The First Strike to Protect Capitalism

`The First Strike to save Capitalism from the greed of Capitalists. And some dare call this move Socialism.

CEO defends 70 000 minimum for employees Money - Home

I find it noble, but a bit to extreme = a three their system of salary, with no more than a 12% spread between the mail room and the board room seems fair.

Damn, you liberals are stupid. 12%
You must need assistance to breathe.

Why? Tell us, what makes fairness stupid, and what is the risk when income inequality grows and grows?

It isn't fair. That's the whole point. Did you claim to once be an "educator?"
 
Is your idea that someone is going to enforce your concept of fairness ?

the liberal solution is always men with guns!!! Why do you ask???

In short, liberalism is violence!!






No, PROGRESSIVISM is violence. Liberals are pretty easy going.

When and where has there been a violent progressive riot?





Progressive governments such as Soviet Russia, Fascist Germany and Fascist Italy are replete with examples of progressive violence.

LOL, so Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini followed in the footsteps of Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. Is that correct?

Never claimed to be an educator, though I did teach at the academy for new LE officers & deputies.
 

LOL, those are hooligans and anarchists, not progressives, who engaged in civil strive, many came from other nations.

Another effort to be glib by someone who has no evidence to refute my post. It's a common practice of those on the right (or wrong side of most every issue), the crowd whose sole contribution to nearly every issue is "ain't it awful"; in a word, the smellfungus members of the echo chamber.
 
The whole gun thing is far left....not liberal.

dear, how intelligent can a liberal be?? Take the big 5: Welfare medicare SS Medicaid Obamacare. These are just the beginnings of the liberal communist far left program. If you don't want to participate, on assumption that this is a free country, liberal far left men with guns come.

I pride myself on making things simple enough for ever a liberal to understand. Did I succeed??

yes only given the tradition of freedom here they had to proceed slowly, to sneek in the back door so to speak. Why did you think our liberals spied for Hitler and Stalin, and elect Obama and Sanders?


Norman Thomas quotes:

The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

So now Hitler and the boys were progressive. The right wingers sure like to twist things around. Hitler and Stalin had more in common with today's right wing movement. Anti union, anti college professors, anti gays, calling for a more militarized police, more money for wars rather than social programs.

dear, it was the left wing that spied for Stalin and Hitler and gave Stalin the bomb. It was the left wing that marched in May Day parades all over America. It is the left wing that supports Obama and the openly communist Sanders

Do you understand now??

antelope, there is great difference between a liberal, a progressive and the far left. Communist Governments were mostly totalitarian, as were most fascist Governments - both are a form of government which is authoritarian and anathema to progressives, liberals and Libertarians.

Calling Sen. Sanders a communist tells the reader more about you than about the Senator. You offer nothing of substance and are a captious critic.

Then why did the most noted progressives of the era give fascist dictators their overwhelming support? Below is just a small number of quotes showing the progressive support for the totalitarian governmental systems.


  • H. G. Wells, one of the most influential progressives of the 20th century, said in 1932 that progressives must become “liberal fascists” and “enlightened Nazis.” Regarding totalitarianism, he stated: “I have never been able to escape altogether from its relentless logic.” Calling for a “‘Phoenix Rebirth’ of Liberalism” under the umbrella of “Liberal Fascism,” Wells said: “I am asking for a Liberal Fascisti, for enlightened Nazis.”
  • The poet Wallace Stevens pronounced himself “pro-Mussolini personally.”
  • The eminent historian Charles Beard wrote of Mussolini’s efforts: “Beyond question, an amazing experiment is being made [in Italy], an experiment in reconciling individualism and socialism.”
  • Muckraking journalists almost universally admired Mussolini. Lincoln Steffens, for one, said that Italian fascism made Western democracy, by comparison, look like a system run by “petty persons with petty purposes.” Mussolini, Steffens proclaimed reverently, had been “formed” by God “out of the rib of Italy.”
  • McClure’s Magazine founder Samuel McClure, an important figure in the muckraking movement, described Italian fascism as “a great step forward and the first new ideal in government since the founding of the American Republic.”
  • After having vistited Italy and interviewed Mussolini in 1926, the American humorist Will Rogers, who was informally dubbed “Ambassador-at-Large of the United States” by the National Press Club, said of the fascist dictator: “I’m pretty high on that bird.” “Dictator form of government is the greatest form of government,” Rogers wrote, “that is, if you have the right dictator.”
  • Reporter Ida Tarbell was deeply impressed by Mussolini's attitudes regarding labor, affectionately dubbing him “a despot with a dimple.”
  • NAACP co-founder W. E. B. DuBois saw National Socialism as a worthy model for economic organization. The establishment of the Nazi dictatorship in Germany, he wrote, had been “absolutely necessary to get the state in order.” In 1937 DuBois stated: “there is today, in some respects, more democracy in Germany than there has been in years past.”
  • FDR adviser Rexford Guy Tugwell said of Italian fascism: “It's the cleanest, neatest, most efficiently operating piece of social machinery I've ever seen. It makes me envious.”
  • New Republic editor George Soule, who avidly supported FDR, noted approvingly that the Roosevelt administration was “trying out the economics of fascism.”
  • Playwright George Bernard Shaw hailed Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini as the world’s great “progressive” leaders because they “did things,” unlike the leaders of those “putrefying corpses” called parliamentary democracies.

Time marches on, and first impressions fade as more and more facts be known.

Let's look at today, the fringe conservative movement has very loud supporters for an ideology which I've defined as, I got mine, fuck the rest of you".

In other words a complete rejection of a Social Contract, democracy and stewardship of our planets soil, air and water.

The devil is in the details and one needs to watch the feet of those who want to lead, not their lips.

Yes indeed. Time marches on and for some reason insane people who call themselves progressives seem to think they can replay human history and somehow get a different result. Progressivism has never, and will never work. The simple problem is mankind. Mankind is petty, and greedy, and the majority of them are lazy to boot. So, when someone comes along who is not lazy, and actually betters his or her position through hard work the lazy pricks get all bent out of shape and start whining about how life is unfair.

And it is. Life is life. It is no better or worse than YOU are willing to make it. All progressives have ever managed to do is drop everyone but a very small percentage of the population down to a level of equal misery and murder huge numbers of people in that quest for the lowest common denominator.
