On its foundation the Liberal party was indeed in part Socialist
Reading the words of Sir Robert Menzies, understanding the hold he had on voters is worth the effort
Time has made us forget our health, education, welfare, transport, even power supply was in fact much nearer to Socialism than it is now
America thought of us as Socialist
Now Poland, a country that helped bring about the end of Russian Communism, marches behind a NAZI Prime Minister chanting Poland must be white
America avoids understanding it is lead by the servant of Russia, Turkey, money influence, and we fear the left?

My area of contention about defining socialism is that it is claimed as the motivator for any sort of welfare. I think that welfare and kindness to others were part of humanity at its inception, certainly long before socialism was conceived.

Having conservative views, I have no ideology about how things should be done, but I do want to see things done efficiently so as to provide a prosperous economy that can provide people good lives. The wastage and mismanagement of socialist experiments has always resulted in economic and social decline. If socialism delivered I would be a big supporter of the concept.

A case in point. Automated factories are being built in the United States and providing jobs, yet in Australia Labor proposes a robot tax. Will evidence trump ideology? With Labor, ideology has always been a hurdle.

Belly, rather quiet on The pride of the Labor Party.

A shining example of waste of taxpayers money.

It can be hard to defend the indefensible at times.

I think master-debating with children is illegal.
