Who’s Afraid of Socialism? | Open Media Boston

"Capitalism’s incompatibility with majority interests has been reaffirmed by the current economic crisis.

"Earlier, the most severe effects of capitalism had been offset, within the US, by the progressive reforms of the 1930s.

"But capital’s political power was less restrained in this country than it was in the other rich countries.

"Flush with military might and bolstered by a mass right-wing culture of arrogant self-righteousness, US capital launched a withering counterattack against the New Deal legacy, culminating in an almost three-decade orgy of anti-welfare legislation, imperialist aggression, privatization, and deregulation."

Unrestrained profit maximization results in concentrating an enormous amount of surplus capital which can find few safe investments.

"Free market" capitalists turn to highly speculative scams which generate financial bubbles as the real economy continues to be hollowed out and the working class is driven deeper into debt.

Socialism would turn to government for an alternative, but US government is Goldman Sachs regardless of which major party is in control.
 
Who is afraid of Satan?

Even if you aren't afraid (although let's be honest the OP is wetting his pants), not sure it's the best idea to invite him over for a dinner.

Anybody with any common sense or capacity to commit logic is afraid of socialism. All you have to do is look at Venezuela to see why you have to be insane to adopt such economic policies.

Pure socialism or pure capitalism does not work. Show me an example of either that works in the real world.
Our government is a blend of both capitalism and socialism, heavier on capitalism.
The key is took get the balance right.
 
Capitalism need to be regulated to be fair for the citizens of any nation. Socialism needs to be regulated also for the same reasons.

You have watched too much Star Wars "Find the balance of good and evil in the force".

USA is a capitalist nation. Here the mantra is to FUCK socialism and evil. Save the fiction for dumber 3rd world countries.

The phrase "regulated socialism" is too stupid for words to describe.
It's the socialists who do all the regulating....Worked out great for the Castros, but the rest of Cuba not so much.

Socialism showed up AFTER unfettered capitalism built the greatest country in the world.

Once again, the commies blame capitalism....

Who’s afraid of socialism? Everyone that lived in a socialist country. Except the leaders that seem to live a life of luxury while everyone else starves.
 
We do have crony capitalism, and Obama was a master at it, while preaching "You didn't build that", passing Obamacare (socialist), and funding green companies with taxpayer money, like Solyndra that went bankrupt.

However, I will take our somewhat market based economy which is highly regulated, but does at least offer some competition over socialism any day.

Show me a pure capitalist government that has worked in the real world. In a pure capitalist government those who cheat and have no morals more often win. Capitalism with all participants having a moral compass may work, but human being do not all have moral compasses.
The US economy was predominantly capitalist in the late 1800's. The result was the creation of monopolies so companies could not compete and taking advantage of workers.
One of the first to instill capitalist regulations was Teddy Roosevelt a Republican

No thanks. One need not look any further than europe to see what a travesty it is.

Indeed, one need look no further than taking public transportation on the public roads past the public park and into the public library right next to the public museum, while the public fire department puts out the fire in the house one just left but the house is damaged so one has to take a flight coordinated by the public FAA and don't forget to pack one's medications safety-approved by the public FDA so that the food one eats, itself screened for toxins by the same agency, doesn't upset one's system thereby requiring medical intervention even though it's covered by Medicare.

Oh and Europe is a proper name btw. Gets an uppercase E.

That explains the relentless influx of immigrants from Denmark.

The US was extremely close to pure capitalism until 1914 when the government created the Federal Reserve. During that time it became the biggest and richest economy on planet Earth.

There were no monopolies in the country aside from the ones the government created. You've been brainwashed with Marxist propaganda.

results in concentrating an enormous surplus of private wealth which can find no useful outlet and which consequently gets drawn into an unbroken succession of speculative schemes.

Private wealth, we can't allow that, can we?
