Why do Republicans bash socialism - when it's all around them?

You see, we are still a capitalist nation.

Nope. We're a Keynesian nation.

The article's author over there clearly lacks a grasp of economic theory and monetary policy both.

Bullshit, Keynesian nation would pay down the debts in good economic times.

Keynes has consistently called for long term solvency.
Lol
Only Fucking spineless pieces of shit believe Keynesian economics, So shut the fuck up you fucking moron

haha thanks for your thoughtful contribution. We are all richer for having read it :rolleyes:
Lol
Keynesian economics are Proven to be a total failure, Sick motherfuckers That believe in them need to be weeded out...
That's absolutely UNTRUE. Keynsian economics has kept us out of Depressions for almost 100 years. Prior to its inception we had them every 10-15 years
 
What they're supposed to do and end up doing nearly always end up being vastly different...

Who is "they"? Keynes is long dead and Keynesian economic theory is not hinged on what politicians actually do.
All economic theory is based upon what humans -which includes politicians- do.

Nonsense. There is nothing in definition of any economic theory about any particular country's doings.
I didn't say anything about a "country" doing anything...A "country" is an inanimate abstraction.

Only people can act...And economic central control, whether or not being practiced under the rubric of a nation-state, always -yes, I said always- fails in the end.

Keynesianism is just communism with a few extra steps.

....let me rephrase it for you, so you can maybe understand this simple idea:

There is nothing in definition of any economic theory about any particular people's doings.


Just because America consistently refuses to fix it's long term solvency problem, does not mean that Keynsian economic theory is fiscally irresponsible. It just means America is not a very good practitioner of that particular economic theory (primarily because we have an insidious tax-cut cult on the Republican side).
Economic theory is all about the doings pf all people

The long term solvency problem is because of the holes in Keynesian hokum, which insists that economic growth comes from pushing strings and breaking windows, not despite them.

You're really in way over your head here, Chumlee.

Speaking of being in way over one's head. :lmao:
 
So we're not talking about whether we have socialism in our government and economy...we're talking about how MUSH socialism we require.

Exactly. It should be much less.
At least that's the beginning of an honest discussion.

I say we need more. Not as much maybe as Sweden but enough to mitigate the harm that capitalism can cause

Sweden isn't socialist, it's a Welfare State. They regulate their industries far less than we do, they just tax the everloving daylights out of them, and the people.
Wait...we're told to be afraid of socialism...but Sweden is more socialist than we are and more than almost all Dems and liberals want..and we're told that Sweden is not socialist?

Then what the fuck are we supposed to be afraid of?

W's socialist porkfest and sellout to Zionism was Keynesian because he raised spending faster than LBJ did, resulting in a depression and a four fold increase in US debt.

What works = cutting spending and taxes, not just taxes, BOTH
What doesn't work = more spending
 
Socialism is taxpayer funds being used collectively to benefit society as a whole, despite income, contribution, or ability.

Sounds horrible, huh?

Well I hate to be the one to tell you, but Socialism, which you have been told to fear all your life, is responsible for all this...

1. The Military/Defense - The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.

2. Highways/Roads - Those roads and highways you drive on every single day are completely taxpayer funded. Your tax dollars are used to maintain, expand, and preserve our highways and roads for every one's use. President Eisenhower was inspired by Germany's autobahn and implemented the idea right here in America. That's right, a republican president created our taxpayer funded, national highway system. This was a different time, before the republican party came down with a vicious case of rabies that never went away.

3. Public Libraries - Yes. That place where you go to check out books from conservative authors telling you how horrible socialism is, is in fact socialism. Libraries are taxpayer funded. You pay a few bucks to get a library card and you can read books for free for the rest of your life.

4. Police - Ever had a situation where you had to call the police? Then you have used a taxpayer funded socialist program. Anyone can call the police whether they pay taxes or not. They are there to protect and serve the community, not individuals. This is complete socialism on a state level, but still socialism all the same. Would you rather have to swipe your credit card before the police will help you?

5. Fire Dept. - Hopefully you have never had a fire in your home. But if you have, you probably called your local taxpayer-funded fire department to put the fire out. Like police, this is state socialism. You tax dollars are used to rescue your entire community in case of a fire. It use to be set up where you would pay a fee every month to the fire dept. for their service. If you didn't pay, they let your house burn down. Sadly, a man from Tennessee had this exact situation happen to him in 2011 because he didn't pay his $75.00 fee. I guess that small town in Tennessee would rather let people's houses burn down that resort to evil socialism. So don't take for granted the fact that you have a 24/7 fire dept. to put out your burning home thanks to socialism.

What the hell is wrong with a little socialism? We live with it. It's all around us. It has made our lives better. It's called Democratic Socialism.

None of that is socialism.

It's government overreach, but not socialism.

Sweden's founding was built on vikingism and slavery. Sweden is illegitimate and should be destroyed. Bad example.

Next.

The Founding Fathers listed the duties of the federal government in a single sentence, "to provide for the common defense and to promote the general welfare". Notice they didn't say "to provide for the general welfare and promote the common defense. Lest we forget the Rev. Jim Jones was the darling of the emerging democrat/socialist movement back in the late 70's. Jonestown was going to set an example if how well socialism could work. When you listen to these socialist fools today just remember, "don't drink the cool-aid".

What?

FAIL.

Just go away
Haven't you twats been arguing that America's founding is illegitimate because it was built on slavery?

Same for every other country, most importantly your precious "socialist" Scandinavian countries....all of them.

I don't know why pro-Trump Republicans bash communism when Trump and Kim Jong Un write each other love letters.

And I know Russia is not currently communist, but it's run by an ex-KGB agent.

We aren't Keynesian economics here in America. We used to be until reagan.

reagan switched us to the friedman supply side trickle down economic scam that destroys economies. Republicans have been forcing it on us since 1981.

I wish we were Keynesian. We would have a much more fiscally responsible economy that works for everyone. Not just the ultra rich.
More economically illiteracy....Reagan's economic models were exactly what Keynesian voodoo economics are....Go into debt under the premise that doing so makes you wealthier in the end.

Wrong...socialism is the government controlling the means of production.

Duh, that's one form of socialism. Thanks for playing...

National socialism and communism are very, very different from Democratic Socialism here in America.
"Democratic socialism"....As though you can say "chocolate covered" before "dog turd" and that transforms a chunk of shit into a Snickers bar.

You people are true lunatics.
 
Brilliant....

In 2000, we had a $5 trillion US Federal Debt and a budget surplus...

When W was done selling out in 2009, we had an $11 trillion Federal Debt and a deficit of more than a trillion....

To have no concern for that is to out oneself as a ZIONIST.

ZIONIST = will murder, steal, and bankrupt America to help Israel, the biggest problem the US has today


I
There was never ever a budget surplus.
