There are elements of "socialism" in America. Obviously. Always have been, always will be.
The question is the degree. Where we exist on the overall spectrum.
You're not "not socialist" one day, then "socialist" the next.
Conservatives are convincing people that "socialism" is good by attacking "socialist" elements that people like.
How in the world do they not see this?
.
"Socialism" is at the root of our calling ourselves UNITED States......
Good grief
Did you hear the statement from one of these people that Socialists are happier than Americans? Notice, they didn't say why, or how that is determined Sassy, lol.
How was America such evil to the USSR for sooooo long? Simple, the government controlled the press. It is said with much logic that "Glasnost" came to be with the advent of the internet. The government could not control as easy what the people seen, and they then seen America.
Iran has learned this, which is why besides our resident, Iranian, propagandist Dani, I ran controls what their people see.
So, how do these socialist countries in Europe really live? Is it true what these lefties say? They live like we do, (regular citizens)and have all the important things in life free? How big is the space they live in with their families? Do they own their own homes? How big is the family car? What do they pay to fuel it? Is their transportation mode more PUBLIC, or personal? How about the price of goods?
You see, debating which system is better without INFORMING the people of the "give and take," is no more than a red herring. Telling people what they will get for free, WITHOUT telling them how much MORE everything else will cost so as the government can siphon off the excess to pay for the supposed FREE stuff, is no debate at all. All it is is one side holding up shiny objects and proclaiming, "look at this, and ignore everything else."
I just used one example, the price of gasoline, but if you delve into the living space per person alone, Americans would flip them the fickle, finger, of fate!
Don't let these clowns get away with it. They want to show shiny objects, fine. Show everyone what the downside is by cost. Not hard, it is everywhere, lol.
