Not only should we not have more socialism in our US government we should reduce the current socialist reforms.

[Vegasgiants]

Sounds good, except the federal highways. Building roads is actually a stated function of the government. The rest of it should be handled by the states.

So state sponsored socialism then

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Not only should we not have more socialism in our US government we should reduce the current socialist reforms.
Let's get rid of federal highways, public parks, public schools, social security and Medicare.

You don't know the difference between regular government abuse and socialism. I can see how you get confused because they seem like the same thing given that they are both an abuse of government, but they are different forms of government overreach.

What is "regular government". That statement and your post show how absolutely stupid you are. Unbelievable!

I am one smart mofo when compared to absolute most stupid of the human race as exemplified by you and many others on this site.
Harry, can you explain to me what a "regular government" is and an "irregular government".

 

[dblack]

What is "regular government".

Regular government is government the focuses on protecting individual rights (most especially property rights) and keeping the peace. It's also tasked with managing the commons. It has no authority to control "the means of production".

But that's a relatively subtle distinction. Modern political "grunts" don't do subtle.

you just said you are smarter than me and yet here you are asking me....a smart person would ask the one who said those terms....

Smart people ask questions of all people. That is how they become smart. As a dumb person you would not understand.
To distinguish governments as "regular" and "irregular", sounds beyond stupid to me. But with a good explanation my mind could be changed. I doubt there is a good answer but smart people are open to hear all sides and open to change their mind.

elmer you sound like a fucking idiot.....thats one reason you get so much flak here.....and you are too far left to care what someone who disagrees with you has to say....

That is a regular government for you. Other people would have a completely different definition of a regular government. There is no encompassing definition of "regular government". Individuals who think their definition of "regular government" is everyone's definition are horribly naive and self-serving. Basically they are stupid.
Below is the dictionary definition which can apply to all governments throughout the world. None of which are considered "regular government"
government. / (ˈɡʌvənmənt, ˈɡʌvəmənt) / noun. the exercise of political authority over the actions, affairs, etc, of a political unit, people, etc, as well as the performance of certain functions for this unit or body; the action of governing; political rule and administration.

Well, it was being discussed in the context of US government, and the spurious claims that anything and everything government does is "socialism".

Yes. No one here is as smart as you. That's abundantly clear.

I get flak here because it is dominated by Trump cult members who cannot think for themselves. I think for myself and disagree with most of what Trump says, not all. I am not so simple minded that I think anyone is all right or all wrong. Trump minions are simple minded., like all cults. You are either all in or all out.
I come here to communicate with people like you because in my life I do not know people who think like you.

this is why you get very little respect here elmer....if someone disagrees with you....they are stupid...that kind of makes you stupid too elmer....

Thank you, Dblack for acknowledging my high level of intelligence. There is no definition "regular US government". Every US citizen has a slightly different definition of what "regular US government is" All governments that survive the test of time, change to meet new challenges and conditions.

bull fucking shit.....you called me a trump cultist a while back just because i had the gall and audacity to disagree with you...and when i asked you prove that, like usual you ignored me...you do that to ones here who have openly stated they cant stand trump,like me,just because we said something you dont like....but then i understand your problem,you are a fucking die-hard democrat trying to convince people you are not....it aint working pal....

I'm not interested in equivocating with you on definitions. A valid point was made: not all excessive government amounts to socialism. Only those policies based on the fundamental premise of socialism - that the means of production should be controlled democratically - are properly labeled socialist in nature.

But please go on with your oh-so-intelligent spin. It's educational.

I apologize Harry, but I am called a lot worse than stupid by many on this site. And I have called people a lot worse than stupid. I do feel many individuals are stupid on this site but I could be more kind on how I express it. Possibly use terms like intellectually challenged, less intellectual, knowledge deprived. What do you think.

Some people want to cut off their noses to spite their faces....

It will be hard to wipe that butt you love to moon people with when there is a true shortage of toilet paper that often happens in any nation that practices Marxist socialism.
