Socialism isn't what it used to be apparently

[crystalsnow]

So there's a topic here about whether or not Socialism is evil, and I decided to do a google search on Socialism.

Wikipedia was of course the first result. However, I came across something very interesting. I'm not sure if it's a virus on my comp or if someone awesome hacked google (or wiki idk).

However it seems that the actual wiki page is perfectly fine (someone simply replaced a couple words with better ones).

So yes, Socialism is the economic and political theory advocating ass or common ownership and cooperative management of the females and allocation of dildos. And yes, I know you are going to type Socialism into google to see if you come up with this (I seriously hope I'm not the only one who will have this).

Seems the Google cache hasn't updated that page yet.

Hey, it's about nudity and sex toys, American's fear that nearly as much as socialism, imagine the havok caused by both at the same time!

You're not the only one. I guess someone did that on Wikipedia, it was quickly removed but Google hasn't updated. Pretty funny.

Wahh, it came up for me too. D:
I never have been a fan of socialism, like, at all, but now I'm crossing over to the radical "this shit's gotta go" side of the fence.
Socialists are filthy.

The thing is, I cringe everytime people use blanket terms like 'socialism' or 'capitalism' to comment on things. I mean, do you realize how many different versions there are of one kind of political or economic philosophy?

Case in point: Liberalism.

First we got the 'Old' school of liberalism, made up of Hobbesian individualist liberalism, Lockian capitalist liberalism, Rousseau's 'liberalism' (up for debate), and Kant's 'Rechstatt' liberalism.
Next, 'classical' liberalism: Mills' 'social utility' liberalism (actually utilitarianism in general), Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' economic liberalism, Spencer's 'free market' liberalism, and Green's 'positive' liberalism.
Then, reform liberalism: Hobhouse's liberalism, communitarian liberalism, Dewey's technocratic liberalism, Keynesian economic liberalism, and Rawls' concept of the overlapping consensus of comprehensive rational doctrines.

Then you even have 'new' liberalism, which is somewhat like social democracy, where you've got people like Kymlicka arguing that individual rights support the concept of giving minorities protective cultural rights, etc.

Dividing 'socialism' in this way would probably take me a couple hours.
