We Need Socialism.

Is it paranoia if they ARE really out to get you? Trump was a liberal favorite until he decided to run for president as a Republican. Suddenly he became the spawn of Satan to the democrats.

I don't give a shit about democrats.

Not communism, but socialism. There is a difference. For instance, Hitler and the National Socialists were against the communists. (And for VERY good reasons) Under Hitler and the National Socialists, the German economy went from ruined to the greatest economy in the world! Also, the only to defeat the Chinese communists is with a socialist system. But the capitalists cringe at the thought. Why? Because there is no way a for profit company could compete with a government run company. For one reason, profit would be taken out of the equation. Also, we could make anything the Chinese make for less than they can. Because our country is rich in natural resources. As long as the government can provide the necessities that are needed to live, such as housing, food and clothing, things can be made for a very cheap price. But here is a cartoon from 1897 that shows the problem when it comes to, for example, housing. (How things haven't changed)

Though he was an asshole, Muammar Gaddafi took a socialist approach when it came to housing. He required by law that every citizen had a place to live. He also made it illegal to own more than one house. Another point is that here in the U.S., the working poor on average spend around 55% of their income on rent. To that add the cost of food, clothing, utilities, insurance, etc., that doesn't leave people with much else. Also each year around 500,000 families go bankrupt due to medical expenses. It's all a pile of shit that only socialism can lift us out of. You should also consider what these two people had to say.

Under capitalism, your home never truly belongs to you.
If you rent, it is definitely not yours. If you have a mortgage, it is not yours, but the bank's. If you have paid off your mortgage, it is still not yours, but the state's.
And if you are in doubt, try not paying your property tax just once.

Socialists have done a lot to undermine private property, but even in the current, corrupted system, most property is controlled by private interests - not the state.

So, it is not your home and also, not your money.

You got point,?

Now post one that shows how Russian companies make money!
Or one that shows that socialist companies don't make money.
On purpose.

Now do North Korea and South Korea.
And East Germany versus West Germany.

If capitalism was actually the greatest system on earth the U.S. government wouldn’t be censoring anti-capitalist views.
The truth is capitalism is in decay and the ruling class is terrified that the people are on the verge of waking up and realizing the entire system is a lie.

…. and the ruling class is terrified that the people are on the verge of waking up and realizing the entire system is a lie.

I hope you’re right.
