Democrats, can you give me a critique on socialism? Whats wrong with it?
Democrats continually assert they're against socialism and they're really capitalists and they're just not moonbat crazy like the free market guys.
So I'm wondering what democrats find so unappealing about socialism, which social or socioeconomic byproducts of the theory do you find oppressive..
Most of us know why some features of modern industrialized societies lend themselves to more efficacious approaches under a "socialized" methodology. The admixture of socialized equal-treatment approaches (to education, health care, care for the elederly, for examples), only work when the capitalist free market approaches to OTHER areas of society are encouraged and rewarded for being in place. Private enterprise is the engint that feeds our demands for efficiency and equanimity in treatment of children, the poor, elderly, and the disabled.
A productive and advancing society CANNOT survive and thrive under a strictly socialist approach. Russia and Cuba have taught us that by example in the last 50-100 years.
We are smarter than Republicans and libertarians make us out to be, we know that we must employ "socialist" approaches to problem-solving ONLY when capitalist approaches are not working or are less efficient. A major area of this nexus is health care, where people would literally and needlessly die or become disabled were we not able to afford to care for their medical needs. The questions in health care all center around how to most efficiently distribute the services to the most number of people without leaving some people out and without overburdening others with excess costs.
Good post..
Socialism fails tho....
