Then we would be in trouble!

Of course we people in other countries could just be voting Obama out of spite...:hmm:

It's strange though, that countries that form the laws around what they think their gods want them to do don't vote McCain, I'd have thought was republican policy.

Globalism=Socialism. Being born in a Country that actually had to fight for its freedom, I understand this perfectly.

Hardly. You have removed the competition part of it at the knees by making it all one country.

Yes, but that's something that came about due to market forces in the first place.

Reguardless, of socialism, or capitalism, who owns the capital is the difference. Socialism, communism, and fascism all have the government owning the "capital".

Fascism lets people think they own their capital, but they are controlled by the government through taxation and regulation.

Communism / socialism is more up front. The state owns controlling power of the capital.

Free market capitalism does let people own their capital, but only to a point. It too easily can fall into the trap of fascism, as government gets too involved in it's workings.

So the comment globalism=capitalism is more accurate. But who owns the capital is the question. Since capital is the means of production.

So basically, they are all capitalist in nature, just the levels of involvement are different.

Agreed! But the people are really the sheeple, so they cannot figure this out...

Yeah, no other country has ever had to do that.

You guys are really special that way.

We use these poor countries like our bitch and throw them out of the car after we have cum. Sorry Georgia, no reach around.

Yet your Presidential candidate wants to get out of Iraq on a specified date no matter what the situation is leading to a repeat of Vietnam.:hmm:

It's been a repeat of Vietnam for years now. Don't take my word for it. Youtube what what they are doing in the way of counter insurgency. They airlift and drive into a village. They find nothing but old men, women and children. Maybe a booby trap here or there. Rinse repeat. Same stuff, different war.
