Socialism Gets Tested

[The Rabbi]

Bernie Sanders passionately believes in Socialism and is explicitly trying to sell it to the American People. No bullshit. Not trying to hide.

Contrast that with the pussies hiding Socialism and pretending their platform is something else.

I could not disagree more with Sanders but respect him 100 percent for being up front and honest on where he stands. For this, I would like to see a Sanders vs. Trump Election in '16 so that we can get honest, passionate, debates from two distinct sides. Instead, we will get Hillary vs. Jeb. Hillary will try and show all of the white guy swing voters in Iowa that she is for small business and Jeb will be dancing on egg shells hoping blacks don't call him racist and that women refrain from saying he is leading the faux war on women.

Part of Sanders' appeal is that he really believes the bullshit he's saying. He is honest and upfront about turning America into some version of France. The fact that he is wrong on every issue is no impediment. He is personally honest and has integrity and thus a real contrast to Hillary Two-devices Clinton.

"The fact that he is wrong on every issue is no impediment."

Actually, he's right on one....


Bernie Sanders favors " American support for Israel and Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip."

...“you have situation where Hamas is sending missiles into Israel,” adding that those rockets are often originating from populated areas."

Even a blind pig. I'll attribute that one to Bernie being Jewish. a fact not brought out often here. Yet.

Of course he believes it...they all do. That is the nature of brainwashing. Their absolute belief is how they justify the dishonesty, the lies, the criminal actions...they BELIEVE they're right, and therefore should get a pass when they lie and break the law...and tear up the constitution.

Another interesting tidbit....

Bernie Sanders went to the local high school here in Brooklyn, James Madison High School

So did Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Senator Charles Schumer, and Senator Norm Coleman


Yikes!

And he was still 1000 times the person you are.

I know, I rather suspect the idiot socialists are going to oversee their own destruction via criminal alien and violent muslim invasion. It's the only positive thing about them turning the us into a shithole.

"….Our policy is to create a national health service in order to ensure that everybody in the country, irrespective of means, age, sex, or occupation, shall have equal opportunities to benefit from the best and most up-to-date medical and allied services available.”

Yes, that's Churchill, too.

So you're conceding he was wrong about socialism?

I only quoted YOU,shit for brains! Want to try this one, Commie cocksucker?

 

[Skylar]

He must be a Democrat....and Democrats are socialists.....and, therefore, communists.

Wow. That's like an altar built to the False Equivalency Fallacy.

Remember, Chic......you don't actually know what socialists or communists are. They're pejoratives to you. like watching a 4 year old try to curse. You might as well be calling someone a 'dumb-dumb head' for as much relevance as your claims to reality.

For example, most democrats don't advocate collective ownership of all means of production, a central tenet of communism. How do you reconcile this fundamental incompatibility between your claims and the meaning of the terms you're using?

You make up your own meanings. If only reality worked that way.

Liberalism and economics, ...oil and water.


The following just one more in an interminable record of the failures of Liberals/Progrssives/Democrats when their ideas come up against reality.




1. In their tireless efforts to paint every voter as a victim, the Left instituted a call for "economic equality," a totally bogus idea that has nothing to do with either economics or with human nature."

Unfortunately, the idea gained credence, not only with the usual dopes, but with a business owner...one who represents, it seems, the old saw "a fool and his money are soon parted."


2. "Income inequality has been racing in the wrong direction,” he said. “I want to fight for the idea that if someone is intelligent, hard-working and does a good job, then they are entitled to live a middle-class lifestyle.” The reaction to his salary pledge has led him to think that if his business continues to prosper, his actions could have far-reaching consequences. “The cause has expanded,” he said. “Whether I like it or not, the stakes are higher.”


3. Three months ago, Mr. [Dan] Price, 31, announced he was setting a new minimum salary of $70,000 at his Seattle credit card processing firm, Gravity Payments, and slashing his own million-dollar pay package to do it.

.... almost overnight, a decision by one small-business man in the northwestern corner of the country became a swashbuckling blow against income inequality.

Job seekers by the thousands sent in résumés. He was called a “thought leader.” Harvard business professors flew out to conduct a case study. Third graders wrote him thank-you notes. Single women wanted to date him.

... outspoken skeptics and conservatives like Rush Limbaugh, who smelled a socialist agenda..." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/b...klash-against-the-raise-that-roared.html?_r=0





4. Now, boys and girls.....how many lessons must be given, how many examples of failure- Barack Obama comes to mind- must Leftists, socialists, Liberals, Democrats, whatever, be given before they show the ability to learn???


a. David Mamet gave this lesson: "The adolescent, the Marxist, and the Liberal dream of “fairness,” brought about by the state. Silly. This would mean usurping the society decision that the skilled worker is entitled to higher pay than the unskilled. This decision is never pronounced by any authority other than the free market. It was arrived at via the interaction of human beings perfectly capable of ordering their own affairs.

