I think if you ask people if they like socialism or capitalism, most people won't know what those words mean. I think a better survey would ask people if they believe that wealth should be forcibly redistributed; if they think rich people have too much money and ought to be made to give up some of it. I think that survey would really get to the nub of the difference between Democrats and Republicans, at least in the traditional sense of what those parties represent. Traditionally, Republicans have represented capitalism, and Democrats have advocated redistribution of wealth.
