Socialism and America

This is a relatively clever comic, but not historically accurate.  The term socialism was not coined until the 1830's. 

I have no problem with individuals getting together to own and share resources.  I do have a problem when individuals are forced to do so.

"The difference between libertarianism and socialism is that libertarians will tolerate the existence of a socialist community, but socialists can't tolerate a libertarian community." – David D. Boaz (1997)
