Jim Carrey tells Democrats: ‘We have to say yes to socialism’

[Pogo]

Socialism and communism are like noxious weeds and should be eradicated and pulled out by the roots.

That's evil stuff Hoss.

So ---- noxious socialism is it? Let's see you burn your Medicare card and send your social security deposits back.

Do you know people who have worked have had Social Security taken out of their checks?

Do,.do you know why?

Can you render that in, say, English?

 

[Pogo]

Has any stupid obnoxious RICH hollywood loser ever voluntarily paid more taxes?

Who?

When?

Here is the question that the socialists on this board (all of them call themselves "democratic socialists" lol) ever answered if socialism was so great why so many middle class and poor people are so desperate to get here?

Are they?

Seems to me I remember Donald Rump calling for more immigration from Norway (you know, white people), and Norwegians said, "Nei, takk". They're not interested.

That was not what happened. Find the "any key" button yet? You mindless fool

 

[whitehall]

Born in Canada. Did he ever become a U.S. citizen? Since Carrey's last couple of movies were such flops maybe socialism is appealing.

 

[Pogo]

Nor does most of the country.The Right still hasn't quite figured out that (a) this all lies on a continuum, and (b) the word "socialism" no longer scares people, partially because the Right has so over-used it..

`
The anachronistic far right still equates socialism with communism and fascism.
`

And stupid fucking moronic white rich leftists cannot see that socialism morphs into totalitarianism, which inevitably morphs into feudalism.

You don't get shit you stupid fucking ignorant ass.

Still waiting for one loser on the left to explain to all of us why so many are so desperate to get here from those socialist paradises.

Go ahead, you miserable fucking hack.

Try explaining it.

Yep, there it is again --- feudal Norway. Totalitarian hell. Even as we speak they're jumping on rafts heading southwest to immigrate, with of course a quick stop in Greenland to go shopping.

Does your mother know you talk like that? Calm down. Sheesh!

[Pogo]

So when a socialist says “we need more socialism” you think it is right wingers overusing the word socialist ?

Well, no, in that instance it's being used by a socialist. Obviously.

It's the fact that you folks scream SOCIALISM at pretty much everything that moves, just like the Regressive Left screams RACISM at everything that moves.

Always amusing to see how similar the two ends can be in their behaviors.
.

Which is more correct:

Calling it racism if a cop shoots a thug pointing a gun at him....or a person commenting on the government takeover of GM and Chrysler calling it Socialism?

Is "thug" a race now?

Still waiting for you to explain why you can't face the term "authoritarian".

Are you waiting for permission from the authorities?

`I have no problem with a balance of capitalism and socialism.`

Nor does most of the country.

Basically, if everything is socialism, then nothing is socialism.

So ---- noxious socialism is it? Let's see you burn your Medicare card and send your social security deposits back.

I have been FORCED to accept Medicare insurance coverage just a month ago, a program Democrats created back in the 1960's. They are automatically deducting the monthly premium for my paycheck.

Employer/employee pay the tax for the benefit, which the Democrats pass in 1935. It is forced on me to comply despite that I have two far better retirement programs (One is the State which was also forced on me, but much better managed) to fall on when I reach the minimum age 62.

Those two programs are FORCED on people, which is what Socialism is really about, to have control over the lemming populace.

Make a point.

My point is one is an example of a strategy of propaganda being used to tighten up the base causing divisions through cohersion (fraud) and the other is simply independent thinkers facing reality.

Independent thinkers?

Who would that be?

Jim Carrey tells Democrats: ‘We have to say yes to socialism’

Carrey likened President Trump to a used-car salesman and urged Democrats to embrace socialism.

Carrey said Republicans were merely trying to scare people when warning the United States would end up like Venezuela with the word “socialism."

We allow states to be as socialist as they want. We can see how well socialism is working in CA. The middle class is fleeing and their tax base is leaving with them. CA has the highest poverty rate. Maybe we should allow famous multi-millionaire socialist to donate their money to the IRS, or make them pay a special socialist tax rate.

When old jimmy gives 90% of his income to the government, then I will take him seriously......as a 1% of the 1%, he will be one of the first people the socialists toss in prison....

