[lbo-talk] Chris Hedges comes out as socialist

[Matthias Wasser]

I think at this point it might be easier to describe whom "socialist"
doesn't include.

I was arguing with a fellow some time ago who insisted that Barack
Obama was a socialist. I asked him to define his terms, and he said
that socialism is "the redistribution of wealth." "By that
definition," says I, "every society to ever exist has been socialist!"
He nodded his head, smiling stupidly.
