Let us face it folks------>some of these people should be unceremoniously laughed off this thread! They are actually attempting to tell you that your way of life SUCKS, and that Russia and Cuba have it better! And they have been doing the SOCIALISM thing for a very long time, and am sure have perfected it, lol.
Come ON! Laugh at these people, or do you really want to live like Cuba, Venezuela, and Russia do?
I see the Hildabeast camp has called Sanders a socialist whackadoodle. They finally got something right
That is correct Sassy! Hey, just a question. I know it is a hard one, you might have to research it, and for that I apologize.
QUESTION---------> Didn't that wonderful, former country known as the "Union of Soviet SOCIALISTS Republic" actually have to build a wall to keep their people in, while WE are contemplating having to build a wall to keep ILLEGAL people out?
I am kinda confused on that one with reading all these posts from lefties how wonderful SOCIALISM is. Maybe you could clarify-)
============
The Soviet Union was NOT Socialist.
It was not even truly COMMUNIST.
It was a dictatorship.
And here's a little tid-bit you wlll find few other places.
The Soviet Union has been invaded multiple times during it's history and they are paranoid about being invaded again.
The old Soviet Union put up to 80% of the GNP in MILITARY because of their fear of being invaded and taken over.
If they had invested in CONSUMER GOODS instead of so much MILITARY, they < WOULD > have buried us.
It is a larger country with more natural resources than America has.
The downfall of the Soviet Union was caused by internal dissent caused by the fact they put most of their money in DEFENSE instead of CONSUMER GOODS.
The Chinese learned THEIR lesson from watching the Soviet Union and the Chinese are KICKING OUR ASS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT.
Just because they < called > themselves Communists, doesn't mean they were.
And there are Socialist countries with a higher standard of living and better health care than America.
At least there were until they let in the Middle East Rapefugees. Now they are having LOTS of problems but those problems aren't attributable to Socialism but to TERRORISM / RELIGIOUS FANATACISM.
