Wanna Try Out Socialism?

The Democrat Party does.

"Bernie Sanders Finds Himself in a New Role as Front-Runner
...surpassing his rivals in early fundraising and establishing himself as an indisputable front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination."
Bernie Sanders Finds Himself in a New Role as Front-Runner | RealClearPolitics


A Marxist as the Democrat standard-bearer???? Yup.
Here we see the culmination of the Liberal control of government schooling: indoctrination, certainly not education.Time for the Democrats to be called the ‘know-nothing party.’ And for a remedial course in the history of socialism.




1. I’ve always been a devotee of the Gates Test: when they open the gates, do people rush in, or rush out? It’s a pretty good test of socialism, in all of its forms: communism, fascism, Nazism, Progressivism, and Liberalism [check out the numbers of folks moving out of California and New York].


2. “During the first three decades of the 20th century, Argentina was one of the world's top-10 richest nations. It was ahead of Canada and Australia in total and per capita income. After Juan Peron's ideas, captured in his economic creed that he called "national socialism," became a part of Argentina's life, the country fell into economic chaos. Today it has fallen to 25th in terms of GDP.


3. Nicolas Maduro, an avowed socialist, has turned oil-rich Venezuela into a place where there are shortages of everything from toilet paper to beer, where electricity keeps shutting down, and where there are long lines of people hoping to get food. Some people are eating their pets and feeding their children from garbage bins. Socialism has crippled Venezuela's once-thriving economy. Today, Venezuela is among the world's most tragically poor countries.


4. After Germany's defeat in WWII, it was divided into socialist East Germany and capitalist West Germany. West Germans had far greater income, wealth and human rights protections. In large numbers, East Germans tried to flee to West Germany, so much so that the East German government set up deadly mines and other traps to prevent escape. Few, if any, West Germans tried to flee to East Germany, and the West German government spent no resources preventing its citizens from leaving.


5. …there's North Korea and South Korea. North Korea's nominal per capita GDP is only 3.6 percent of South Korea's nominal per capita GDP of $23,838. There are few human rights protections for North Koreans. North Korea, like East Germany, has set up deadly mines and other traps to prevent its citizens from escaping.


6. …socialist nations that have murdered tens of millions of their own citizens such as the case with the former USSR and China.

7. Sanders and other socialists hold Denmark as their dream, but Prime Minister Lars Lekke Rasmussen said: "I know that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy." Scandinavian socialism is a myth.” Millennials for Socialism



So, since socialism has never worked, what better plan for the Democrat Party???
What? Try out socialism? No lass. Socialism is like the Yankee's.

It sucks.

:funnyface:
 
When Democrats passed the Social Security Act in the Thirties Republicans warned us that this nation would be a communist nation in a short time. That was almost eighty years ago, so if the Republicans were right the USA is now a Communistic nation. If not, were the Republicans wrong again?

When Democrats passed the Social Security Act in the Thirties Republicans warned us that this nation would be a communist nation in a short time. That was almost eighty years ago, so if the Republicans were right the USA is now a Communistic nation. If not, were the Republicans wrong again?

That's why

There are fools like you who are perfectly happy that the 32th presidency ended the reign of the Constitution.

Real Americans may have a different view.

Real Americans voted for FDR four times in a row. The Republicans response: pass an amendment prohiting people from voting their choice. And America's historians, that probably know the Constitution as well as I do, voted FDR Americas greatest president.

People who were frightened voted for the failure.

That's why he kept the depression going....to keep them scared.


The Roosevelt legacy:


1. Roosevelt offered up the lives of everyone in Eastern Europe to his lord and master, Joseph 'Koba' Stalin


2. He made certain that Stalin's plans continued after his death: the creation of the United Nations


3. He extended the Depression by years.


4. He disposed of the Constitution


5. He imposed Mussolini's Fascist policies and called it 'the New Deal


6. He turned over command of our military actions in WWII to Stalin, and cost multiple thousands of US soldiers' deaths.


7. He made certain that communism survived the war, and thrived afterwards.


8. Without his efforts, there would be no Red China, no Korean War, and no Vietnamese War


9. ...and he is the proximate explanation for the cultural Marxism prevalent in society today.


10. He was a racist and a bigot how wanted only those ‘with the right sort of blood.’ Sounds like a Nazis, huh?


And, he inspired lying Leftists like you.

Our welfare clause is General. There is no general defense clause. Yet, Government solves all problems for the national socialist right wing.
 
We are already trying out Nationalist Socialism. Social Democracy has a better track record.

Following the law is not in the character of either FDR or Leftists....you.



. In July 5, 1935, in a letter to Representative Samuel B. Hill of Washington, the President manifested his contempt for the Constitution. Hill was chairman of the subcommittee studying the Guffey-Vinson bill to regulate the coal industry: the purpose of the legislation was to re-establish, for the coal industry, the NRA code system which the Supreme Court had unanimously declared unconstitutional. Roosevelt wrote: "I hope your committee will not permit doubts as to constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the legislation."
Letter to Representative Samuel B. Hill on H.R. 8479. | The American Presidency Project



This was the same Roosevelt who had sworn an oath on his 300 year old family Bible, to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Chesly Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p. 65.




The majority of our problems today stem from this lawlessness.

For your education....and reading displeasure:

The Roosevelt-Truman War...Today
 
Our Founding Fathers did an most excellent job at the convention with our federal Constitution and supreme law of the land.

Our form of socialism has already been Ordained and Established for us.
 
As I have suggested to Chic a number of times, gather all your evidence on FDR's presidency and sentd it to the people that evaluate the presidents. The primary problem will be getting the people to tell you why they voted for FDR four times in a row, as did Reagan, but you can do a little historical research.

Hundreds and hundreds of the same logical fallacy over and over because this dishonest dope cannot justify the vile actions of his hero.
