socialist system

James Redford asserted:
The reality of the situation is that we have a one-party socialist system in the U.S

I would be interested in seeing this explained further and/or clarified. While I think you mean to confine the party system and elites within the category "socialist system" it may be misleading to characterize the greater American system which led to this state of affairs as "socialist." Not that you meant to, but I am not sure, thus my questioning here. I mean, I understand corporate welfare and all that, but I am not sure it is accurate to label this form of totalitarianism as socialist. While all systems have fallen into totalitarianism, I wonder which brand of totalitarianism best describes America? Would just like a little clarification if you have time. What is the relationship between the corporate-controlled party-and-elite system, and socialism for you? Wasn't our system based on the free market of ideas and candidates? How did it evolve into the rigged system we now see? Thanks, Gouda

Smiths, what interests me is why CNN posted that photo on its international edition front page...

(added on edit as an afterthought)

...and why these two people chose a path that would land them in the same room, near a cynical pinnacle of power so nasty that they could be French kissing or pulling each other's hair and it would not make a difference in the scheme of what it means for these two to be together at the cynical pinnacle of power with nary an inkling of or care for the millions of citizens on the other side of the flash bulb.
