Are Americans Who Admire Socialism and Communism Miseducated or Stupid?

[danielpalos]

It takes a really dumbass moron to think that taking money from the people that earned it and giving it away to the greedy little shitheads that didn't earn it will somehow make a country more prosperous.

Just like the morons that thinks bigger government and higher taxes is the road to prosperity.

Of course these are mostly the same dumbasses that thought Obama was a good President, that Crooked Hillary was honest and qualified and have bought into this silly AGW scam hook, line and sinker so go figure. Not exactly the best and brightest, are they?

Can't finance our exorbitantly expensive superpower forever.

Can't finance a filthy immoral budget breaking debt ridden welfare state forever, can we Moon Bat?

Providing for the general welfare promotes a positive multiplier effect. Providing for the general warfare does not.

There are some things that are best left to individuals.

There are some things that are best done collectively - the strength of numbers - or economies of scale.

Finding the right balance between the two is a challenge for most modern nations.

In the United States, given our leading role in the Cold War - defending against Hyper-Socialism-Gone-Wrong...

Socialism is a dirty word...

Many beyond our borders to not understand how such a state of affairs could develop or continue to exist...

They, on the other hand, were not stuck providing the Shield for 50 years for others who did not want to fall under the heel of the Kremlin.

Socialism, in moderation, can be just the ticket to solve problem A or B or C...

But it won't solve D or E or F, and it easily goes astray if not periodically pruned (or have its ears boxed) to put it back in its place.

Fear-mongering about Socialism in the US is a residual vestige of the Cold War and seems to be slowly fading from the national consciousness.

The idea that the United States was somehow forced to protect the rest of the world from communism is just right wing bullshit. No one forced the USA to do this. Americans were positively rabid in their fear of communism in the 1950's and beyond. Now conservatives are rewriting history to make it sound like the USA was somehow forced or obligated to defend the rest of the world, instead of Americans wanted to hold back the advance of the communist agenda.

Not only did the US lead the defense against communism, they also equipped anti-communist forces throughout the world (some of which were much worse than the communists they oppposed), and made a lot of money for the military industrial complex in the process.

The whole point of your worldwide network of bases was to protect "American interests" throughout the world. "American interests" can best be described in American corporate property and infrastructure. Genocides and wars having nothing to do with communism or where American corporations didn't have a strong foothold, were utterly ignored.

A large part of the desire to contain the growth of communism in areas where American corporations were doing business was strictly commercial. The US was thrown out of Cuba, and many Americans owned property on the island which was then confiscated by the communists. And the American taxpayer paid for this.

So don't pretend that the US was "shielding the world from communism". They were protecting American property and American markets. American oil companies owned a lot of property in Kuwait. And I want to stress that while American corporations have been the primary beneficiaries of American foreign policy, they have not been told that THEY need to pay a larger percentage of the costs of this protection.

When the UN asked the USA to go into Bosnia to help stop the genocide there, Republicans were adamantly opposed to such intervention, saying the "US had no business interfering in a local, civil war". Republicans have never met a war they couldn't get behind. The operative phrase was "no business". This was a former communist country just emerging from behind the Iron Curtain. Of course the US had no business, or investment there. If you look at a history of American intervention in conflicts outside the US, you will note that the "American interests" being protected, are always the property owned by American corporations, and markets for Americans goods and services.

Don't try to pretend that Americans have been used and abused by their NATO Allies for our own benefit. We didn't demand that you build this huge military and protect us all. You did that all by yourselves, and for your own reasons.

Specifically who do believe should fill the vacuum left by the United States should we withdraw from our role of leading the World?

Failed former President Barack Hussein Obama proved, that by completely withdrawing from Iraq, ISIS and Russia filled the vacuum. President was incapable of doing anything to rectify the situation he had caused.

Why?

Who do you suggest occupy the vacuum you want to be left by the United States abandoning our responsibilities?

[whitehall]

Is it possible that the radical crazy left embraces socialism because they were disappointed about the last election? The answer is yes. The crazy left is misguided and stupid in the classic definition of the word.

For general welfare the oppressive fucking government should not steal my money and give it some worthless Negro or Illegal welfare queens. Maybe that is good for your general welfare since you are a pathetic low life piece of greedy shit but not mine or many tens of millions of other productive Americans.

You have a confused sicko idea of what general welfare means. When that Muslim asshole Obama gave away trillions it increased welfare, increased poverty, decreased family income, ran up the debt and produced dismal economic growth. Didn't work out very to improve anybody's general welfare, did it Moon Bat?

You stupid Moon Bats sure as hell weren't bitching about financing interventionism when your affirmative action Jungle Monkey President was escalating wars, bombing countries than did nothing to us and was putting us ten trillion in debt doing so.

Hmm.... I hate to admit it, but that might be a smart move. Instead of bombing terrorist nations with drones, we could just send them food stamps. Once we get them all dependent on our "generosity", we can fuck them around just like we do the poor people here!

Capitalism has a natural rate of unemployment.

And what exactly do you think is transpiring under our capitalist system if not the consolidation of wealth and power?

Even you don't believe that line. You just want to bicker. Hmmm...doesn't that mean you're a troll?

Why wouldn't I believe it?
As I understand it the wealth gap is increasing and has been for some time.

Would that 40% and part of the 20% be those who pay no income taxes?

I'm sure you would agree that Bill Gates, along with numerous other individuals are multi-billionaires.

Had they NOT created their empires, how much bigger would your share be in your cute graph?

Do you know what the phrase "growing the pie" means?

Microsoft and other US manufacturers grew the Chinese pie. It is the reason that the 40% don't pay income taxes in America and that China is overtaking the US.
Adam Smith couldn't have been more wrong about capitalists loyalty to their countries. Marx got it exactly right.
