Being Social About Socialism - Get Real

 Socialism, what does it Really mean? If someone asked you on the street to define Socialism, what would your answer be? Would it be based on what you have seen and heard in mass media, what you have been taught through public schooling and/or higher education, or what you have researched to better understand the political sense of the word? Most people when asked what Socialism means would probably equate it to a bad thing where government runs our lives and controls all we have and do. It doesn't matter what political party an individual subscribes to, they have been programmed with buzz words and definitions via mass media. These messages are viewed and heard everyday through television, radio, or online, to incite fear, anger and confusion. A person may then ask a trusted friend who seems well informed and knowledgeable what they think of Socialism. That friend repeats what they have seen or heard, everyday, via their chosen form of  information. If that friend is truly knowledgeable, well versed, and gives an articulate answer about Socialism, the average person will be bored and sorry they asked because it requires to much thought. And, it would contradict all they have seen or heard everyday at work and at home via the media machine.

 I challenge you to Google an image search for "Socialism" and find one positive image or connotation on the first 3 pages. ***Warning*** Even with "Moderate" filters in place the Hate will assault you! Fear and Ignorance abound!


 So, what Is Socialism? It is what ever You define it to be in your reality. Whether you define it with your own research, knowledge, or what you see and hear, it truly is what You make of it. 

 Don't let society define you, you define society! Is that Socially PC? You decide.


  Meanwhile, back in his own mind, the pooch is in unfamiliar territory!
