Cherry-picking examples of socialist governments failing does not prove the concept is flawed

Socialism is a very broad term. To simplify the definition, it is a concept that involves the people funding (tax revenue) and owning (utilizing) government services. This is why every nation on earth - including the US - has a socialist backbone. Any service the government provides that’s funded by tax revenue and is utilized by the people is socialism.
Wrong!

In socialist countries, the means of the production and distribution of goods is owned by the state.

There are no Nordic country's that are socialist.
we have Hoover Dam and agricultural price supports.
 
simply gambling for more customers is not a form of caring.
Forced charity is not a form of caring either.
it does solve the problem. unlike capitalism.
Give me ONE SINGLE example of it fixing the “problem.” ONE.

Socialism has NEVER and will never solve the alleged problem.
Government IS socialism. The Romans Proved, Government solves problems, not the private sector.

The Roman empire crashed under the government like nothing we have seen before.

Yes, a other example of failed socialism.

Their aqueducts and roads are still with us. No private contracting there.

As are the ruins of their empire.

Dumbass it wasn't a success.

Crazy immigration policies played a big part.

Nobody denies that government has a purpose in our lives, dan.

But, the the purpose of our lives is not government.

I would ask if you see the difference, but I already know the answer.

how many years later? apples and oranges. that you even compare it, shows you have no argument, only special pleading.

Lousy public policy was the problem. Lousy, overpaid management. They merely needed a better visa system. They could have built aqueducts and roads to new colonia on the opposite side of the empire, instead of making like useless right wingers with only bigotry and no solutions.

why whine about government border controls, if you are not government and not the purpose of your life?

One purpose of our lives is to keep the government out of our lives.

That doesn't quite work out if bunch of big government advocates are let in.

the right wing wants more government.
 
tax cuts for the Rich and cuts to social services for the poor?
Translation: taking less money from some at gunpoint to give to others.

Anyone but government doing this would called a thief.
projecting much, right wingers. tax cut economics is simple, income redistribution.
Left Wingers raise taxes to give hand outs and lower educational expectations.
A 30 is a passing grade on a NYS math regent.
we simply understand economics better. a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage means Labor will be able to pay more in taxes and create more in demand; that means, growing our economy, as we must.


With what jobs?

What I would like to ask you Billy is what part of our socialist country is working well? Medicare? VA? Social Security, HUD, what????

They are all either going broke or crushing budgets to keep them alive. It's like what Margret Thatcher once said, Socialism is a great form of governance until you run out of other people's money.

Tax the top 1% and all of these problems go away. These people have more than enough money anyway. One less Rembrandt to bid on at Sothebys. so what??

But these people are so happy? Well, I'm sure some are. If you rob Peter to pay Paul, the Paul's of your society generally have no objection.

They are happy because all of the things that are threats to their success and happiness are removed. No worry's mate.


How are you going to tax them? You act like they get a payroll check.

Plenty of jobs. The minimum wage is still, the minimum wage.

unemployment compensation simply for being unemployed. it really is, that simple.

Well, one of the few things government is supposed to do is keep Mexican filth from invading and destroying our economy.
just more Government; i got it. why take the right wing seriously, with their alleged "intelligence".
