Hey Gouge I don't know you and just having fun at Nethorse. I can see a very rhetorical and quite distorted way on what you're saying. Nevertheless, I'd be very happy to read everything you have about Switzerland being a socialist country, I'm sure it will be very informative. Since it's the first time in my life I hear it, I'm very interested in knowing your sources.
As for TheDemon, what can I say... he's the clown everybody laughs and point fingers as the dumbest person in Earth, to be honest I tend to feel pity for him and how everybody laughs at him, so if TheDemon backs your POV, then you should be really worried
btw, just in case, here's some common definitions of socialism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/socialism
http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Socialism.html (here you have an ultra-right vision so you can't complain other sources are too "leftist")
http://www.answers.com/topic/socialism
if you can find a slight resemblance of the definition of socialism and Switzerland government, please let me know it. Again, I'm extremely curious and I'm always willing to learn something new
Just in case, before you go further, are you sure you're not confusing socialism with
WELFARE STATE? take a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_state and you'll see Switzerland mentioned there, while I couldn't find anything related to Switzerland and Socialism ANYWHERE. Just face up you fucked up and told some non-sense in your effort to back 2 ignorant individuals like Nethorse and everybody's clown OR let me know how did you get the strange idea that Switzerland (commonly known as one of the symbols of capitalism) is slightly connected to socialism
