The Socialist Plan

[Meathead]

In the U.S., Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Being old no longer means poverty and sickness, we save that now for the kids.

Yeah, Greece did that too. They were Bernie before Bernie was Bernie.

Get a new meme, that one is both boring, and not a good example.

It is in fact an excellent example of socialism. America is not a Scandinavian country and has far too many shit holes and parasites for that.

America is a bad version of Sweden, and nothing like Greece.

No, America has very little in common with Sweden. America has more in common with Cuba by almost measure. With Sanders in power it would have even more.

Are we defining a single program or an nation's entire economy? Most industrial nations on this earth today, have a mixed economic system, some socialism and some capitalism. Does the United States have mixed economy and how long have we had it?

What's your point?

America under Sanders, and quite possibly Hillary 2.0, would look like far more Zimbabwe than Denmark. Even worse, Detroit.

There's not a reason in the world why that would be true. We have soft informal socialism here, a mixed economy but not a very good one. That can be fixed.

The only way to fix it is to get rid of the socialist portion.

Cuba? We have almost nothing in common with Cuba, except maybe their rates of incarceration.

Is a nation's economic well-being determined by other economic factors than its economic system; say its natural resources, education of its citizens, type of government, trading partners, industrialization and other factors?

 

[bripat9643]

Should there be enough jobs at a living wage available for the able bodied to work?

Not possible, the establishment has chosen ideology, regulations, and high taxes over jobs.

Capitalism, by definition, is not about everyone having a job. When unemployment is too low that is a bad thing for capitalists, it causes Wage Inflation.

Printing money is what causes inflation. Everyone having a good paying job is called "prosperity."

Socialism is defined as government or collective ownership of the means of production and distribution. Welfare benefits are not defined as socialism. Welfare benefits are just that extorted charity.

You're confusing communism with socialism. Communism calls for state ownership of means of production. Socialism calls for state control. Two different things.

Interestingly enough Marx used Communism and Socialism interchangeably in fact socialism is a phase on the path to communism.
Satisfy yourself and look up the definition of Socialism Merriam Webster says:

Full Definition of SOCIALISM
1
: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2
a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3
: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
If you paid for a college degree that gave you the definition you used you were cheated and should look at everything you learned with a grain of salt.

If you rely on Marx then both Cuba and Denmark share the same system. I'd say you were cheated out of a brain. Sue.

If reading the source material means I have no brain I agree. It seems to me that reading the source material indicates enough interest to know what I am talking about as for you "“If silence be good for the wise, how much better for fools”.

"Source material." <snicker>
You dont know what the term means. You dont know what you're talking about.
The adage: A little knowledge is an absurd thing" comes to mind here.

Then please elucidate oh wise one.

How about socialistic programs as compared to an entire nation, have any programs been successful?

In the U.S., Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Being old no longer means poverty and sickness, we save that now for the kids.

Let them work for what they expect to have in their Golden Years.

Kind of difficult, though, playing video games in Momma's basement, while waiting for an invitation to be Vice President of the one company where the youth submitted an error-ridden resume.

We have a lot more in common with Cuba than Sweden, including demographics, poverty, geography and idiots.

Wage Inflation, dumbass. And everyone having a good paying job is nothing like capitalism. Learn it.

In the case of Greece it's more determined by culture and politics. That's common enough.

Ask a North Korean or a Chinese and they WILL tell you that they are happy. You should know why.

Try and stay on topic eh? The topic is Socialism, not what people who live under Communist dictators have to say.

What your chart shows is that progress on reducing poverty stopped the minute Johnson's Great Society anti-poverty programs kicked in. In other words they are a colossal failure.

Inflation is inflation. It's always caused by the Central bank expanding the money supply.

Aren't all you leftwing turds claiming that Obama put everyone who wanted a job to work?

They show the exact opposite, of course.
