Venezuela. A picture is worth a thousand words

Socialism happened in Venezuela

And the loons on the left want it here. Morons

"Socialism happened in Venezuela

I have no idea what the LOONS on THE LEFT actually want as I don't know any LOONS on the LEFT.

However, as a sane and rational lib/prog I can assure you that I do NOT want SOCIALISM like they have in venezuela.

SInce the USA already has SOME socialism that seems to work well some of us would like JUST a WEE BIT MORE socialism (affordable healthcare...)

Oh....you want "democratic socialism"...which would lead to full blown socialism. Lol

Privately owned store shelves = capitalism, artificial shortage to blackmail the people and government.

true capitalists privatize their military.

 

[depotoo]

Another socialism thread....ad nauseum. Socialism this and socialism that. Last I checked we are capitalistic. And that has no chance of changing . Socialism has not an ounce of foothold here

Oh, but it does. Don’t make yourself blind to it, as that is exactly their hope, to continue sneaking it in under the radar.

Yes, they do; the right wing only pays lip service to capitalism but worship national socialism.

national socialists are right wing union busters not democratic socialists who believe in the individual liberty to join any union you want.

Oh, man. Where did you grow up and what school did you go to, teaching that tripe?

Wrong....and lose the "funny". It's against forum rules...another thing you're clueless about.

It hasn't in Norway or Finland.

We have socialism right now in the USA and it hasn't lead to FULL BLOWN socialism.

I merely wish to have "affordable health care" and "affordable education"....

It would be great if in the (so-called) greatest nation nobody lived in poverty and everyone had access to good, affordable health care and education.....

I have no problem with doctors earning more than janitors.

I just would like it if the low paid janitor (a job we need done!) earned enough to live on without taking on a second job.

I've heard this my whole life though. First everyone knows it doesn't work. Second the corporatists who have a huge influence on policy will never let it happen. Things aren't going to change so I don't even blink an eye at it.

 

[initforme]

We have socialism here? News to me. I equate it to Sasquatch. It exists we just can't find it.

i can't be wrong; i have a valid argument and am not appealing to ignorance.

why is it against the forum rules, i find it funny bigots are trying to claim any form of superiority with inferior arguments.

Government is socialism. You can't have socialism without it.

we all pay taxes for public schools.

even people without children are paying taxes for public schools.

THAT is an example of socialism.

Government isn't socialism. Get rid of govt and things get real messy.

 

[Tehon]

Chavez nationalized stores

He did?
And what about the producers of the products found in the stores. Did he nationalize all of them as well? Or maybe he just nationalized a few who were manufacturing food shortages of staple products.

 

[initforme]

O g, the whiny taxes thing. Lame.

Oh, so you think those producing shouldn’t be paid...

Capitalism can't handle it; that is why we resort to socialism.
