What Is Socialism?

This recession is causing many people to question the capitalist economic system and to seek alternatives.

A recent poll by Rasmussen found that only 53% of American adults believe that capitalism is better than socialism. 33% of adults under 30 prefer socialism.

Merriam-Webster reported that socialism was the third most searched-for term (”bailout” was #1) during 2008 in their online dictionary, which receives 125 million views per month, meaning millions of people were looking to find out what socialism means.

While the word “socialism” has been receiving much attention, much of its meaning has been distorted by the corporate media and right-wing politicians. If you are interested in finding what socialism really is and what socialists do, please join us for this presentation and discussion.
