I'll take your relatively snide deliberate ignorance of my sarcasm as recognition that I was right and that the recession does in fact provide a case study that proves you wrong. I'd also like to point out that I've seen funnier trolls, you're actually pretty amateurish.
Just to reiterate, I understood the sarcasm, but you aren't funny either. My point was that although you claimed that socialism puts workers at risk the recession in America hurt workers more than in more socialist countries.
Well it's a broad term, some people would include most of Europe (with Scandinavia having executed it the best), some people would go far more utopian, hell some yokels just assume it's akin to Stalinism.
