why hate socialism?

With all due respect to all who support (a more) socialist environment.. One thing should not be forgotten:

A large majority of the countries that are counted as socialist or have socialist tendencies experienced a catastrophic breakdown of their society within the last 100 years, thus making a transition or transformation (relatively) easy.

Russia had the October Revolution, China the Culture Revolution (and some others), central Europe was devastated by WWI and WW2. Cuba had Castro and so on.

IMO, the only country that came out of this with no significant cultural or social damage was the USA.

Personally I am all for a bit more socialism, but I do not believe that it will be as easy as it is being sold by Obama. I would almost go so far and say it wont work at all.