Check out the racists always bringing up how everything is white people's fault always bringing up the only countries with higher density of white people. Notice how these racists never bring up Mali, Burundi, Nigeria, Venezuela, Liberia, Turkey etc as great successes in "socialism."


Sorry Bernie Bros But Nordic Countries Are Not Socialist
The myth of Nordic socialism is partially created by a confusion between socialism, meaning government exerting control or ownership of businesses, and the welfare state in the form of government-provided social safety net programs. However, the left’s embrace of socialism is not merely a case of redefining a word. Simply look at the long-running affinity of leftists with socialist dictators in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela for proof many on the left long for real socialism.

To the extent that the left wants to point to an example of successful socialism, not just generous welfare states, the Nordic countries are actually a poor case to cite. Regardless of the perception, in reality the Nordic countries practice mostly free market economics paired with high taxes exchanged for generous government entitlement programs.

A third example of Nordic commitment to free markets can be found in Sweden which has complete school choice. The government provides families with vouchers for each child. These vouchers can be used to attend regular public schools, government-run charter schools, or private, for-profit schools. Clearly, the use of government funds to pay for private, for-profit schools is the opposite of socialism.

We can also confirm these isolated facts by looking at a comprehensive measure of capitalism relative to socialism. The Fraser Institute, a Vancouver-based, pro-free market, think tank, compiles a worldwide ranking of countries called the economic freedom index. Its website explains that its ranking “is an effort to identify how closely the institutions and policies of a country correspond with a limited government ideal, where the government protects property rights and arranges for the provision of a limited set of “public goods” such as national defense and access to money of sound value, but little beyond these core functions.” Clearly, a socialist country should perform poorly in any ranking based on these principles.

What we find, however, is the Nordic countries rank quite high on this index of economic freedom. In fact, while Hong Kong and Singapore top the list and the U.S. ranks 12th, we can find the Nordic countries in quite respectable rankings. Denmark ranks 15, Finland 17, Norway 25, and Sweden 27. In terms of numerical scores, Sweden is only 5% lower than the U.S. For further comparison, South Korea and Japan, both considered fairly pro-free market, rank 32 and 39, respectively.

Socialism can take the form of government controlling or interfering with free markets, nationalizing industries, and subsidizing favored ones (green energy, anyone?). The Nordic countries don’t actually do much of those things. Yes, they offer government-paid healthcare, in some cases tuition-free university educations, and rather generous social safety nets, all financed with high taxes. However, it is possible to do these things without interfering in the private sector more than required. It is allowing businesses to be productive that produces the high corporate and personal incomes that support the tax collections making the government benefits feasible. The Nordic countries are smart enough not to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.



First, it is worth noting that the Nordic counties were economic successes before they built their welfare states. Those productive economies, generating good incomes for their workers, allowed the governments to raise the tax revenue needed to pay for the social benefits. It was not the government benefits that created wealth, but wealth that allowed the luxury of such generous government programs.

Second, as evidence of the lack of government interference in business affairs, there is the fact that none of these countries have minimum wage laws. Unions are reasonably powerful in many industries and negotiate contracts, but the government does nothing to ensure any particular outcome from those negotiations. Workers are paid what they are worth, not based on government’s perception of what is fair.

------------------------------------------


Not only do American left wing morons (dumbest people on earth, especially the white left wing females) keep bringing up the Nordic countries as the socialists successes (predictable as hell with the losers) but they show their stupidity by doing it.

There are several examples of people who aren't:

• Never Trumpers
• Liberal elitists
• People who actually still believe that the media is honest
• People who supported Ted Cruz and feel cheated
• People who still admire Obama and Hillary

"Tolerance and Apathy are the last virtues of a dying society."
~Aristotle

True enough quote. It is also true that the tolerant and apathetic ones are us conservatives. Therefore, we deserve this utter bullshit we are seeing in our country, as we see these pissants take over our free market system that has made us the envy of the world.

 

[whitehall]

It's strange how the hypocrite left is led around by the nose these days. A couple of years ago "big oil" was considered to be the enemy of civilization and today the ignorant left holds Norway up as the ideal country when it's economy depends on exploiting the North Sea oil fields.
