Why Are Americans and Conservatives So Afraid of Socialism?

It was like that a long, long time ago. Rudy Giuliani turned it into Disneyland.

It has gotten back in touch with its rotten roots.

Great. I look forward to your link demonstrating the effects of immigration on GDP.

You don't need any links to prove it. It's common sense. How does some one who crosses our border without skills improve the standard of living of the working man? He obviously doesn't. He's willing to work for less, so he drives wages down. He has no skills, so he produces less. His wife and children require government services, therefore raising out taxes.

Only a douchebag would claim any native born American benefits from immigration of peasants from third world countries.

Here's an idea. Move somewhere that has no taxes (or government).

Somalia? Libya? Afghanistan?

See ya

They actually have both, just not in the form Americans are accustomed to. The fact is that the higher our taxes have gotten, the slower our economy grows.

One day ya’ll hate Americas founding and early operations…the next day you tell us how we should do it like we did in the old days…What gives

Huh? I wouldn't want to go back to the founding, we've progressed so much. That doesn't mean I hate anything. Maybe actually try to debate someone rather than your imagination.

LefTard Logic:
“Life in America isn’t rainbows and unicorns for our lowest grade who CHOSE to live they way they do…therefore we should revamp our system to work better for them…and lets **** over our best most productive in the process.”

No company builds their business model around their worse employees….NONE!

Oh, but you're the one who is miserable. Who are the worst employees? The ones willing to actually work or the ******* idiots who blame their problems on others?

No, I think you are attempting to make a point so this would be a good time to provide evidence.

Hahaha…crazy Tard…miserable people who beg others for free shit are the same people who blame others for their shortcomings.
Only in LibTardia can you come across this backwards twilight zone shit.

I'm no more afraid of socialism than I am of a pile of dog shit on the sidewalk. I just prefer to avoid them both because they stink and are unhealthy.

Beg others? Who is begging? I'm not a low wager like you who appears to be afraid of losing your job to unskilled labor. You post about your paranoid fears all day, everyday. Do you really think you're coming off as anything but fearful?

All you know how to do is put down and degrade others based on skin color but you don't come off as any sort of success story. I'd feel sorry for you but with your attitude it's more than likely that you're just dealing with a big bowl o' karma.

What an interesting blog article on American ideas about civil responsibility and the knee jerk reaction of Americans generally, and Conservatives specifically, to fear community welfare and immediately associate it with socialism or communism. It led to her asking “What are you so afraid of?”, and she received 5 specific groups of fears:

1. I’m scared of having to pay for other people’s laziness
2. I’m scared because I don’t trust my government or other people generally
3. I’m scared because socialism leads to authoritarianism
4. I’m scared because socialists and communists kill a lot of people
5. I’m not scared, socialism always fails

She has some good responses to these fears that I can’t do just to for a short attention span. Read the link if you want. I think these fears keep America from being a great and caring nation.

Why Are Americans and Conservatives So Afraid of Socialism?
I went a little bit viral on TikTok recently for voicing the unthinkable: I said that I like paying taxes. As you might imagine, the Americans and Conservatives in my comment section were shocked and appalled. The words communist and socialist were thrown around like insults, images of gulags and famine were invoked to prove some kind of vague and poorly-articulated point about freedom.

In contrast, the (predominantly western/northern) Europeans seemed to find my explanation pretty fair and even stopped to correct me on some of the finer points of Scottish, Scandinavian and German socialist democracy.

What shocked me, however, was not that so many Americans and Conservatives seemed to misunderstand fundamental aspects of civil life — like taxation — but that so many seemed so vehemently opposed to any suggestion that we should all contribute to the collective welfare of our countrymen.

Curiosity piqued, yesterday I made the mistake of asking Americans and Conservatives: “What is it about communism/socialism that scares you?” Here’s what they said.

I am scared because

- I don't need my ass wiped for me by government when I go to the bathroom
- Socialism is a way for politicians to amass political power
- Socialism trains the population to be lazy and unmotivated

You're begging for free shit. There you go, question asked, question answered. Oh happy, happy, joy, joy ...

Like non-existent voter fraud?

There is no such thing.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I remember being disgusted in elementary school because everyone had to stand up and read out of
a pre-selected book and some kids breezed right through the dumbed down drivel,

While others struggled like they were trying to read hieroglyphics or Sanskrit, tortuously struggling to get through a sentence or two, putting everyone through agony and excruciating pain as time stood still.

That was my introduction to socialism, making the best exist at the level of the worst, and doing neither
group, sharp or dull, any good at all.

Why do you lie so much?

So your want no roads, police, Military, Fire Depts...

If firefighters come to put fire out you would be "fruits of my labor stolen"...

Don't worry there would be no Courts or Prisons either...

Roads, police, military, fire departments, courts, and prisons existed long before Marx and Engels wrote "The Communist Manifesto" in 1847. In fact, they existed long before the 1789 French Revolution too, which was the origin of Socialism.

Now where the hell do you think all that money came from in order to build those roads, police, military, fire departments, courts, and prisons? Socialism? **** no. Those things were paid for by taxpaying citizens who generated that revue by way of capitalism. Those jobs, businesses, and companies were not created by the government.

The United States spent a half-century post-WWII obstructing Socialism Deluxe... a.k.a. Communism... so we've gotten into the habit... (a good one)...

I already provided the evidence, douchebag. I can't help it if you lack the capacity to commit logic.

According to you, low wage labor doesn't cause anyone to lose his job.

When did I say that?
