53% of Democrats Hold a Favorable View of Socialism

[Red Front]

A socialist country is one where the gov't explicitly or implicitly controls the economy. All of it. Or even almost all of it. Those wonderful Scandinavian countries that the Left loves so much don't do that, ergo they are NOT socialist countries.

Show me the socialist country that really does share all resources equally.
Show me the socialist country that really is totally voluntary.
Show me the socialist country that really doesn't use force.
Show me the socialist country that doesn't have a dictator.
Show me the socialist country that really has maximum freedom, now that is funny.
Show me the socialist country that doesn't use force, has no inequality, and it's ruling class isn't enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else.

The truth is that no such country exists or ever has existed. Not one. It's a myth. It's bullshit, that the Left foists on as many people as they can in order to get elected or re-elected. Vote for us and all your worries will be taken care of. Social welfare from cradle to grave and you don't have to be responsible for anything.

So - those of you on the Left, show me the socialist country you want us to emulate. Let's talk.

Vietnam holds elections and is run democratically and so do Venezuela and Nicaragua. Practically every nation that identifies itself as Marxist is heavily sanctioned by the United States and its allies, not to speak of being threatened with war. There are plenty of nations with capitalist economies that are led by dictators and monarchs, who use violence to maintain their power.

Thats not what I said. Private contractors built the highways. They don't own them. They were paid for their services by the taxpayer.

Sounds like the definition of socialism to me.

That is a myth of the Right, the Left wants what the Nordic countries have, a mix of capitalism and democratic socialism or whatever you want to call it.

I don’t think it is a question of Socialism vs Capitalism
I think it is a question of priorities

We insist on a military that is policeman for the whole world

Other countries are just as safe but can afford modern infrastructure, universal healthcare, education and better employee benefits

 

[marvin martian]

Meanwhile entire generations in the U.S. are finding it more and more impossible to afford homes and families, while at the same time oligarchs and the ruling class rake in record profits

That's what you voted for, bro.

We don't, YOU do. YOU voted for the president who sent >$80 BILLION to Ukraine in less than a year, to fight a "war" that he instigated.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Who instigated it?

Education is a right under Article 26 of the UN declaration of human rights which US is a signatory.
Healthcare is under Article 25.

So I am sorry but US Citizens enjoy the protections of human rights despite what you think..

Fuck the UN.

We are not beholden to any of its bullshit.

Level the building, sell the real estate, pay down the debt.

 

[marvin martian]

Who instigated it?

Joe Biden, when he told his boss Putin it was OK to invade Ukraine.

This is what you voted for.

How did that work out for your boy Putin?

The government usually had those, even when the police were knights, and the roads were dirt, that was feudalism, not socialism.

the roads are only the path of transport, not the trucks, not the drivers, not the cargo (mostly).

One insurer only, and that being the government IS socialism.

Tell us the options of private roads you have to pick?

How many private police forces in your town?

That's what you voted for, bro.

Trickle down economics, destroying the ability of workers to organize to demand better pay and conditions, and outsourcing jobs have been part of the backbone of the GOP's platfor for the last 50 years.

 

[Nostra]

Majority of Dimwingers say they want Socialism................so what do the board Dimwingers do? They do what Dimwingers always do................come up with 14 different definitions of Socialism.

A woman isn't a woman........a man isn't a man...................

 

[Nostra]

How did that work out for your boy Putin?

How did it work out for the population of Ukraine?

American taxpayers?

Quote any Republican using the term "Trickle down economics", Simp.

I predict you can't.

 

[Toro]

For years they've denied they are a pro-socialist party. Kind of hard to do that now when that view makes up the majority, isn't it?

This is very depressing.

It's working great.

A small price to pay to stop a revanchist who is trying to overturn the global liberal order that America constructed and benefited the most since WWII.

What a stupid fucking point of contention

 

[frigidweirdo]

You ain't gonna be in business too long if you're giving everything away for free.

Have you seen how much free stuff companies like Walmart gets?

Literally large companies go around the US asking local areas and states how little tax they can pay and choose the area that gives them the most free stuff.


Apparently, that's good ol' fashioned fucking you up the ass capitalism.

Have you polled the Ukrainian population..........or what's left of it, Simp?
