! see?!"
When in reality modern day democratic-socialist-progressi
ve societies have the highest taxes, yet the lowest rates of poverty, NO bankruptcy from medical or educational expenses (because there are none, or virtually none). Yet people are actually more free in France than they are here! Why? because they have more choices! :) so thanks for your post, just wanted to add something to it :) I hope you concur. -
@mattbell555, I agree to an extent. I believe that the proof is in the pudding when it comes to health care. The biggest, most often used criticism of health care is "well, they have lower cancer survival rates in universial/socialist health care systems" and that is patently false. The studies used were manipulated by using easily survivable diseases here in the U.S and picking out less survivable ones (people who were stage 3-4 instead of stage 1, for example)...

@AStarSpangledGirl, excuse me, but have you read any of Noam Chonsky's work? Because it seems ike you don't get what MsSexySocialist was trying to say, also, ending with the condescending "YOU darling." Just makes you come across as pretentious and therefore it means you don't really care if your message gets across to this person or not, at least it seems so

@quidnick See your ideology is SO insane you have to reject your humanity - you are clearly deeply disturbed - but goes with the territory eh?
Ron Paul as usual spouts nonsense with no basis in reality.
Contrary to what he says, a capitalist society COULD exist in a stateless socialist society.
Libertarian Socialism is conceived politically and economically as a free confederation of autonomous self-governing communities which are voluntarily networked together.
If any community or group wanted to secede from the confederation and institute wage-labor, class domination, and all that fun stuff, they'd be free to do so.

@MsSexySocialist Ummm...tell me when Dr Paul mentioned CAPITALISM??? Secondly...
The fact that you are equating Capitalism with a Free Society makes you lose ALL credibility right off the bat.
Also...you might want to revisit Wikipedia and learn the meaning of "Socialism".
I think you might be confusing "Socialism" with Voluntarism. Just saying.....
I would say the only one spouting nonsense is YOU darling.
