Raistlin I had always been under the assumption that there were many forms of socialism. This was fueled by the fact that Socialism is many times refered as a go between inbetween capitalism and communism.
As far as my knowledge on socialism goes is that in socialism at least part if not most of the buisness is put in control of the collective. That would mean that even if there is some free buisness that it could still be socialism. Socialism is a very broad term, and when used in such as this thread should be defined more clearly.
The extremes are pure capitalism and pure communism. The go between is socialism. Anything that isn't in the extremes(to my knowledge) is at least part socialistic. If not capable of being considered fully socialistic. There are degrees of socialism, they must be defined for reasonable debate.
edit- here is a clearer question... where is the line between the three drawn? are only the extremes capitalism and communism and everything else socialist.... that would make many nations socialists. Or is the line blurred.. and where does the blur end?
