[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 910236, member: 7966"] [COLOR=#0000cd]Since I've been posting in Current Events for the past month, this has been a recurring theme I have pushed. MFE still thinks I am a kook for saying this. That is a fairly good indicator we are right.[/COLOR] This observation backs up the complaint of many pundits that there are no real conservatives in American politics today. I still classify all the US National government elected as Democratic Socialists --- just at varying degrees. And I am okay with that, Social programs are entrenched in our society and most support some of these programs.

Missing from this category due to your criteria is China where private ownership of property and business entities is growing very strongly and is part of government policy.
