Whew!  Jj is a bit, ummm, uninformed.  An example is his assertion that
a socialist "government" cannot be as far sighted as a "republic".

Might be nice if he defined his terms.  Socialism is an economic form, not
a type of government.  Same with communism.  It's just that it has become
popular parlance these days to call governments which tout a particular
social system to strive for by the name of the desired economic form.

Don't confuse some of the "actually existing socialisms" with what could be
achieved in the more developed countries.  One doesn't have to give up a
democratic political system to deal a death blow to the CMP, although it is a 
real possibility which must be prevented.
