Let's unpack some of the right wing's delusion and dishonesty. Is universal healthcare socialism?

[Anomalism]

You'll often see conservatives argue that any social program is socialism and then in the next breath they'll say the Scandinavian countries are capitalist and not socialist when people point to how well they do over there. Well they have universal healthcare and very expansive social safety nets. Are those things socialism or not in your world view? You hypocrites can't have your cake and eat it too. Either the Scandinavian countries are socialist in your view or things like universal healthcare are not actually socialism. There are no Democrats arguing for the government to completely take over the private sector. They want universal healthcare and government funded universities like in the Scandinavian nations. At least get your shit straight and make a consistent argument.

At least get your shit straight and make a consistent argument.

Scandinavian countries restrict who can live in Scandinavian countries.

So do you want to have an immigration debate or will you actually address what's being discussed in the OP?

You mentioned Scandinavian countries and I pointed out that minorities and the poor are not welcome there.
Your turn at bat.

 

[Anomalism]

Your turn at bat.

You ignored the point made in the OP. Address that and I'll address your deflection.

Is universal healthcare socialism?

Are the Scandinavian countries socialist?

If you're not an idiot your answers to both of those questions will be the same.

Government is socialism. Right wingers are simply being disingenuous like usual. Merely using the Other Peoples' money is socialism.

True free market capitalism exists only in the third world where Government is limited or non-existent.

If you even have to ASK the question, you are wholly unqualified to even discuss the matter.

I don’t know about you jackass, but Medicare and social security have been paid by me and maybe ewe our entire working lives. All the while you are also shelling out to private insurance until you reach sixty five at which time you are dumped into Medicare. If you try to opt out of Medicare they will take your social security to.. so no it’s not socialism. Most of us paid for our educations too. We don’t stand around looking for ways to get others to pay for what you want! Is this clear?

You cannot ignore, even as you try to, the social structure of a nation when discussing a social program.
A society based on common levels of success and ancestry cannot be compared to the US.

 

[BS Filter]

Yes, government healthcare is socialism.

They also don't have a Statue of Liberty.

True free market capitalism
It was defacto tried under GW and failed miserably.

I would much rather just slap the shit out of you. If you had any sense at all you should talk nice to conservatives with respect. Maybe one will sell you a clue you can impress a friend with.

Is that poem admissible in court?
Are the lyrics to You Can't Always Get What You Want admissible in court?
Do you realize how boring you are?

 

[Anomalism]

Yes, government healthcare is socialism.

But the Scandinavian countries are capitalist despite having the most expansive social safety nets in the world.

This is about the quality of response I expect from right wingers.

I think you're too dumb to have this conversation.
