I am really sad that so many people in the US have not been able to view socailism objectively- seeing only Soviet Communism as "what socialim does." On the other hand they can easily distinguish forms of "capitlism." They would never equate US democracy with Kenyan democracy for exmample.

This is particularly sad because it forces black people in America to think that socialism is not viable in this hemisphere or to see that they are varying degrees and forms that this ideology can be implemented. (Perhaps this stops them from realizing that the race problem is really a class problem.)

Peace.
