My socialist hell

[TheGreenHornet]

People like free stuff and lots of people get free stuff......the problem with socialism....is simply that if you give too many people free stuff then it creates a scenario of people not wanting to work or produce the wealth that allows free stuff....aka taking from those who have worked hard for what they have and give it to those who do not work and or do not want to work.

The colonists had that problem when they arrived on these shores...so they instituted a rule...he who does not work.....does not eat.

The pilgrims signed the "Mayflower compact" in which they agreed to share EVERYTHING (socialism).

By the end of the first winter, over half of them were dead (including Bradfords wife).

William Bradford knew he had to make a change...he instituted what we call today "capitalism".

By the end of the first season they had so much, they could pay off all their loans for the trip to the new world...live comfortably...trade with the indians...and even invite the indians to a feast of giving thanks for the bounty they had received.

This is the kind of stupidity that defines this board.

Anyone know of a board that has more intelligent posters and is not too prone to ban?

This place is good in the sense they let one pretty much say just about anything but tooooooo many stooopids on here....kinda like a fly in the soup.

I propose we all get paid for being on the internet. Send out the socialist checks.

Actually, the problem the Colonists had was that they were expected to make money for the British East India Company before they could eat. Then the Indians were kind enough to show them how to actually grow food here, and they got genocided for their troubles.

To the point... if most of us got what we produced, we'd be doing very well. The problem is we all work very hard to make the One Percent Rich, and what you whine about is just the pittance we spend to keep the 99% from revolting... which they would if you cut off the mere 4% of the economy we spend on Entitlements and social programs.

Rush Limbaugh's "True Story of Thanksgiving" is a lie-filled load of stuffing that turns villains into victims

Limbaugh is indeed right that the Pilgrims collectively owned their property, in a system Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford called the "common course." Yet, in her thorough debunking of the myth in 2010, New York Times correspondent Kate Zernike pointed out that "The arrangement did not produce famine. If it had, Bradford would not have declared the three days of sport and feasting in 1621 that became known as the first Thanksgiving."

That is to say, the first Thanksgiving was held when the common course was still being practiced, when the Pilgrims, according to Limbaugh, were still socialists.

Historian Richard Pickering, a leading expert on the Pilgrims, explains that, when the common course was abolished, it was not abolished because it did not work -- it actually worked just fine -- but rather because the colonists simply did not like it. Pickering said "there was griping and groaning," and, as Zernike explained, "this grumbling had more to do with the fact that the Plymouth colony was bringing together settlers from all over England, at a time when most people never moved more than 10 miles from home. They spoke different dialects and had different methods of farming, and looked upon each other with great wariness."

Moreover, the reason the Pilgrims later became more prosperous was not because they became capitalists, but rather because they had learned how to better farm the new crops in the new soil on the new lands they had only just moved to a few years before.

Yeah, you would get an unlimited supply of Butt plugs, no?


Bullshit socialism failed in America because of lazy fucks like you who pretended to work. The colonists quickly abandoned that idea.

Again, if we were living in the 17th century and you got the history right, you might have a point.
