Globe & Mail readers recently agreed overwhelmingly that socialism is still a viable political alternative in advanced industrial nations. Unscientific? Yes, but still shocking given the current political climate.

So unscientific as to be worthless, I'm afraid.
First of all, web polls are self-selection at their worst. While it may be slightly more representative than a poll at the Western Standard, I'm pretty this is wildly skewed.
Also, I have some serious doubts as to the sophistication of people's understanding of what 'socialism' actually means. As historically-laden 'isms' go, this one is a doozy. And since the poll doesn't provide any clarification, I'm sure the variation in what people thought they were supporting was vast.
