Why not move to Cuba or France if you want socialism?

Cuba is communist, not socialist.

If you want socialism done right see Denmark, Norway, Sweden, etc....
 
The happiest place on earth is socialist....

For the past decade, social scientists and pollsters have given elaborate questionnaires to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Two of the largest studies that rank the happiness of countries around the world are the World Map of Happiness from the University of Leiscester and the World Database of Happiness from Ruut Veenhoven of Erasmus University Rotterdam. All the happiness surveys ask people basically the same question: How happy are you?

"The answer you get is not only how they feel right now, but also how they feel about their entire life," explained Dan Buettner, who has studied happiness and longevity around the world through his Blue Zones project Buettner said that if you mine all the databases of universities and research centers, you'll find that the happiest place on earth is ? Denmark. Cold, dreary, unspectacular Denmark.

Could the Danes really be the happiest people in the world? When ABC News anchor Bill Weir traveled there to find out, he asked random Danes to rate themselves in terms of happiness, on a scale of one to 10. Many people rated themselves at least an eight, and there were several nines and 10s. Finally, one grouchy Dane came along who said she didn't believe Danes were so happy. But then she quickly conceded that she herself felt rather content with her life, and said Danes in general had very little to complain about.
Danes do have one potential complaint: high taxes. The happiest people in the world pay some of the highest taxes in the world -- between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes. In exchange, the government covers all health care and education, and spends more on children and the elderly than any country in the world per capita. With just 5.5 million people, the system is efficient, and people feel "tryghed" -- the Danish word for "tucked in" -- like a snug child.
Those high taxes have another effect. Since a banker can end up taking home as much money as an artist, people don't chose careers based on income or status. "They have this thing called 'Jante-lov,' which essentially says, 'You're no better then anybody else,'" said Buettner. "A garbage man can live in a middle-class neighborhood and hold his head high."

Definition of SOCIALISM
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

So how does Cuba not fit that definition?
 
Anybody can go back and look up what you said. You said that you did not accept traditional dictionaries and encyclopedias. And you are not the one who can reject a traditional definition because you don't like it. That demonstrates you are not serious about the subject.

bripat, your definition was wrong. Remember that you are the one who said he did not believe in traditional definitions. You are a fail, period, bripat.

That isn't what I said, Fakey. I said the dictionary is not the ultimate authority on the definition of words. Anyone who says it is only unmasks himself as a moron.
 
Tell us then by the definition below how is Obama, the Democratic Party, Romney, and the GOP socialist.

Why not move to someplace where you can just shoot people who offend you? You would be so much happier.

Actually that describes cuba.....and why did you bring up violence?

He asked a reasonable question....cuba has singlepayer for you.....
 
Why not move to Cuba or France if you want socialism?

Why destroy America???? We don't want your rat poison. :mad:

What specific "socialist" policies are you referring to?

I asked this back on page one and no one would/could answer.

I've asked it before and not one rw came forward with an answer.

Its bad enough that they don't know the definition of "socialism". The real crime is that, even though they are voting in favor of it, they don't know the definitions of "fascism" or "plutocracy".

I missed where rw bripat said "the dictionary is not the ultimate authority on the definition of words". Mitt said the same thing -- That he has no use for mere facts. He just makes it up as he goes along and what's good enough for Mitt is good enough for his lemmings.

Well, a lot of these cons like the idea of plutocracy anyway.

Good advise. But too late. America is a socialist paradise.

The "progressives" adopted the Central Bank , a graduated "income"tax, social security and not one single shot was fired.

Hard working Americans still believe that they can out vote the parasites. Not gonna happen. Voting is not the answer. AK47's are.
