As a conservative, I do not have a problem with socialism and the fact that some people might view socialism positively, AS LONG AS I NEED NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEIR SOCIALISM. The problem is, most socialists have plans that include me. This article makes a good point that the poll did not probe what the word socialism means to the respondents.

Gosh!!! There's just absolutely no surprise in this revelation. A tremendous amount of disdain and disgust; but no surprise. * A majority of 53% of Democrats have a positive image of socialism, compared to 17% of Republicans.

If you look at just the Republican v. Dem stats, assuming a 1:1 ratio, the break down would be 35% positive and 60% negative. That amounts to a small difference, but shows that the Dems are more represented. And they should ask a follow up question, do you pay income tax? Bet it breaks down exactly the same. Like Pro says, they are thieves. Again, it appears they over sampled Democrats. If you look at just the Republican v.

Mrs Norris had not the least intention of being at any expense whatever in her maintenance. As far as walking, talking, and contriving reached, she was thoroughly benevolent, and nobody knew better how to dictate liberality to others: but her love of money was equal to her love of directing, and she knew quite as well how to save her own as to spend that of her friends.” Jane Austen, "Mansfield Park" (1814).
