Democrat War On Avocados!

[PoliticalChic]

A recent Gallup poll showed a majority of Democrats favor socialism over capitalism.
[POLL: Democrats More Positive About Socialism Than Capitalism]


No.....really.

"Democrat" must be synonymous with government-school-grad.




And, there was this:

"RIVERDALE, NY—31-year-old Darlene Austin has always been an avid supporter of socialism, but she recently had an eye-opening experience.


“At a vegan cafe, I met a guy from Venezuela,” Austin explained. “I asked him about how great it must be to live in a country working to end economic inequality, but then he went into a long diatribe about oppression, poverty, and murder.”

Austin admitted she didn’t listen to much of it since she always knew that socialism would have “a few bumps along the way.” But then the man said something that really concerned her: he asked what the crispy bread slathered with a green substance on her plate was.

“He didn’t even know what avocado toast was!” Austin exclaimed.

She asked him about whether they had lots of avocados in Venezuela, but he explained it wasn’t just an issue of the availability of avocados but also not being able to get bread and sometimes not having electricity for a toaster."

Soooo.....you're claiming abject stupidity among Democrats for a decade???

I'd say far longer.

FDR gave a long impassioned wet kiss to the psychopathic killer, Stalin.

Bill 'the rapist' Clinton was beneficiary of the largesse of the Red Chinese People's Liberation Army

Hussein Obama, cryto-Islamist, did all he could to guarantee nuclear weapons to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism...

And the majority of Democrat voters support a failed economic plan.....socialism.



I agree....Democrats are pretty darned stupid.

I do my best to educate you, but, alas, my seeds of wisdom fall on stony ground.


1. socialism "is not IDENTICAL to COMMUNISM."
It is identical in terms of the outcome both aim for.

The only difference is the use of revolution...
In an article on socialism in the Encyclopedia Britannica, Prof. G. D. H. Cole, a leading theoretician and historian of the British Labor Party, declares: The distinction between socialism as distinguished by various Labor and Socialist parties of Europe and the New World, and communism, as represented by the Russians and minority parties in other countries is one of tactics-and-strategy rather than one of objective. Communism is indeed only socialism pursued by revolutionary means and making its revolutionary method a canon of faith...."

In The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels stated that communist ends can be attained "only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions."

Democrats do it by lying to the electorate.





2. "FDR was not a communist---he was a capitalist "

B-b-b-bogussssss!
Not only did FDR envy and emulate communist Joseph Stalin....but he hated capitalists.

a. Franklin Roosevelt had a visceral animosity toward businessmen, entrepreneurs, successful capitalists. And he had a way with words, in describing them. "unscrupulous money changers..." the greed and shortsightedness of bankers and businessmen," "..rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence" "we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit." "there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing."

b. Not the only rejection, but a significant one, was FDR's attempt to join Porcellian, the oldest and most elite social club at Harvard. Theodore Roosevelt and other members of the Roosevelt family belonged to the club, but Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was president of the Harvard Crimson, never managed to be elected a member. At some time, in his late thirties, he told his relative Sheffield Cowles that this had been "the greatest disappointment in his life". Frances Richardson Keller, Fictions of U. S. History : A Theory & Four Illustrations, p. 116.

Porcellian members were future entrepreneurs, businessmen, bankers, and corporate lawyers.
And they had rejected Franklin Roosevelt.




Wise up!!!!

This time I got your tongue-in-cheek....


But let me add something on the serious side.

The Nazis....socialists.....took over the means of production.



"Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian


Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian | George Reisman


1. ".... Nazi Germany was a socialist state, not a capitalist one. And ... socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.



2. ... the word "Nazi" was an abbreviation for "der Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei — in English translation: the National Socialist German Workers' Party ... what should one expect the economic system of a country ruled by a party with "socialist" in its name to be but socialism?


3. It is far more common to believe that it represented a form of capitalism, which is what the Communists and all other Marxists have claimed. The basis of the claim that Nazi Germany was capitalist was the fact that most industries in Nazi Germany appeared to be left in private hands.


4. . What Mises identified was that private ownership of the means of production existed in name only under the Nazis and that the actual substance of ownership of the means of production resided in the German government. For it was the German government and not the nominal private owners that exercised all of the substantive powers of ownership: it, not the nominal private owners, decided what was to be produced, in what quantity, by what methods, and to whom it was to be distributed, as well as what prices would be charged and what wages would be paid, and what dividends or other income the nominal private owners would be permitted to receive. The position of the alleged private owners, Mises showed, was reduced essentially to that of government pensioners."

They have consistently been accused of being socialists for decades, now they are actually admitting it.

socialism, too. Sometimes it is a GOOD THING <<<<also a correct statement.
UNIONS (as in "la la la LOOK FOR THE UNIONNN LAAABELLL la la laa" )

Pleeeeezzzzzzz!!!!!!!!



You are mistaking the fact that capitalist nations often have some socialist redistribution programs, like welfare.

BUT....those programs are only possible because a nation is based on capitalism.

Capitalism makes countries wealthy…..socialism redistributes wealth, shutting down industry in the process.

Nordic countries have high levels of social services, but this is paid for by exorbitant tax rates. Denmark has a 63% tax rate, plus a 25% sales tax.

And….a 5.5% decline in GDP in the decade.
Opinion | Something Not Rotten in Denmark





“The welfare state we have is excellent in most ways,” says Gunnar Viby Mogensen, a Danish historian. “We only have this little problem. We can’t afford it.”

If you think socialism is good...or even possible....try Venezuela.
I'll help you pack.
