If you want a perfect example of socialism you need only look toward our own military. If you must ask, the reasoning behind this is that all members are "on the same page" thus work together as a team when kicking a third world ass. Brett >> Hi Brett, I don't know where you received your education in political science, but I'm afraid that the military is definitely not an example of socialism. A dictatorship, yes. Totalitarianism, yes. But socialism, no way. Socialism is an economic ideal that has been practiced (usually not too successfully) in the Eijido's in Mexico and the Kibbutz's in Israel, for example. But the leadership of the military really has nothing whatever to do with socialism. Take care and safe diving, Scott -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
