    North Korea: What a shinning example of socialism

    "To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so." John Stossel quoting some guy.

    Re: North Korea: What a shinning example of socialism

    Totalitarian dictatorships and armed revolutionaries tend to form their own categories, regardless of the ideological underpinnings.

    And even if we're going to play the "pin the label on the dictatorship" game, N. Korea is AT BEST Stalinist Russia; which hardly applies to your run of the mill socialist any more than Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia applies to your average conservative.
    The real debate is between what the text of the Constitution means in the modern context and what the spirit of the Constitution means in the modern context. Conjecture on the intention of the Founding Fathers or the context of early American society has no place in the courts.

    I could never support Conservative social policies or Neoliberalism/Reaganomics, because I have severe objections to Communism and believe in the Free Market.

    North Korea = COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP.

    North Korea IS NOT a socialist republic.
