[MD] socialism

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Marsha]
No that is not rocket science; that is analogy, and your analogy did not hit 
home.  

[Arlo]
How so? If something HAS cancer, you would not try to treat it? Or if something
IS cancer, you would not try to eradicate it?

[Arlo previously]
"socialism has cancer , socialism is cancer" (Adrie)

You'd hold the former view if you believed that "socialism" has a defect that
can be overcome.

You'd hold the second if you believed that "socialism" was a defect in and of
itself.
