My own background is of being brought up in a family that supported the Labour Party and the Cooperative Movement. This was the progressive party of Attlee that brought in the national health service, and gave independence to India. My impression is that Socialism in the US tends to be identified with Communism, and Anti-Americal Activities.-America and socialism: As a country founded on the principles of Adam Smith, and to this day upholds the Horatio Alger myth as a common theme, I think it would be better to say that the independent nature of Americans is split between helping and doing for yourself. "Before you feed the kids in Africa, feed yourself."

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
