In a Democracy, the term 'Socialism" is an oxymoron.

In a Democracy, the term 'Socialism" is an oxymoron. Simply, a Democracy is Government, "of the People", "by the People", and "for the People". The essence of democracy is "People", real People. Democratic government 'governs' the 'Bottom' of the structure of Three Branch Government. It governs Individuals, not a 'whole block of thousands or millions of Individuals' living next to each Other, in the 'collective condition' called the 'social'. The term, 'social', is a 'very general abstract' term that includes the whole 'condition of togetherness'. Government cannot govern such a 'unit' in 'all' its 'particulars'. That is not real Government. In a democratic 'condition of togetherness', the individuals constituting such a 'condition' do not lose their 'Individuality' by being in the 'condition'. Hence, the abstract term 'Socialism', in a democracy, is an oxymoron. Government, in a democracy, 'governs' each, and every, Individual in the 'condition of togetherness', and should not 'exclude' any Individual, or 'group of Individuals', based on Race, Color, or Creed, economic status, or any other 'individual characteristic'. It should not consider the 'corporate nature', as if it was a 'real' person, nor should such a 'fictitious Person' be allowed to 'participate' in politics. The economy is separate from 'politics' and the 'condition of togetherness'. Government must help the 'real Individuals' that need help; the economy functions with a different 'motor', and never shall the twain meet. Government is not being 'Socialistic', if it helps the Individual, it is being Democratic. If Government cannot help the Individuals that 'established it', it is not doing its job as a 'Governor'. A 'condition of togetherness' that does not 'continue to grow' and to 'benefit from its condition', will soon deconstruct. How sad, we create 'economic monsters' and now they turn on us. They need to be 'controlled', and Politicians need to be 'reined in'.
