Thought for the day...

It's appauling how many people have never actually read anything on socialism that wasn't written by a right-wing idealogue (and this is speaking as someone who has absolutely no love for socialism), and who haven't even the faintest grasp of ethics or political and social philosophy. Actually, that's not what's appauling, that's just depressing. What's appauling is when these people assume that they are well-versed enough in such things to communicate intelligably about them. The sheer idiocy I've seen with regard to how socialism is depicted is really unbelievable. It's a flawed ideological system, people; Karl Marx was not the devil incarnate, just a misguided fool.
