Definition: Socialism is a political term applied to an economic system in which property is held in common and not individually, and relationships are governed by a political hierarchy. Common ownership doesn't mean decisions are made collectively, however. Instead, individuals in positions of authority make decisions in the name of the collective group. Regardless of the picture painted of socialism by its proponents, it ultimately removes group decision making in favor of the choices of one all-important individual.
Socialism originally involved the replacement of private property with a market exchange, but history has proven this ineffective. socialism cannot prevent people from competing for what is scarce. Socialism as we know it today, most commonly refers to "market socialism," which involves individual market exchanges organized by collective planning.
People often confuse "socialism" with the concept of "communism." While the two ideologies share much in common -- in in fact communism encompasses socialism -- the primary difference between the two is that "socialism" applies to economic systems, whereas "communism" applies to both economic and political systems.
Another difference between socialism and communism is that communists directly oppose the concept of capitalism, an economic system in which production is controlled by private interests. Socialists, on the other hand, believe socialism can exist within a capitalist society.

TRINITY, Fla. In the last 50 years, the great American nation has been dramatically reshaped by the hands of various political leaderships. How far has Uncle Sam gone since the establishment of the constitution? Are the original goals of its founders spontaneously met or has there gone a sly breach in the truth left unbeknown to the American people? In The Good Old Days versus Tyranny Today,(published by Xlibris) an intriguing inquiry into the current state of the US political health, author ATOS poses challenging assertions about the possible misalignment of ideologies then and now, how the country is entering a new socialist age and the misleading propaganda that masks the reality behind it.
"In this edition I try to point out to the reader how our current political system is dangerously corrupt and is very divergent to the thoughts and ideas of our framers," says ATOS. "The Democratic Party from its grass roots during the Great Depression has been transformed into a Socialistic Party and has 'fellow travelers' in our elected Congress."
To back his claims, the author presents readers an analysis of the recent policies being adopted in the system that are a possible preface to bolder political reformations in the future. He also quotes the words of Thomas Jefferson along with modern ideological concepts to outline the differences in this thinking between the 'founders' and the current administration. Moreover, he provides factual comparisons to prove how the country is detracted as a constitutional republic.
"Our political system is corrupt and must be rectified if we are to survive as a nation," he says. With this, the author hopes that his ideas would ring a bell among many and break the brainwashing propaganda that the American people are enforced to believe. "It's happening today, everyday; we have to see the truth for ourselves, what's really happening against what we are being told."
