I am currently a Junior college student majoring in political science. I consider myself a democratic socialist. My goal is to work for a political party, congressman, or maybe some activist organization. I love sports and music. I enjoy pick up games of basketball, playing baseball, debating, surfing the web, reading, listening to music, and watching movies.
Socialism is something you just cant force upon people. I strongly disagree with the idea of forcing it upon people with a dictatorship. I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of expression, the right to assemble, and the right to bear arms!
"Privatization is a neoliberal and imperialist plan. Health cant be privatized because it is a fundamental human right, nor can education, water, electricity and other public services. They cant be surrendered to private capital that denies the people from their rights." - Hugo Chávez

Nationalize the banks and insurance companies under democratic workers control and management, and compose the board of directors so that 1/3rd would be elected by bank workers, 1/3rd by the trade unions, and 1/3rd from the government. He would provide compensation for banks and other companies only in cases of proven need to pension funds, 401k funds (and similar retirement funds), workers and retired workers.
Our media is controlled by corporations. Extremely powerful organizations, far more powerful than one person, but with none of the culpability. Our government is controlled by corporations. Organizations with a lot of money, whose only aim is to make more, little people be damned. And we wonder why our government is broken. We’re mad as hell – nothing is working. We can’t find a decent job, hell, any job at all. So who’s fault is that? Surprise.

The role of the North American Free Trade Agreement and misnamed 'free trade' has been scarcely mentioned in the increasingly bitter debate over the fate of America's 11 to 12 million illegal aliens.
