The "Moral Majority" calls itself both moral and a majority.
And "creation science" calls itself science.  Boy, it's sure hard to
tell the players without a scorecard.  Most socialist parties in
existence today believe that the capitalist economic system should
be superseded through democratic methods, by evolution.  The communist
parties believe in abrupt change, revolution, led of course by
themselves.  No one ever thought of the Nazis as socialists.  The
Nazis were capitalists through and through, as I. G. Farben or any
Krupp could surely tell you.  Or read Fritz Thissen's "I Paid Hitler."

Socialism is what Chile tried when it elected Allende.  His American-
engineered assassination, though, sheds some light on why the communists
believe that capitalism must be destroyed worldwide.
