Exactly what percentage of the population are you claiming want to completely do away with capitalism and go to a pure socialist economy where the government owns and controls all the means of production? And what is your source for your opinion.
From what I see almost everyone wants to keep a capitalist economy with expanded social programs. But the rigth-wing media refers to a capitalist economy with expanded social programs as "socialism" just to scare the rubes.
Pretty much. That's where I am on things as a social democrat. I just like to make people uncomfortable by bringing up Marxist stuff because it's fun.
