I'm still reeling with shock that one of our greatest political theorist described Brown as a socialist on this forum.
so·cial·ism
1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
I can think of many things I could call him, but that certainly isn't one of them.
