42% of Democrats are in Favor of Socialism

The left makes the lame argument that all government is socialism and they use roads as an example but public roads, libraries, and other things do not interfere with individuals who want to do something on their own for profit. They should not share any kind of intersection with each other and the total economic(s) of individuals is free of interference from these institutions. They don't smother them into non-existence and seem to coexist side by side in a neatral kind of manor which is why no one complains about roads and libraries.


Moronic "conclusion"...........Democratic socialism does NOT interfere with the entrepreneur...that you must have heard on FOX or some other dumb blog by a fellow right winger.

Ask yourself this: If that entrepreneur wants to mine gold and then throws arsenic into the river that provides drinking water for a town....should THAT kind of action be "free of interference"????

Yes it does unless to your way of thinking collectives and communes decided how a company will run doesn't interfere.
 
socialist aspects does not equal socialism.
We are turning into a socially Marxist population. Does that make us Marxists? The govt regulates so much shit from people to businesses. Does that make us fascists?


Dumb as usual.....Congrats......

Should I then state that capitalistic aspects do NOT equal capitalism???

Well there are laws against poisoning people but government mining the gold would end up costing more than they took out. But they do it anyway for the jobs and think the employees spending money would increase the economy.
 
Here are 20 institutions within the U.S. that right wingers don't even realize are socialist:

1, Social Security
2. Medicare and Medicaid
3. The Post Office
4. Public Schools and Colleges and Universities
5. Libraries
6. Water Treatment Systems
7. Recreational Centers, including Gyms, Parks, Beaches
8. National Parks
9. Public Transit Systems, Trains, Subways, Buses
10.Police, Firefighters, Sanitation Services, Public Hospitals
11.Military Services and Protection
12.Labor Protections
13.Food and Drug Regulations
14.Environmental Protections
15.Financial Institutions Regulations
16.Transportation Safety Regulations
17.Housing Regulations
18.Energy Regulations
19.Military Veterans Protections
20.Homeland Security Protections

OK, here goes, from his/her own definition.......

1. Social security........yep, ponzi socialist scheme going broke.

2. Med and Med........Socialist ponzi scheme going broke.

3. Post Office..............in the red, just like Socialism, going broke.

4. Public Schools.........are so good and Socialist, the employees won't allow vouchers of choice for small children, or they would go broke. Can't survive with competition.

5. Libraries.........and what do they have in there, encyclopedia Britannica you can get online? Don't know if they are going broke, but in todays day and age, are useless, just like everything Socialist.

6. Water Treatment.........this is government services needed regardless of what kind of system you have. If you want to claim it is Socialist, then I say, look at Michigan-)

7. 8. Recreational centers, National Parks..............would be funded by charities better, and would then actually have better services. Gyms? Are you saying they are non-profit and a businessperson opens them just to be nice? You are seriously kidding.

9. Public transit. Always losing money and need a cash infusion. In most big cities, it is where you are most likely robbed. Lefties like them to save the planet mantra, but they mostly stink. Typical, socialist, claptrap. Also, in most cities, the biggest corruption leader.

10. Police and Firefighters. They to are government services, needed no matter what system you are under. But of course, the left is always messing with the police, telling them they are evil.

11. Military. That is funny, lol. Go up to a service man or woman and tell them they are a socialist, or belong to a socialist group, then come back, and let us know how long you were in the hospital..........which of course, you claim is Socialist too.

12. Labor protection. Now you know why everyone with a company is fleeing America. Thanks Socialists.

13. Food and Drug. FOOD-----> bang up job there, been watching the news lately on everyone getting sick at restaurants? DRUG-----> many countries are using the drugs WE developed to cure their people, and here we sit waiting for the red tape to clear. Typical socialist system.

14. EPA. Has taken over for congress, a bunch of unelected officials, who are not doing it for the enviroment, they are doing it for SOCIALISM. They are by far, the worst agency in the government, even worse than the IRS.

15 Financial regulations. Agreed! If it weren't for them and their regs, there never would have been a housing crisis and economic collapse. Socialism gave us the collapse by demanding loans to people who could not pay them back.

16. Transportation/safety regulations. Yep, agreed. Were it NOT for the Socialist CAFE standards, many of our friends, relatives, and neighbors would still be alive as they forced autos to shrink into tin cans.

17. Housing regulations. How many inspectors have contractors bought off? Want links, lol. Yep, good idea, but as usual the people put in charge line their pockets. SOCIALISM at its finest.

18. Energy regulations. You mean like the watchful eye they had on Enron, or are you talking about something else entirely? Rolling blackouts, lol.........when they had plenty of power. Bang up job Socialism did there, wouldn't you say!

19. Veterans protection/benefits. You really want to talk about that? Maybe you should listen to the debates to see what a bang up job that bastion of SOCIALISM is doing.

20. Homeland security. Thought they were private firms? Oh wait, I know, aren't those the people who convinced everyone to check little old ladies and kids instead of someone screaming Allah Akbar?

