Are people seriously ignorant of the consequences of communism/socialism?

[CrusaderFrank]

It's really not that hard to figure out. We don't have very many Communists in this country, certainly none in government. We do have Republicans. Republicans are a clear and present danger. Communists are not.

You're a ******* tool. You need to be deported

You sir are what is referred to as a "useful idiot".

This country has been shoved to the right by the corporate money for decades now.

To pretend we are on a socialistic bent is total propagandistic BULLSHIT!

how brain washed can you people get?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

How much death has to be caused by these systems before people understand they dont work?

Taking care of the old and the sick is not "communism."

Spending government money on education, healthcare, research, and infrastructure is what drives an economy.

It is not and has never been the responsibility for the Federal Government to do that. Infrastructure is limited to specific things as is research. The rest is State responsibility.

Read the ******* Constitution.

And you need to read its case law.

Oh brother.

Makes perfect sense. I don't worry about Communists for the same reason I don't worry about the Justified Ancients of Muumuu. They hardly even exist in the U.S., and those that do exist have no power. They're no threat. Republicans, on the other hand, are numerous and powerful. They're a threat.

Maybe I would dislike what Communists would do if they did have power more than I dislike what Republicans do, but as there is zero chance of that happening, big deal.

You're a badly-raised adolescent who never learned how to play with others. You need to grow up.

Yea Socialists/Progressives are way too fixated on the possible freebies they'll get with total Government control. They're just not focusing on what they'll have to give up to get those possible freebies. Socialism/Communism never ends well for the people. Once they take your freedom & Liberty away,you aint getting it back. So be very careful wishing for that Nanny State.

 

[BreezeWood]

If the system remains Democratic it will remain as a choice.

Socialism is great for the useless, not so much for the self motivated individual though.

Gawd how I really wish truth really mattered to you.

 

[SmarterThanHick]

consequences of socialism?

police force
fire fighters
shared cleaned streets
school systems
cheaper groceries
street parades
national defense

OK I give up. What are the consequences of these things? Safer neighborhoods and smarter people? What am I missing?

 

[ScreamingEagle]

Gaze upon the horrible face of universal healthcare and Swedish socialism....

Gaze quickly before Sweden is gone.....

This is what is REALLY happening today in Sweden due to liberal policies of multiculturalism and welfare programs.....this is one face of today's new "communism"....

How is that relavent. Communism over the last 90 years has been a system defined by incompetence and mass murder. The question is, how many people have to die to show it won't work. Religion is not part of the question.


It can be a different question, but it is not relavent to this discussion.

You confuse (or obfuscate) an economic theory with a politcal system.

They political system is justified by the theory, and the theory is the blueprint for the system. They are each part of the other.

More consequences of socialism......

More consequences of socialism......

I hate to break it to you, but socialism didn't create human life. God did. And then created a process where a man and woman, ideally married, can unite and procreate more life.

That process was put in place at the beginning of man and has continued regardless of what government or system of economics they've experimented with.

Come back when you have a compelling argument. I know that will require some thinking, but im sure you can manage it. Please tell us why we should adopt a system of government that has terminated the lives of so many people and eliminates the freedom for all but the very elite?

Explain that to the recipients of Medicare and Social Security.

So you think the elderly, those that survive that is, are not going to have a problem with the systematic murder of citizens?

Are people seriously ignorant of the consequences of communism/socialism?

What is ‘seriously ignorant’ is the notion that any credible party, candidate, or political origination advocates ‘communism/socialism.’ Equally ignorant is the position that the administration’s policies are in any way remotely associated with ‘communism/socialism.’

 

[paulitician]

Socialism/Communism never ends well for the people. Don't trade your freedom & liberty away for some Government freebies. That's a very bad trade-off.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Americans need to be aware of the consequences of John Birch/Cleon Skousen/Glenn Beck loony tunism. Communism is bad, but their stuff is simply no better.
