Republicans have this strange double speak about socialism and how it is defined

[Dragonlady]

Scandinavian countries are homogenous in race and taught to work to contribute to the social safety net from birth.

Not entitled taking from the safety net provided by the working hands of others as in this country.

Agreed.

Having a shared identity is the only way to maintain a sustainable social safety net.

And a social safety net is NOT socialism.

.

I thought you were smarter than this. A social safety net is the DEFINITION of socialism Free market capitalism requires the abolition of all social safety net programs as a drag on capitalism.

Wrong. Government control of productive enterprises is socialism.

No it's not, but keep trying.

 

[francoHFW]

Socialism only benefits those in charge and allows them to control the rest of the population. Those in power and those who help them keep power the police and military get the rewards the rest of the population gets subjugated.

That's communism. Socialism is like Canada is that really scary too? They have all the benefits and safety nets.

On the one hand, a liberal would say to a republican that we know socialism works because the Scandinavian countries' brand of socialism works. Repubs then say "those aren't socialist countries! They have private economies"

Um okay. They are socialist countries even though they have private economies. Those concepts don't have to be conflicting. They get that, right?

However, republicans will call those nations socialist depending on the context of the conversation.

A republican will say in a different conversation that Bernie shouldn't be elected because he is a dirty socialist who will turn the US into Venezuela. A liberal defending Bernie Sanders will say "No, Bernie doesn't want to end the private market system. He just wants to institute socialist policies that would require the population at large to benefit from the current overall system that we have. He also thinks healthcare and other critical institutions should be socialized or remain socialized. The Scandinavian nations have these same policies"......in response the republican says "THAT'S JUST LIKE VENEZUELA!"

No, it isn't.

No, Comrade Billy, they aren't socialist countries and it isn't normal Americans who try to put lipstick on that "free" stuff pig but rather life's losers who just can't come to grips with what it is and how it destroys economies and people:

so·cial·ism
/ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/
noun

1. a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
   • (in Marxist theory) a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of Communism.

Lol okay if they are not socialist and Bernie is modeling their policies how is Bernie a socialist?

Ask Bernie. He proudly admits he's a lifelong socialist. I just provided you with the dictionary definition that you so regularly and adamantly reject.

Thing is socialism is a pig and the lipstick you liberally apply doesn't change that.

Lol what is that source even from? Granted Marxism is a form of socialism, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t different types. You do get that right? I love how your definition even includes wording about community ownership. Tax payers are that community.

Americans build our private assets of production, Comrade Billy, not the community, and it's those builders who create the jobs and wealth that have made our economy the envy of every socialist shithole - no matter what you call them - on the planet.

The community funds programs with revenue that they own and utilize. That’s socialism.

There you go again, wanting to force something on people you disagree with. You do realize those socialist entitlement programs you like so much only suit progressives.
They certainly are not in the best interest of conservatives. See that’s the difference between a control freak like you and someone like me. I don’t give a shit what you want, you can be all the socialist you want to be.
I’m not trying to convert you, all I’m saying is your socialist entitlement programs are not in the best interest of millions of conservatives.

It does not require our participation to be part of your collective...

So as far as being part of your village?… No thanks

 

[anotherlife]

Scandinavian countries have like an aggregate 90 % tax burden on everybody. Basically Scandinavian socialism is like Soviet sicialism only without the illusion that the state will give something back to you.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

So you are a racist who believes certain races are inferior? Got it.

From now on, you don't even need to post anything. We will just assume that you will call someone a racist.

Is that it, paying taxes makes us Socialist? So you want to claim this makes us some what Socialist? Our economy is fueled under Capitalist practices, our founders fought to leave abusive taxes, if you're dumb enough to donate more of your income to the Federal Government, knock yourself out, but remember, if you really contribute as you claim and pay income taxes, don't get used to your current environment. I suspect you're clueless or you leach off the government tit...

No, it isn't.

Until this unfair monetary system is fixed, nothing is going to help anyone that isn't part of the .00001 percent and that is a fact. Taxing at a higher rate to steal more fiat currency that loses value every single year to fund social programs cannot last and it kills incentive for those that DO work to continue doing so.
