Odds are, yes.
1.2 Are historical third world dictatorships a good exampleof democratic socialism?
No.
wow. epic trottery from the start. 0 stalins out of 5
.4 What about Chile, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore?
All of those countries relied heavily on export promotion and industrial policy.Although taxes and tariffs were nominally low, the government influenced resource allocation through regulated monopolies and planning agencies (the nationalized telecoms and copper, CORFO, etc). The Asian Tigerswould likely have a very low “economic freedom score” during their early takeoff because they were very corrupt and unstable at the time. Their institutional qualityonly improved later, as a result of development. Most of these countries also hadhigh public investment and good public education systems relative to other countries in their regions
2.4: soooooo you’re trying to convince us the socialism works by appealing to the success of nepotistic state capitalist societies that suppressed leftist movements?

My wit fails me. ed: By the way, "democratic" != "elections"
some frequently asked questiosn about socialism: what about human nature is it that makes socialism fail every time? why would you want all the lazy people to do nothign and mooch off of you? what incentive is there to develop new inventions etc... if you werent going to receive the benefits you get udner capitalism?
Those are answered in every FAQ out there. But I guess they are obligatory.

It's a start. I could start off the FAQ by praising Mao and Stalin but I think that would not go over well.

Interesting theory. Don't posit it again.

That's not constructive. I can't just make up my own arguments for things. As a matter of fact I can't even post this FAQ anywhere it will be read.
1.
Q: Isn't it true that social ism proposed equality for people of all races and etc. and an end to economic classes? Given this, isn;t it important to work towards socalism in the here and now by attempting to end imbalances in the modern world, such as the fact that more women than men graduate college, and that women live on average eight years longer than men?
A: Yea thats true mate
2.
Q: Under socialism will we all live in communes with unisex group showers
A: Oh most def

Mens Rights Activist forums would be a tough nut to crack. I think I'll start off with YouTube comments for Ron Paul videos.
