Yeah, yeah, we get it. America sucks.China is making money using slave labor and is harvesting organs from political prisoners.It's pretty simply. People who want to try failed ideologies always say "it'll work this time".NO GUISE HONEST ITLL WORK THIS TIME PINKIE SWEARIf it hasn't worked in the past, it's not going to work in the future.Government is not socialism.The ignorance of the right-wing is astounding."Social power".Only right-wingers allege that. The rest of us know that the social power to Tax is delegated to our representatives to Government.Morals to steal from people?If you had enough reading comprehension you would understand it take morals for that not right-wing fantasy.Face it, kid. You fucked up. There is no Biblical justification for the tyranny you want.Read some history of the Roman Empire.Please point out where the Roman government mandated this sharing.Slavery is not about free-market Capitalism.That is not a defense of slavery, nor does it lend legitamacy to an evil idea.They got it from the Bible.The basic idea is not about property calling it theft or not self made. The basic idea is " from each according to his ability and to each according to his need". This is the same basic idea behind slavery which is why it is no coincidence that every communist nation is a slave state.
But no they did not. There is no such scripture.
Nobody takes right-wingers seriously about any "gospel Truth". Appeals to ignorance is all right-wingers are best at.
All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. ... Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. ... There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.[25]
— Acts 2:44–45, Acts 4:32–35

Again: Communism can work only in small communities and strictly voluntarily.
Only the Religious seem to be able to make it work. Not enough morals to go around among the secular laity?
You do know words have meanings, right? You don't get to make up new ones?
No such thing.
But it's HILARIOUS you believe you get to make up definitions! How insanely intellectually bankrupt!
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
It is accomplished via the social-ism of Government.
Socialism is a form of government which always fails.
That is fact in your face which has been proven time again but being a dishonest and immature right winger you still cling to a proven fallacy
It doesn't always fail at all. There have been a few examples of Socialism and they have failed because they struggled to deal with some of the fundamentals. I'm not a Socialist, but the doesn't mean it can't work.
People would say Capitalism has always failed too. Look at 2008.
And it's never worked in the past.
That's such an illogical position to take.
Literally, if you fail at first, give up and never try again.
The problem with political systems is there are many ways to flog a horse.
You can set up Socialism in a million different ways. You can be intelligent about it and use human psychology to get the best out of workers, or you can just demand they do what they're told and use fear, or you can simply let the workers be lazy.
Each will have different results.
China is doing things much differently to the way the USSR did things, or how Cuba do things. So you'll have different results.
Yeah, I think I'll pass.

What? I didn't understand a single thing.
No, it won't.
And the image itself is simple, too. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to vote Democrat.
That's why Democrats keep insisting "it'll work this time!"
The problem is there are many ways to run a country with the same ideology.
So, yeah, if you'd do the USSR again in the same way, it'd fail.
But China isn't doing Socialism in the same way as the USSR. So, you can't say "because the USSR failed, China will too."
Not a huge success there.
And look at the US. They had SLAVERY for 90 years, then segregation, then blacks currently have 25% poverty compared to 7% for whites.
SUCCESS????????
The US goes around the world bombing for oil.
Four OPEC countries hated the US in 2001. Iraq, invaded in 2003. Libya bombed and leader removed in 2011. Venezuela, US supported coup d'etat in 2002 followed by heavy sanctions. Iran, heavy sanctions.
Success?
You're boring me.
