I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of a democratic socialist, social democrat, and communalist, with a greenward bent and anarchist sympathies.
I would have people get together and decide democratically what kind of systems they favor. I think people should be able to own at least homes, personal possessions, and plots of land for growing some food, while other resources should be generally managed communally in a way that people have democratically decided is fair. Probably there a more expansive market system than that even.
How did that work out for the people in the Soviet Union, Venezuela, China, do I need to go on? You have your freedom of speech, and I have my 2nd amendment to defend myself from the likes of you trying to force your ideals on me :)

What are you talking about? What I described has never been the ideology nor the actuality in those places.
Oh come on, what are the chances that some Internet tough guy and his guns could defend himself out of a wet paper bag? Probably next to nothing if there was ever a real revolution.

Also NAZI was short for the National Socialist Party. Google won't tell you that, but Hitler and Nazi Germany were full blown socialists. That's why him and Stalin were buddies for a while.

In fact Google will tell you that. If you ask it, it will also tell you the definition of socialism, so you can see that neither Stalin nor Hitler were actually socialists. All with Google!

Would you consider Napoleon a socialist?

No. A liberal in terms of policy, but a despot in terms of political governance. I'm not as knowledgeable on Napoleon as I should be though.

I would say they would both have said themselves that they were socialists but neither implemented the socialist ideal. I would also say that the British conservative party that are seen as right wing try desperately to be socialist but just can't do it and the Labour party which are seen as left wing try desperately to be capitalist and just cant do it. They actually both try to please everyone but are just hopeless at it. In the USA however they are just plain useless both parties & I don't even know what they are trying to achieve, Even Kennedy and he probably was the best wasn't the brightest of chaps. Since then they seem to have had a succession of blithering idiots.

Hitler was only the 7th member of the party & was a compete narcissist & took the party over as leader shortly after joining. He threatened them if they didn't make him their leader he would start his own party they had to accept the offer because without him they were a bunch of nobodies going nowhere the only reason they had support was because of the popularity of Hitlers speeches.
