Unless you count social Democrats as socialists.

According to cinyc, the resident expert on socialism and Brazil, they're the same evil things.

Hm, wasn't it cynic who made shocking discovery that Lula is a socialist?

Yes, as I said, he's the resident Einstein on Brazil and socialism. He's a real genius, I tell ya. I don't know if he found out that Vargas was a commie yet, do you know?

Openly socialist? That's certainly an interesting way of putting it. Are their large numbers of closeted socialists living double-lives and pretending to be good little liberals?

Anyway, two things (of many) that Socialism has in common with Christianity is a massive range of different groups and approaches, and a concept of heresy.

That's an odd definition of socialism.

Is Opebo not listed here, because you consider him not a socialist, but a Marxist, or what? Smiley

Thanks for thinking of me, old chap, and I have to confess I was simultaneously pleased, chagrined and impressed that I was not mentioned here.  My guess would be that people (correctly) classify me as a kind of just-short-of-socialist social democrat or some other less-left-than-socialist designation, or (and I'm hoping this isn't the case) just a crackpot.
