I think that Australians have a skewed perspective on Americans.  It might be your convict heritage (how's it feel?).  I was born and brought up in the immediate area of the first pure Communist society in history (it pre-dated Marx and Engels).  The Oneida Community was a religious society that held all property in common; they also had no real marriages, nor were children raised by their biological parents.  They even dabbled in Human breeding experiments, with some pretty bad results (they didn't know about recessive/dominant genes).  The actual community no longer exists, but perhaps you may have heard of Oneida Community Limited, the biggest manufacturer of tableware in the world.
There were a large number of Socialist/Communist experiments in the United States.  It's too bad that none of them were succesful, it might have changed the way Americans are perceved by the rest of the world.

Doctor V:
The movement has already started.  Leftists are coming to power all over the world.  In Europe, Socalist thinking is already tolerated.  The EU considers the people important, instead of focusing 100% on business and leaving the needs of the people in businesses hands.  South America will be the next point of leftist uprisings.  Other than Castro (who is a bit too radical IMO) in Cuba, we have seen Hugo Chaves come to power in Venesuela.  Soon, former union leader "Lula" will take power in Brazil, and from there, South American Countries will liberate themselves one by one.  The South American liberation will rise up and probably stop at Mexico.  From there, India, and much of Southeast Asia will rise, and along with a moderate Europe, a good chunk of the world will be free of USAs grasp.

This is true, I left USA 3 years ago, and because of this fact will probably never go back.

we have all "upgraded" or something. hopefully now the members of the forum will have less bugs and crashes, or at least show-off a new feature that will revolutionize Humanity-1.5a. the good thing is, if we dont like it, we can change them    (provided everyone here is released under the gpl and are not naxis like m$)
anyways, ill stop now since im bored (does it show?)  and this post has nothing to do with the topic..

*shhh* don't mention the evil 'S' word; the americans don't like it.

That's right what you say about technology making socialism more achievable; in fact free software is an example of the perfect application of left-wing philosophy to an end that is practically useful to everyone.

I'm an American, and I don't have any problem with Socialism. Aren't we technically Socialist now? The votes of the people really don't matter, and the gov't controls parts of the economy.

So there.
