Minn Democrat Chair proudly proclaims they are the party of Democratic Socialists

[TheProgressivePatriot]

So it seems like they are doubling down on their extremism. As expected.

Extremism?? See post 199 Get an education.!

 

[dblack]

You are talking about a getting a perfect government system that fulfills all your wants and needs.

Uh... no. I'm not. I'm advocating for government that focuses on protecting individual rights, and stays out of our "wants and needs".

This is an incredible shock. Shocking in that this clown told the truth about who they really are.

Democrats from 1949 to 2016: We're not socialists! We just want to give people a hand if they're down on their luck.

Democrats in 2025 (lolz):

They have been closeted reds for many decades.

The ignorance and associated fear of socialism that you people display is truly astounding. At the same time, I’m not sure if you do this out purely out of ignorance or as a political ploy to disparage democrats, In any case we have never denied our socialist roots which can be traced to the progressive movement of the early 1900's promoted by Teddy Roosevelt and others

American Socialism is nothing more sinister that governments attempt to reign in the excesses and greed of free market capitalism- greed which is inevitable-in order to level the playing field for those who are not wealthy and powerful. American Socialism- although rarely called that- brought us the labor movement and workers rights, social security, regulations that protect the environment, the progressive income tax, The Affordable Health Care Act, occupational safety, child labor laws and much more. Unless you can honestly say that workers and consumers should be at the total mercy of free market corporations, with no social safety net at all- you are- to some degree a socialist. You and many others are fond of railing against you loss of freedom, but I’m at a loss to understand just what those freedoms are. The government is less a threat to your loss of freedom than is the domination of the corporate state and the concentration of wealth that is being pushed by the tea party.

Socialism in this country is used all to often as interchangeable with fascism and communism. Yes there is the National Socialist Movement (Nazis) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics-clearly systems that are oppressive. Yet today there is also The Norwegian Labour Party which is officially committed to social-democratic ideals. Its slogan since the 1930s has been "work for everyone", and the party seeks a strong welfare state…and it is a democracy as well. People need to get over this fear of socialism and become educated as to its real meaning.

Keep in mind that Fascism is a political system, socialism is an economic system that has existed in the context of various political systems ranging from the total control of a fascist state to democracies where the economic system is tightly regulated ( and yes in its extreme form, the means of production is owned by the state) Communism can be seen as the ultimate socialism with the abolishment of private property and businesses and ultimately the “withering away of the state” and the evolution of a utopian society with everyone being equal. That was the theory anyway and of course it never happened that way in the Soviet Union – or anywhere, as we know. Instead, the state could never relinquish control and ultimately self destructed.

Get educated or shut the **** up!

Ok commie.

I chuckled when I read that, considering how many shady Dems in Congress refuse to give up the privilege of insider trading (along with probably most of the Republican party, too, of course).

Here we go.

I'm surprised it took this long for the scum of the Earth to try to tell us how normal and cool socialism really is.

dimocraps are scum

Here's a photo of socialists being all normal n shit

Elite capitalists don't?

The National Socialists in Germany were called 'Beefsteaks' by the Locals. Brown on the outside, Red on the Inside.

It is universally understood that socialists simply take what belongs to others and use it for their own benefit. Whether they kill them first is up in the air. But they always do well at first........

Then they run out of the money they stole. Everywhere. Every time. Read some history.

Socialism has always been a ponzi scheme with a musical chair time element ending.

They are already rich. Democrats like Obama, Pelosi, and Sanders get rich from the grift and insider trading.

20 out of 10 million. Probably not statistically valid.

More than you have ever talked to, and from different strata.

[Dr. Phosphorous]

China, Russia, Germany, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea. How many times does the same thing have to happen before you get your head out of your ass.

Germany wasn't socialist in the 1930s and 1940s, fucktard.

And China sure as **** isn't socialist now. Neither is Russia.

You support rule by billionaire oligarchy.....just like Trump. Just like Putin.

That's why the Big Ugly Bill takes from the poor and gives to billionaires.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Do you consider yourself educated and sophisticated?

Educated for sure.

I'm sophisticated in the sense that I know Trump lies to your worthless racist MAGA bumpkins every single ******* day.

Yeah, it was you blithering fool.

 

[DGS49]

All Americans should understand that the Federal Government is implicitly prohibited from creating and funding "socialist" programs by the combination of Article I and the Tenth Amendment. Congress has no "power" to bestow any benefits on INDIVIDUALS (other than government employees), which is the essence of socialism. And if Congress lacks a power in the Constitution, then it is reserved to the States and the private sector.

HOWEVER, there is nothing preventing the States from having socialized medicine, housing, food distribution, education...whatever they want. The only "protection" that the voters have in States where socialist programs prevail is the power to vote the bastards out of office - or to leave.

As odious as this character in New York is, there is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about the initiatives that he has mentioned. They would be prohibited to the Feds, but he ain't running for Congress or the White House.

Seriously, somebody needs to explain all of this to AOC.

I don't think that word ("socialist") means what you think it means. NAZI Germany, China, and the USSR were absolutely socialistic, although not totally so.
