Do you really, truly think the Democrats are using Venezuela as their model, instead of Germany, Canada, Australia, Norway?They didn't. They aren't.So, just to be clear: You think that the Left wants us to more closely emulate Venezuela, and not Canada, Australia, Germany and Norway.There's nothing phony about Venezuela. It's a classic example of another failed attempt to implement socialism. There are no successful examples.Great, so we should be having THAT conversation instead of all the phony Venezuela bullshit.

Is that really what you think?

I should just go along with screwing over the poor and middle class?
Countries that attempt socialism seem to do that anyway. If an ideal scenario is too unlikely to fight for, why fight at all?
I hardly see people protesting in the streets in Canada.
Oh? What industry did Canada nationalize? I had no idea they were implementing centralized economic control.
The Right refuses to recognize the difference between actual socialism and social democracy, so you get confused.
The Left just calls it "socialism" now simply for the sake of brevity now, I assume. But more than that, the Left also knows that the Right has completely diluted the term to mean almost anything, the word only scares right wingers at this point, and no doubt the Left is very thankful for that.

Ah, so when the right misuses the term, it's confusion and refusal to understand. When the left does it, it's for brevity. Lol. You "my team good, your team bad" types never cease to crack me up. The tribalism is so thick with some of you folks that I can damn near put a coat of paint on it.
Personally, I don't get confused by how low info types, left or right, use the term. I'm pretty confident in the definition I'm using.
Do you truly believe that?
Yes or no?
