If a business charges far more than their competitors, the consumers won't patronize that business. Having government price regulations cause more harm to the consumer as well as to businesses. It eliminates or restricts competition so prices do not reflect the demand and competition for customers. When I was a kid, I remember gas station price wars. There were no restrictions on what the owner of a gas station could charge. But to get the most customers, they could not charge more than their competitors. And to pull customers away from their competitors, the price might be dropped. Then the war would start. Each station lowering their price below their competitor in turn.

Free enterprise keeps prices down. Which is why we do not allow monopolies. Socialism allows the government to be the monopoly.....

Can OPP bloggers please give your definition of socialism and where you believe socialism is applied in our government.


Can OPP give the true definition of Capitalism and where Capitalism is applied in our government.

Can OPP bloggers give the definition of Marxism and where Marxism is applied in our Government.

Hopefully will will generate a great debate over these three forms of government. There’s no reason for insults.


Socialism in the US is defined by democRats as the number of voters they herd into city slums giving them just enough of others money to stay alive while blaming everyone else for these peoples problems. Never getting out these people will die in those slums.

Capitalism is a person working hard to reach his goals without government getting to greedy along the way.

Marxism is no matter how hard you work or how little you work it all goes to the government. What you need is decided by government. If government says you don't need food you die.

A pure capitalist society uses a total free market economy. A free market economy is self regulating. It is based of the simple rule of supply and demand. Competition reduces prices of goods and increases employment incentives. While in various types of socialist systems, an elite ruling class has no inherent limitations on them but must be limited by laws and oversight. Many of our members of Congress behave as it they are above the law and that the people who elected them are their subjects and not their bosses. The more our country moves toward socialism, the greater power they will have.

Socialism is an umbrella term which encompasses from Communism to Social Democrat.

Agree completely, well presented.

Questions are generally punctuated by question marks (They look like this... ?). Since there are no question marks, these cannot be questions.

The word "private" was not used in the preamble. But even if it were not used elsewhere, as an individual's right to property, I'm certain the founders weren't speaking of public property owned by the state. But the the phrase "private property" is in the Bill of Rights. The 5th Amendment. The pertinent portion is: "...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." And though the word "private" is not used in the 14th Amendment; when it says, "any person", it is clearly about INDIVIDUAL property rights not state or public property.

Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Amendment XIV
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