And you know what is evident in ALL of his examples? It is a FORCED contribution to support these entities, and when you discover they are stinking it out, you can't fire anyone because they are protected by a SOCIALIST, PUBLIC SECTOR, UNION! Hell, many municipalities are going with private garbage collection to escape these people.

Since NASA is gone, we will just put the military on the side with it. OK people, name me an agency of the Federal government that YOU think is doing a bang-up job! Post office anyone? Veterans administration? Medicare being constantly scammed? Social Security being scammed? Education department, lol? Obamacare administration? (whomever takes care of that) State department?

This is OUR future, this is SOCIALISM if we allow the Democrats to have their way! Your taxes will go up, and your services will go down.


Here's yet ANOTHER dumb right wingers who is TOTALLY unhappy with how the U.S. does anything. I certainly hope that these conservative types don't breed.
 
Despite all the nuttiness in the GOP, this is a big reason why I'm a Republican.

Many Democrats are feeling the love for socialism.

More than four in 10 Democrats say they have a favorable opinion of socialism, according to a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults released in January by data and research firm YouGov; this percentage is nearly identical to what the researchers found in May of last year. Meanwhile, only about one in three say they have an unfavorable opinion of the ideology. ...

On the whole, nearly half of all Americans say they have an unfavorable opinion of socialism, the YouGov survey revealed.​

42% of Democrats are in favor of socialism
Define socialism

Social Security?

Medicare?

Public schools?

Universal healthcare similar to Medicare?

Public roads paid for?

Tax deductions for employer's expense on employee health care costs?

Tax deductions for individual mortgages?

Caring for the poorest among us with children?

Funding hospitals?

Funding medical schools so we have more doctors?

Etc, etc, etc....?
 
He poison the well? But that was a government project, correct? Should have let a private company handle it.

"Brilliant" response...Here's just ONE example:

Big coal cooks up a toxic soup. After the coal is washed, a slurry of impurities, coal dust, and chemical agents used in the process remains. This liquid waste, called “coal sludge” or “slurry,” is often injected into abandoned underground mines, a practice that can lead to groundwater contamination. In one case affecting the citizens of Pike County, Kentucky, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency determined that coal slurry being dumped into a former deep mine by the Eastern Coal Corporation contained contaminants “which were likely to enter a public water supply…and may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health.”

You dumbfuck.
We have concepts from SEVERAL different economic/political/property theories. Does that mean we are Marxist, socialist, fascist AND capitalist?

Public roads. then why the hell are we having to pay a gas tax on top of our State taxes to use them. SS was sold as plan for Seniors to fall back on, not Socialism and it's sickening you all would USE our Seniors in this way. and funding for schools, I do believe again PEOPLE pay taxes for those in the STATES they live in. and the rest of those is made up BS, so you people CAN push this nonsense of how many things are Socialist AND is only done for your support of the party who wishes to implement it on us.

Yes, people do and will pay through taxes anything and everything that is socialism.....SS comes from taxing, Medicare from taxing, universal healthcare would come from taxing, roads from taxing, schools, from taxing, anything and everything the gvt provides is from taxing....

So maybe I don't understand what you mean?
 
Socialism -
1. a theory or system of social organization in which the means of production and distribution of goods are owned and controlled collectively or by the government.
2. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Our Constitution keeps back full socialism, as our government can't own businesses collectively.
But we are going the route of socialism because congress is controlling the production and distribution of goods.
Basically Socialism is redistribution of money.
The very thing our founders were so against.

Take a good look at our neighborhoods where redistribution of the collectives money has done to them.

It was only a matter of time.

The Dim theology is "free everything", so it's only a natural progression for Progressives.

In your eternal stupidity you finally hit upon a truism....YES we are socialist and have ALWAYS flirted with fascism (the combining of government with industries).....As far as the rest of what your learned form Sean Hannity (Marxism, etc.) you have no freaking idea of what you're spewing.

Typical right wing moron who just throws labels out there without ANY inkling of what they mean...only that some other idiot told them to use " bad words" to sound smarter.

The US can't own business, like GM? Or how about the Fed? LOL.

Hitler, the mad socialist, once stated, "Why nationalize industry when you can nationalize the people?"

He knew that all that needs be done is control industry instead of owning it in name, especially when private industry was so much better at running their businesses.

Socialism is simply throwing enough money around to retain political power.

Sean Hannity? lol
We are socially Marxist. Social concepts of sexuality, gender etc are being nipped in the bug. Which is Marxism 101.
Maybe here in a bit I will be called a LWNJ, GOP, liberal or commie. Dumbfuck
We aren't socialist. We practice socialist aspects. We also practice fascist aspects, capitalist aspects etc.
This is fuckin stupid.
 
You need to realize something OP.. Most democrats think of "socialism" as anything the government does, public schools, etc.. They are not referring to social ownership of production. The definition of socialism appears to have changed, important to know that.
