Cons overuse “socialism “ so much that it has lost all meaning

[Weatherman2020]

on the daily there’s a bunch of threads here about “socialism “. Almost now of them have to deal with true socialism . Instead it becomes a slur for somthing they don’t like .

When confronted , cons can’t even define the word . Or even give coherent examples .

So I ask. What is “socialism”? . And what are examples of socialism in the US ?

Everything about the Lefts agenda is socialism, how can it be overused?

And why are you terrified of the label?

Never mind, we know.

Thanks for proving my point .

If conservatives aren’t exhibiting their ignorance as to what ‘socialism’ actually is, they lying about ‘socialism’ – such as the lie that Democrats are ‘socialists,’ or the lie that Democrats advocate for ‘socialism,’ neither of which couldn’t be further from the truth.

But they do. What part are you confused about?

Then you don't know what socialism is, if you really believe that.

Just because a specific group of people supposedly can't define it, that doesn't mean it has lost all meaning. Of course, the "left" attempts to disassociate with their failures so often that you're really not helping to make it easily definable. For example, claiming Venezuela is something oxymoronic, like "State Capitalist" when it's applied Socialism, or claiming that Soviet Russia was "Communist" when it was applied Socialism. The same can be said for Nazi Germany, Maoist China, and Fascist Italy.

Socialism is Social Control of the means of production, something all of the above-mentioned Governments had in common.

American Heritage Dictionary:

Socialism n. A system or theory of social organization which the producers posses both political power and production and distribution means

You mean like Exxon-Mobil?
Or Fox News?
Or Koch Industries?
Or The Federalist Society?
Or Northrup-Grumann?
Or E. I. Dupont?
Or Goldmann-Sachs?
Or Trump Industries?

You mean like that?

I feel as though the way you're trying to define it is purely word salad. The term comes from "Social", which refers to the type of control it has over the means of production, which would be cooperative, public, common, or citizen ownership of the means of production. All of these terms, however, come down to State Ownership since they're a monopoly on arbitration, putting themselves over the people and business as a whole. The people would be voting for the ruler who makes all of the decisions while trying to convince the people that it's what they want.

You see, what we have in America isn't capitalism, either, if that's the argument you're attempting to make. It thoroughly fits the definition of a Fascistic Corporatist State. If it makes you happy, though, I will freely state that America is power-walking towards Socialism with every passing week. You can watch it happen if you check the Federal Register.

The exact word for word definition from the dictionary isn't word salad. The OP is quite correct in their premise of the rights use of the word, and obvious ignorance as to what it really means.

To the right, being called out for theft and fraud is promoting socialism.

I suppose that would depend on how many dictionary definitions you have to cast aside before settling on one that suits your narrative, wouldn't it? Even breaking down the word and the historical application fits my given explanation.

I think that if you have to perform mental gymnastics and bend the truth in order to advocate for an economic structure, you're probably advocating for the wrong one.

You're not even trying to prove a point, you're just trying to be obstinate. The US is not economically free nor capitalist, so I agree with what you're trying to tell me by beating around the bush, but you're literally wrong about what Socialism is. You're just making yourself look like an illiterate fopdoodle.

There is some truth to that. Like Liberals using the term racist so much its losing its meaning as well.

Providing assistance to Capitalists is PATRIOTISM
Providing assistance to the people is SOCIALISM

The opposite is true. It’s “We the people “ not “We the corporations “.

Thanks for the definition. Now how does that apply to what Democrats are pushing for ? Gun control is socialism ? Health care safety nets is socialism?

"Gun control" (i.e. ban and confiscation) is a must, or socialism cannot thrive. People with a choice will resist socialism with violence if necessary. "Gun control" removes the ability to resist.

I want equality and acceptance for gays.
That is NOT socialism.

I want NO RELIGIOUS LAWS!
That is NOT socialism.

I want a SECULAR GOVERNMENT
that is NOT socialism.

I want women to have the right to choose
that is NOT socialism.

I want equality and acceptance for minorities
that is NOT socialism.

SOCIALISM is;
1. conservatives over eating fatty foods, drinking too much alcohol, smoking cigarettes, refusing to diet and exercise, becoming massively obese, developing heart and lung and kidney and back and leg problems and going off to the doctors every other day and consuming vast quantities of medicines to "fix" the ailments at EVERYONE ELSES EXPENSE! medicare, medicaid, insurance.....a complete lack of personal responsibility that other people have to pay for.


2. football stadiums being built at tax payer expense so conservatives can watch football.

3. tax breaks for families so conservatives can make single people and homosexuals pay MORE in taxes to support conservative families!

With the Right Wing, it is about the Profit not the People.

Tax Cut economics are socialism; a redistribution of wealth that benefits the rich, the most.

What's that supposed to mean?

I work hard for the people, not profit? Fuck that.

I don't think conservatives are being vague about their dislike of creating 'safety nets' for people who don't need them with taxpayer money. You can call it whatever you want, it is just wrong. I think Republicans have been consistent with this belief. I'm not going to go into the word salad until you have a term for taking other people's money that you can sell to people. It must take a lot of Kool Aid to actually believe that stuff.

Please don't go there, you know better. A society based on self interest is not the same as throwing retired people to the wolves. If you are going to sell a utopia where everybody works for someone else, at least be honest about it.

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I agree. Just like the left has done to the word racism

Ummm no. I can give you all kinds of examples of racism .

The Oscars are racist!!!!

A Charlie Brown Christmas is racist!!!

Wanting to stop illegal immigration is racist!!!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is racist!!!

Voter ID is racist!!!

Dunkirk is racist!!!

Dr Seuss is racist!!!

Criticism of Antifa or BLM is racist!!!

The Electoral College is racist!!!

Algebra and geometry are racist!!!!

Farmers Markets are racist!!!

a general tax on employers would be less intrusive than our current regime.

I already have my argument. It is about improving the efficiency of our economy by solving for Capitalism's natural rate of unemployment in a market friendly manner via unemployment compensation. The infrastructure already exists. It is much more cost effective than means tested welfare can ever be.

How about if we start by noting the fact that a social safety net is not the same thing as socialism.

Well that depends how people define “socialism “ now does it? I’d say 90% of cons would consider that socialism .
