Re: Campaign and vote for Howard Kudler, Defeat GOP Congressman Peter King in Long Island's 3rd Congressional District:

What is Socialism?

updated August 2010

There are many "kinds of", "types" or "branches" of all political
parties. Same holds true for Socialism. This list contains a small
portion of information you can find covering Socialism


BASICS:
"Socialism offers the best environment for democracy to fully flourish
because it sharply limits the power of corporations to dominate
politics and the economy. Socialism's democratic potential can only be
realized,however, if broad sections of the people are wholeheartedly
engaged inevery aspect of society's decision-making
processes." (Communist Party USA – http://www.cpusa.org/faq/)