Illustrative of reality is the fact that the Leftist refrains from paying above the stated price for goods and services…he wants, as everyone else does, competition between said services. Only then does he stand a chance of getting a “fair” price. In his own enterprise, he strives to improve quality or lower price…’else his potential customers will take their business to others.
Unless he has the power of government!


b. John Stuart Mill writes in “On Liberty,” that any man who is rewarded equally for doing a good job or a bad job, would be a fool to put energy into its accomplishment. He would naturally withhold it, and put it where it might improve his status or income.


Wanna guess what happened?

A private business owner makes a decision to spend his money the way he wants to spend it and this idiot poster somehow equates that to socialism.

He must be a Democrat....and Democrats are socialists.....and, therefore, communists.


Communists, socialists, and Democrats all have the same goal in mind.


BTW....know the difference between Democrats and socialists?

The head of the DNC doesn't.....'cause there is none.


"Appearing on “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was stumped when it came to answering what would appear to be a simple question on political philosophy.

After asking whether she supports the idea of Democratic presidential candidate and socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders should be given a primetime speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention if he is not the party’s nominee, Matthews threw the Chairwoman a curveball she couldn’t hit.

Matthews asked Wasserman Schultz, “What is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist?”

Wasserman Schultz laughed. Matthews continued, “I used to think there was a big difference, but what do you think it is?”

But Matthews didn’t let it go. “But what’s the big difference between being a Democrat and being a socialist?” Matthews asked. “You’re the chairman of the Democratic Party. Tell me the difference between you and a socialist.”

Again, Wasserman Schultz was unable to answer and tried to change the subject. “The relevant debate that we’ll be having over the course of this campaign,” she said, “is what’s the difference between being a Democrat and being a Republican.”

Try again to explain how a private business owner deciding on his own what to pay his employees has anything at all to do with socialism, you ignorant twit.

Socialism delivers 100% failure all the time.

Here are the ten largest economies in the world. By your definition of socialism, they are all socialist. Explain how they are failures.

Socialism delivers 100% failure all the time.

1. Using our Founder's inception for this nation as the paradigm, based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government, real
Americans are not socialists or communists.....



Now...here's something really scary.....Democrats are, or at least huge percentages of 'em, are socialists.

2. Sixty percent (60%) of U.S. adults nationwide say that capitalism is better than socialism. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 18% disagree, while 21% are not sure.

Adults under 30 are closely divided on the question.While Republicans and unaffiliated voters overwhelmingly say that capitalism is better, just 43% of Democrats agree. Twenty-four percent (24%) of Democrats say socialism is better.
60 Say Capitalism Better Than Socialism - Rasmussen Reports


a. Once again, no big surprise, butthose who favor capitalism or socialism are divided in a partisan way as well. Republicans favor capitalism by an 11-1 margin, while democrats are much more divided on the issue; 39% say they favor capitalism while 30% favor socialism.Rasmussen Poll Capitalism vs. Socialism 53 Prefer Capitalism Right Pundits


b. The most striking partisan differences come in reactions to the word "socialism." Just 15% of Republicans react positively to "socialism" while 77% react negatively. By more than two-to-one (64% to 26%), independents also have a negative impression of "socialism."

However,Democrats are evenly divided -- 44% have a positive reaction to "socialism" while 43% react negatively
Socialism Not So Negative Capitalism Not So Positive Pew Research Center


Such presages the end of America.

To anyone with a brain, we are a mix of capitalism and socialism. Every large, successful, wealthy nation in the world is as well. You have not clue what you are talking about.

The commie idiots in China, who are just a couple of generations ahead of the lefty leaders here, proclaim their commie masters' wisdom and thank their abusive leaders when people from the outside world risk their lives come into the country to provide routine medical care that the rest of the world has access to. Brainwashing does work. Anybody who doubts it can take a look at the idiotic lefty posts in this thread. Or anything that Lakota, coyote or care4all post.

China has not been a communist country for years.

"China has transformed itself from a centrally plannedclosed economy in the 1970’s to a manufacturing and exporting hub over the years. The Chinese economy is propelled by an equal contribution from manufacturing and services (45 percent each, approximately) with a 10 percent contribution by the agricultural sector. The Chinese economy overtook the US economy in terms of GDP based on PPP. However, the difference between the economies in terms of nominal GDP remains large. China is currently a $10.35 trillion economy and has been growing at around seven percent in the recent years. (Related reading, see: Why China Is "The World's Factory.")"
