Next time you hear someone criticizing socialism...

[Blues Man]

Here’s the reply you’ll get : “that’s not socialism “. As much as Cons talk about the democrats socialism, none of them can you an example of it .

By definition it wasn't

do you know the definition of socialism?

I do . The real definition , not the bastardize version Cons use aka “anything the gov does that helps people”.

So why are you using the wrong one?

Socialists deny that their ambitions are totalitarian. But their stated goals say otherwise. Here's the first paragraph from 'What is Democratic Socialism' on the Democratic Socialists of America's website:

What is Democratic Socialism? - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.

They want the economy, and society, to be "run" democratically. Think about that. What else is left? What else is beyond their control if they run the economy and society?

the right wing is worse; they allege a subscription to capitalism.

Capitalism is all about boom and bust.

Because life is about boom and bust.

Prison is pretty routine. Would you give up the uncertainty of freedom for prison life?

Government is the safety of socialism.

Do you subscribe to capitalism?

When will these stupid Libatrds ever learn that you don't create any wealth or prosperity by talking money out one pocket and putting it in the other?

Socialism and Islam combined murdered 270 Million Human Beings.

So I guess the thing you do if you hear someone criticizing Socialism is just kill them if you are a Socialist.

Because of the Right Wing's insistence on a work ethic from the Age of Iron, I learned how to use not Only a Hammer, but also a Sickle.

Thanks, right wingers.

Take your paycheck and share it with your neighbors, and then when you can't pay your rent or mortgage, ask them to share their paycheck with you.

If America went Socialism, people who will make sure it doesn’t apply to them will be the very politician advocating it.

That's the thing. Socialists like to pretend that their system does away with greed and ambition. It doesn't. It just channels it into government.

Agree. Do you think AOC is going to quit advocating Socialism now that Capitalism rewarded her with $10 Million from Netflix for promoting Socialism?

She’ll be standing there with her hand out while telling her constituents to eat The Socialist Cake She Baked

We have a Mixed Market economy. Let's optimize it.

Ask them how well capitalism was doing in 1929.

To the extent that capitalism’s problems – inequality, instability (cycles/crises), etc. – stem in part from its production relationships, reforms focused exclusively on regulating or supplanting markets will not succeed in solving them. For example, Keynesian monetary policies (focused on raising or lowering the quantity of money in circulation and, correspondingly, interest rates) do not touch the employer-employee relationship, however much their variations redistribute wealth, regulate markets, or displace markets in favor of state-administered investment decisions. Likewise, Keynesian fiscal policies (raising or lowering taxes and government spending) do not address the employer-employee relationship.

Keynesian policies also never ended the cyclical instability of capitalism. The New Deal and European social democracy left capitalism in place in both state and private units (enterprises) of production notwithstanding their massive reform agendas and programs. They thereby left capitalist employers facing the incentives and receiving the resources (profits) to evade, weaken and eventually dissolve most of those programs.

It is far better not to distribute wealth unequally in the first place than to re-distribute it after to undo the inequality. For example, FDR proposed in 1944 that the government establish a maximum income alongside a minimum wage; that is one among the various ways inequality could be limited and thereby redistribution avoided. Efforts to redistribute encounter evasions, oppositions, and failures that compound the effects of unequal distribution itself. Social peace and cohesion are the victims of redistribution sooner or later. Reforming markets while leaving the relations/organization of capitalist production unchanged is like redistribution. Just as redistribution schemes fail to solve the problems rooted in distribution, market-focused reforms fail to solve the problems rooted in production.

Since 2008, capitalism has showed us all yet again its deep and unsolved problems of cyclical instability, deepening inequality and the injustices they both entail. Their persistence mirrors that of the capitalist organization of production. To successfully confront and solve the problems of economic cycles, income and wealth inequality, and so on, we need to go beyond the capitalist employer-employee system of production. The democratization of enterprises – transitioning from employer-employee hierarchies to worker cooperatives – is a key way available here and now to realize the change we need.

Worker coops democratically decide the distribution of income (wages, bonuses, benefits, profit shares, etc.) among their members. No small group of owners and the boards of directors they choose would, as in capitalist corporations, make such decisions. Thus, for example, it would be far less likely that a few individuals in a worker coop would earn millions while most others could not afford to send children to college. A democratic worker coop decision on the distribution of enterprise income would be far less unequal than what typifies capitalist enterprises. A socialism for the 21st century could and should include the transition from a capitalist to a worker-coop-based economic system as central to its commitments to less inequality and less social conflict over redistribution.

Capitalism Is Not the “Market System”

Well move off to the socialist wonderlands. Dont tease us.

Do you subscribe to capitalism?

Yes, we allege to subscribe to Capitalism within the socialism of our form of Government.

So where are the pics of the millions of dead bodies in piles and piles that were murdered by the totalitarian socialist regimes?
