  I must object to the misuse of the word "socialist."  Countries run by
  demagogues -- tyrants -- for their own purposes are the opposite of "socialist."
  Centrally-controlled economies, of which the USSR was the prime example,
  are doomed to failure even under a "socialist" banner -- they should be 
  called "stupid," not "socialist."   They must resort to police control of the
  populace because they are NOT socialist.
