Tell that to certain socialist parties in Europe. Methinks they definitely want to decide what is "best for everyone" on many levels, not only production and labour.
If we were to argue by textbook definitions, and only by the definitions created by those in question, then we could have some weird discussions. I mean, capitalists often don't decribe themself as evil either.
- jwdunne 11y agoThe problem is just that: they use the terms for their own ends. For example, North Korea is officially named "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". I dunno what sort of harsh totalitarian regime is democratic and the people's! Another example: the UK Labour party states it is a democratic socialist party. I don't think the premiership of Blair/Brown can be described as anything like that. I'm sure this is the case for many Labour parties across Europe (except for the UK, as of recent, that is...)
