There's been a lot of loose talk about a New American socialism. That's not just obfuscatory, it's self reinforcing. So I'm going to do my bit to nip this while it's small.

Socialism is a economic and political theory that advocates for government control of means of production. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

No politicians are promoting any substantial increase in American socialism.

The error seems to stem from the idea that trying to remedy an economic collapse by giving management of billions of dollars to the very people who created the economic collapse because they mismanaged billions of dollars is Socialism. It's not Socialism unless the government actually gets control of the means of production. They don't have control of means of production- they get next to nothing of value in return- so, whatever it is, it's NOT Socialism.

Today at the IRON LABYRINTH we're going to have sunshine and blue skies and bunnies and kittens and cookies and balloons and happiness and joy...

Wheee.

On second thought, no. No, we won't. I like things just the way they are.

Surprised?? I thought not.

No, we won't do that but I have noticed a layer of dust about the LABYRINTH lately... I've been meaning to sweep up a bit and so I'll ask that you mind the dust while I make some new installations.
