So is democracy the antithesis of freedom? You can't have it both ways.

You believe the US should ACTIVELY oppose democracy in a foreign nation whilst spurting rubish about socialism being the 'anthesis of freedom'.

Since democracy does not automaticity equal freedom then it doesn't really matter.

While a democratic system will tend to be more free it is not necessarily an indicator of freedom.

People can be duped into voting for a great deal of freedom robbing ideas. In the case of Venezuela they have bee tricked or bullied into thinking that socialism is the answer.

Socialism IS in fact the antithesis of freedom.

I already know that you are a socialist so we don't need to have a whole rehash of your beliefs. ok? I am totally fine with you being wrong, as long as you are and don't really have the time to teach you what your going to learn in the process of getting your Poli Sci degree.

I am not a socialist and have never said I am. In fact I think my first post in the political forum stated that I had once been fond of democratic socialism but do not subscribe to it.
