Liberal Communism On Display

[PoliticalChic]

As the saying goes...'If it sounds too good to be true...' well, you know.


But those who have been programmed to
a. think of themselves as victims
b. feel that life owes them
c. are will to steal from others

...i.e., reliable Democrat voters

...will be drooling when they read this simpleton's demands for redistribution of wealth.

1. "Mark Zuckerberg called for exploring universal basic income in his Harvard graduation speech.
“We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try new things.”
...a proposal that the government provides every citizen a certain baseline amount of money, no strings attached.

2. ....by providing everyone a safety net of a certain amount of guaranteed money regardless of their employment status And advocates argue a basic income would be generally more efficient than the current plethora of benefit programs the government currently administers to address poverty.
Mark Zuckerberg called for exploring universal basic income in his Harvard graduation speech. Here’s what that means.



"Explore it"?????
It has been done, and was a total disaster


3. Earlier Bolsheviks tried it....and had to kill over 100 million human beings to impose the idea...and it still failed.


4. The government conducted a study, 1971-1978 known as the Seattle-Denver Income Maintenance Experiment, or SIME-DIME, in which low income families were give a guaranteed income, a welfare package with everything liberal policy makers could hope for. Result: for every dollar of extra welfare given, low income recipients reduced their labor by 80 cents. http://www.policyarchive.org/handle/10207/bitstreams/12794.pdf
[The results for husbands show that the combination of negative income tax plans tested in SIME/DIME — which, as already mentioned, represents on average a relatively generous cash transfer program with a guarantee of 115% of the poverty line and a tax rate of 50% — has a significant negative effect on hours worked per year. Overview of the Final Report of the Seattle-Denver Income Maintenance Experiment]

a. Further results: dissolution of families: “This conclusion was unambiguously unfavorable to advocates of a negative income tax that would cover married couples, for two important reasons. First, increased marital breakups among the poor would increase the numbers on welfare and the amount of transfer payments, principally because the separated wife and children would receive higher transfer payments.

Second, marital dissolutions and the usual accompanying absence of fathers from households with children are generally considered unfavorable outcomes regardless of whether or not the welfare rolls increase.” http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/conf/conf30/conf30c.pdf

b. “When families received guaranteed income at 90% of the poverty level, there was a 43% increase in black family dissolution and a 63% increase in white family dissolution. At 125% of the poverty levels, dissolutions were 75% and 40%.” Robert B. Carleson, “Government Is The Problem,” p. 57.




But....Democrats will hold out some fable and fools will buy it like it was on sale.

It was Thomas Paine who first proposed the idea of a guaranteed minimum income. Long before the concept of communism existed.

So it's no, it's not a communist concept. It's an American concept.

The justification was that natural resources are owned equally by all humanity, so those that use natural resources for profit should pay everyone else for the use.

Furthermore, under communist rule everyone is required to work that can work. Government controls the jobs. There was no welfare in the Soviet Union.

Also, if a universal guaranteed income provided everyone "a certain amount of guaranteed money regardless of their employment status", there would be no incentive for families to break up. They'd receive the same income regardless of their family associations.

The real reason why a guaranteed minimum income would not work is that there would be a period of massive inflation that would effectively nullify the guaranteed minimum income. You can bet that the cost of rent, food, clothing and other essentials would jump - so all that money would end up going to the wealthy anyway.

"So it's no, it's not a communist concept. It's an American concept."

Really, you imbecile?

Sooooo, Karl Marx was an American????


You're a government school grad, huh?

Can you read?

Thomas Paine lived ~100 years before Marx.

Besides, though it's apparently beyond your reading comprehension, your own quote of Marx says:

"From each according to his ability"

That means that everyone that can work does work.

Did you get passed the third grade? I doubt your reading comprehension is even that good.

Can't you learn???


Here.....let's see if you can:

Which represents the Americanism?


a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.


or


b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.

What represents Americanism:

1. PoliticalChic's delusions?

2. The writings of Thomas Paine?

Why your fear of answering this simple query?

The answer is that both a. and b. are a product of your delusions. Neither represents Americanism. Any other stupid questions?

So it seems that you're all hot on Marx, Rand and a slew of other fascist and communist philosophers, but not so hot on American political philosophers.

You wouldn't be posting from Brighton Beach, would you comrade?

It is not.

a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.

'The excesses of the European versions of fascism were mitigated by the specific history and culture of America, Jeffersonian individualism, heterogeneity of the population, but the central theme is still an all-encompassing state that centralizes power to perfect human nature by controlling every aspect of life., albeit at the loss of what had hitherfore been accepted as ‘inalienable human rights.’

I really get a kick out of you Leftist dolts.....I prove you are a communist, collectivist, and your attempt to hide is 'you...you....communist you!!!!'

Clearly, I'm American, and believe in the individual, not the collective.

As Thoreau wrote in On the duty of Civil Disobedience: “ There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all of its own power and authority are derived.”



That's American.



And this represents you and the other government school grads:

'Even if one does not consider the liberal administrations of the recent past fascist, Mr. Goldberg is correct to see the liberalism of today to be state worship, which built upon the original statist liberalism of the Wilson administration.
Mr. Goldberg has, unlike the leftists who yell the term, made the strongest possible case that Americans today live in a soft form of fascism, a statist liberal society whose citizens are unaware of the roots of ideas they hold.' America's 'Fascist Moment' - The New York Sun A review of Liberal Fascism


See...You: "...unlike the leftists who yell the term, made the strongest possible case that Americans today live in a soft form of fascism,..."
You can claim your title: communist, liberal, fascist, Nazi, Progressive, socialist....all are totalitarian.

Not I.



BTW....my education is Ivy League...

...how about yours?

Give it up.

If you have an Ivy league education, it's proof that Ivy league schools ain't what they used to be. All you can do is regurgitate other peoples ideas...not an individual thought in your head. I guess that's why you post so many quotes.

Amazing that you consider yourself an individualist!

Soooo....we agree that you agree with Zuckerberg, and, therefore are a collectivist/statist/communist?

Excellent.

"Strong Link Found Between Supporting Communism And Never Once Having Opened A History Book
August 15th, 2017

CAMBRIDGE, MA—A study performed by researchers at Harvard University found a strong link between supporting the idea of communism and never once having even briefly opened a history book, sources confirmed Tuesday.

The study appears to imply that would-be communists are deterred from supporting the political theory the moment they encounter any real-life examples of communism in world history and read about the tens of millions of people murdered or slaughtered under communist rulers.

“We found that of the people who advocate communism today, over 97% slept all the way through each of their history classes in elementary school, high school, and college,” head researcher Todd Devlin said in a statement accompanying the release of the study’s findings. “Without exception, not a single supporter of communism in the study had ever opened any kind of history textbook or scholarly work covering the 20th century.”

“They do occasionally catch a special on Nazis on the History Channel, but usually turn it off before the piece begins to break down the horrific regimes of Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao,” the paper continued.

The study also found that the majority of modern communists who do happen across a stray piece of information showing the horrors and atrocities of real-life communism are able to quickly rationalize the historical facts away by labeling those examples “not real communism.”

Second, marital dissolutions and the usual accompanying absence of fathers from households with children are generally considered unfavorable outcomes regardless of whether or not the welfare rolls increase.” http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/conf/conf30/conf30c.pdf

b. “When families received guaranteed income at 90% of the poverty level, there was a 43% increase in black family dissolution and a 63% increase in white family dissolution. At 125% of the poverty levels, dissolutions were 75% and 40%.” Robert B. Carleson, “Government Is The Problem,” p. 57.




But....Democrats will hold out some fable and fools will buy it like it was on sale.

That's a winner.
