Trump Versus Our Oldest Enemy

Move what? PoliticalChic is not presenting facts and insights. She is just expressing irritable attitudes.

Try reading WITH comprehension.

It helps. And as a bonus t might make you seem less retarded.

Young Americans like socialism. Their opinions more likely reflect concerns about inequality, a desire to see America become a pseudo-European social democracy...

Young Americans like socialism. That’s one finding of a new Axios/Momentive poll surveying American attitudes toward topics such as economic inequality, capitalism and socialism, and government’s role in the economy.

Among Americans aged 18-24, the poll reports that only 42 percent of those surveyed regardless of political affiliation have a positive view of capitalism, while 54 percent have a negative view. Only two years ago, the same polling survey had 58 percent of the same demographic favoring capitalism, while 38 percent had a negative view.

These changes aren’t just confined to shifts among younger progressive-leaning Americans. In 2019, 81 percent of those who leaned Republican, aged 18-34, had a positive opinion of capitalism. Now, however, only 66 percent of this demographic maintain this view...

Their opinions more likely reflect concerns about inequality, a desire to see America become something like a European social democracy, or a sense that there’s something wrong with 21st-century American capitalism...

In my experience, young Americans will often say that they think the economy is rigged in favor of the privileged and well-connected. Indeed, they are right to believe so.

Young Americans Increasingly Prefer Socialism. Here’s How To Change Their Minds

Young people who like socialism do so because they do not like what capitalism is doing to them. They are angry about the growing number of billionaires, while they are unable to get secure, well paying jobs with generous health and retirement benefits, and raises every year that beat inflation. They have little to show for their college degrees but unpayable student loans.

Giving these people lectures about the benefits of the free market will not change their minds. The lectures will anger them, because they will not conform to what they see every day.

I would love socialism if it came with a small efficient government that doesn't cost me much. I would love socialism if it didn't mean giving up all my personal freedoms. You may be right that most Americans would prefer socialism, but only if the current corrupt democrap party doesn't manage it. I'd rather have capitalism with the republicans than socialism with the pro-establishment big government elitist democraps. If you want socialism to ever have a chance in America, get it far away from today's democraps. They screw up and corrupt everything they touch.

You obviously do not understand the difference between empirical statements and normative statements.

 

[PoliticalChic]

You believe in filling up the U.S. Message Board with long copy and paste jobs that no one reads.

That's fine.
Continue not to read them.

Good bye

You copy and paste stuff because you do not want people to learn that you are too stupid to compose your own comments.

Wow, I really must have hurt you, huh?


That could be a problem for you, not having an education.


Really, you don't have to respond.

If you had an education, you would be able to compose rational and fact based comments. You can't because you don't. All I get out of you are strong feelings, poorly expressed.

I suspect that it is beginning to dawn on you that you have been poorly educated, while I have had such a broad opportunity therein that only one of us can quote specifically in just about any area.

You have simply been trained to swallow propaganda.

With this:

In September of 1991, the President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, was asked about the history and future of Communism:

“One of their more dramatic responses came to a question by Los Angeles actor Ben Stein, who asked whether the two leaders believed any country should live under communism.

Yeltsin answered first: "This experiment which was conducted on our soil was a tragedy for our people and it was too bad that it happened on our territory. It would have been better if the experiment had happened in some small country, to make it clear that it was a Utopian idea, although a beautiful idea."

Gorbachev said history has shown that "that model has failed which was brought about in our country. And I believe that this is a lesson not only for our people but for all peoples.”

You’re a dolt. The government issues your fucking social security number.

One might say that they kinda already know it.

You are so stupid that you do not understand the difference between Communism and democratic socialism. I tried to explain the difference to you, but my explanation was too complex for your inferior mind. That is why there is no hope for you.

 

[Hector12]

You may be a blowhard but at least you’re delusional.

You are obtuse.

You are projecting your shortcomings and those of Political Chic onto me.

Try to understand this: your posts are important to my agenda because I post for the 5 to 10 times more who read threads than who post in them.

I need your sort so I can shred them so those who never saw the facts can see them.

So, when I post this response, understand that I have no expectation that it wil influence you, just that the truth will show how wrong socialists/communists like you are.





You know the old joke, a moderate Islamist is simply one with no ammunition.

That's pretty close to the difference between socialists and communists.

In an article on socialism in the Encyclopedia Britannica, Prof. G. D. H. Cole, a leading theoretician and historian of the British Labor Party, declares: The distinction between socialism as distinguished by various Labor and Socialist parties of Europe and the New World, and communism, as represented by the Russians and minority parties in other countries is one of tactics-and-strategy rather than one of objective. Communism is indeed only socialism pursued by revolutionary means and making its revolutionary method a canon of faith...."





And this....

1. "The progressive left, and the liberal left, while not themselves communists, share many of the same sympathies, such of redistribution of wealth, and worker’s rights, nationalizations of industry, etc, but are not quite as far left as the communists, and would not go to the same lengths as the communists to achieve their goals. This does not mean, though, that the help of these dupes is not necessary in order for the communists to achieve victory. Even at their peak, in the ‘30’s, the Communist Party of the United States never had more than 100 thousand members: so deception of the ‘dupes’ was critical.
   1. The archives tell a tale of plans and schemes between the CPUSA and the Communist International in Moscow, to dupe progressives and liberals: “go to rallies,” “don’t let them know you are a communist!,” “If anyone reveals that you are a communist, claim it is red-baiting,” “yell ‘McCarthyism!”Dr. Paul Kengor, Hoover Institution, Stanford “DUPES: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century

"Dupes" is worth reading.

A useful idiot or useful fool is a pejorative description of a person, suggesting that the person thinks they are fighting for a cause without fully comprehending the consequences of their actions, and who does not realize they are being manipulated by the cause's leaders or by other political players.<a href="Useful idiot - Wikipedia">The term was often used during the Cold War in the Western bloc to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and psychological manipulation.<a href="Useful idiot - Wikipedia"
