Even though we may be currently in a period of regression, I would say that socialist principles have made quite an inroad into our governing structures since the beginning of the New Deal. Granted, it may not be as much as some want but still, the fear of socialists gaining power has pushed governing parties into implementing programs with socialist elements in order to lessen public support for the opposition. Probably more so here in Canada than in the US. Socialism may not be victorious, but it is far from being defeated or dead. Even if he whose name is procscribed from this list wishes that it were. -- Jerry West Editor/publisher/janitor ---------------------------------------------------- THE RECORD News and Views from Nootka Sound & Canada's West Coast An independent, progressive regional publication http://www.island.net/~record/
