The truth about socialism

[ColonelAngus]

Yes and North Korea is the "People's Republic of North Korea" but North Korea isn't a "Republic" either". Russia now calls itself a "democracy" but it's not.

The German NAZI's had "socialism" in their name too, but they were violently opposed to socialism. But they didn't change the name because they wanted everyone to believe they were "for the people".

It doesn't matter what you call yourself. It matters what you ARE.

You call yourself a "Republic", but in reality, you are now a dictatorship.

So Mamdani is a communist.

Thank you.

Socialism is really communism.

We agree.

How does socialism help people it oppresses them

It's not the economic system it the bad leadership.

Semantics. Many Commie states call themselves Democratic Republics.

Thanks to democrats Trump is reversing that

No he isn't, Nippon Steel bought out US Steel and the government now owns part of Nippon Steel and gets to make decisions with Nippon Steel, who is closer to socialism than capitalism.

Socialism is inherently oppressive

Socialism is inherently oppressive

Humans are inherently oppressive.

Under your current system, SOME people can enjoy a middle class life, but that number is declining because those at the top are taking more and more of the wealth created. 80% of all wealth now flows to the top 10%.

And your social safety net is the WORST in the first world.

A thriving middle class is a necessity for a successful capitalist economy. The Republican Party is killing the goose that laid the golden egg, but they don't care. They only care about the rich. **** the rest of you.

Nope. Under our current system, anyone responsible enough not to get pregnant when unmarried and motivated enough to instead take advantage of Pell Grants to get career-oriented training will live in a middle-class life.

There are dozens of two-year A.A. programs in community colleges that would make for a decent life.

Humans are inherently oppressive.

Somebody should oppress you.

 

[Moonglow]

Somebody should oppress you.

When you break yer chains you can, if you think you can.

 

[Hafar1014]

Humans are inherently oppressive.

Perhaps in your life but that means you make poor choices

 

[Lisa558]

Somebody should oppress you.

Or muzzle him.

Just watching you morons cry daily is entertainment enough…

Socialism intentionally denies examination because it is irrational. There is no formal defined dogma of socialism. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Socialism seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Socialism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Socialists dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Socialism is a religion. The religious nature of socialism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.

I ended up IGNORING lots of these lefty sock puppets who are essentially trolls. They do not engage in any productive discourse.

They are just obsessed with bashing Trump.

They are drones.

 

[rightwinger]

What the hell do you think we live with now? Massive socialist agendas. Right or wrong. We cannot produce what another nation without those socialist agendas will build for us in many ways. In other words, someone else has to provide the tits to suck from. From their view they had nothing before we farmed out our existence to them. However, they become stronger from it. They become competitors and potential adversaries.

WRONG

Government doing things for We the People is not socialism

Once again you prove you're dumber than a stump.

A healthy and thriving middle class is a necessity for a successful capitalist economy. Republicans are destroying the American middle class.

The State of the American Middle Class

As the financial divide has grown, a smaller share of Americans now live in middle-class households. Here are key facts about this group.

How America’s Middle Class Is Shrinking [Infographic]

America's middle class has been shrinking for the past 50 years. While middle class Americans remain the biggest income group by number of people, the same can't be said of the aggregate income earned by them.

America's Middle Class Is Losing Ground Financially

A study from the Pew Research Center provides evidence that the American middle class is losing ground financially.

Lets start with the big lie, Socialism means the workers own the means of production.
The state owns and controls all aspects of production not the people. The people own nothing. They cant vote its not a democracy and have no power at all. Everyone cant own the means of production thats impossible in a socialist model.

The result is oppression, poverty, no social mobility, 2 class society the rich and the poor, shortages of everything, low quality, and zero innovation. Look at Cub Russia North Korea, Venezuela as examples.

The only way a worker can own equity in a company i in America by buying stock. Many American companies are owned by their workers. You can own stock in any company and share the profits.

Socialism is a lie

Depends what you mean by "socialism" really.

Yes, when people claim to have "socialism" it means the state owns and controls production, rather than the people.

Wikipedia says "social ownership", and yes, it depends on the type of government you have. China, the USSR, Cuba etc are dictators who claim to be the people. Norway, Sweden etc are far more about what the people want, so when they have socialist elements to their system, it's actually socialism.

Socialism isn't the lie, the people who claim to be socialist when they're not are the lie

Who says it oppresses them?

You? Some rich guy?

Pffffft

Thanks fir asking
Look at Cuba Venezuela Russia Cambodia North Korea Red China socialists slaughtered over 100 million people.
The Gulag was a system of forced labor camps in the Soviet Union, operating from the 1920s to the 1950s. It was initially run by the Joint State Political Directorate (OGPU) and later by the NKVD and Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Gulag's purpose was to imprison and exploit those deemed enemies of the state, including political dissidents and those deemed "dangerous". The system grew to be one of the largest prison systems in history, reaching its peak during Stalin's rule.

Norway and Sweden are capitalist. Socialism is based on a lie. The state owns the means of production not the people.
