False comparison fallacy.

Preach to the choir fallacy.

No one ‘advocates’ for ‘socialism.’

Uh... Bernie Sanders, anyone? What about that twenty-something activist from running in New York who wants to give away free everything or the very people who participate in this forum who are obviously for a socialist kind of regime?

What about the 70 something President who just gave farmers $12B dollars? Sounds like we have a socialist regime already then…right?

Conservatives are binary thinkers.

If you're not a hard core capitalist, then you must be a communist.

There's no in between.​

Unfettered capitalism was on the verge of collapse. It was called the Great Depression. It was FDR and the introduction of State intervention into the economy and the institution of the safety net that saved it. It happened once and can happen again given the irresponsibility of the GOP run government.

I’m not a conservative and nowhere in the answer to the question does it say if you’re not for capitalism you’re for communism.

The knee-jerk responses I’m getting here tell me this post has touched a couple nerves... I post things I believe could make way for interesting discussions. If you’ve a problem with it feel free to elaborate using points and/or claims expressed in the OP.
