The "horrors" of Socialism Explained

Should I explain supply chains, marketing and affordability? You really want to have that discussion? I have a good 200 or so links with 100,000 words ready to bury that asinine assertion of yours. What you believe is true for you does not follow for the other 330,000,000+ people in this country, and it is beyond foolish - not to mention arrogant - for you to even think of asserting that it is.

 

Sorry, I feed myself with the foods I choose. I don't choose fast foods or processed foods loaded with trans-fats and high fructose corn syrup.

 

Good for you. Doesn't mean everyone else can make the same choice. Doesn't mean you will always have that choice, either.

Also doesn't mean your claim isn't utter BS and you're just blowing smoke on the internet while eating a Hot Pocket, Cheetos and Mountain Dew...

 

Any person can choose to avoid fast foods and processed foods.

 

You're wrong. Embarrassingly wrong.

 

Huh? You're saying that it's impossible for any person to avoid fast foods and processed foods?

 

Civil strife can do that. 1929 was pretty Bad, too.

 

i believe we would have less homelessness and a more efficient economy by solving for capitalism's natural rate of unemployment on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States.

 

But that wasnt socialism....

 

Thats not socializm either

 

it was worse, in my opinion. it is why we got more socialism rather than freer markets.

 

special pleading the term socialism makes you less credible. i thought you were about solutions not excuses. you need to come up with actual economic explanations or solutions not just claim "socialism" is the problem--otherwise, simply using the Other Peoples' tax money is Socialism.

 

LOL...You are bragging about being a "cut and paste" intellectual? 200 links and 100,00 words?

Compiling an overabundance of biased links isn't impressive. What is impressive is being able to put together a strong argument in your own words followed by a CREDIBLE link or two to support any asserted points of fact that you made during that argument. The only thing that is accomp[lished by providing 200 links is that nobody is going to bother going through the trouble of even looking at all 200 links. Overwhelmingly likely, neither have you, although I'm sure you will probably claim that you have.

 

1; How does support or non-support of Israel make someone capitalist of communist. Also, why is it better to turn a blind eye to atrocities committed by Israel? Do you support their forced evictions of thousands of families from their homes so they can be stolen by Israeli settlers? Cause it sounds like you do.

2; I haven't really seen anyone supporting Muslims over Americans. Apparently, not hating Muslims because their Muslim automaticlly means to hate America

3; I support a mixed economy....capitalism and socialism....You are.....what the US has had historically.

4; I support police until they prove themselves corrupt. The only support a corrupt cop deserves is the bullet gojng through their head. And the same goes for cops who knowingly lie for the dirty ones. (this happens alot.....cops have the same "don't snitch" mentality that criminals do, and it's often considered more important to protect an obviously dirty cop than to bring them to justice) And I find it halarious that Republicans who have spent the last 3 year attacking the FBI for investigating possible corruption would have the gull to tell anyone that they hate law enforcement.

5; Hmmmmm which party is it that keeps rewarding outsourcers with tax breaks and subsidies? Cause it's not the Democrats......

6; Again....it's not the democrats who want to deregulate the stock market and allow wall street banks to go back to their BS which caused the Great Recession....That ones on you.

7; I fully support removing illegals, if we can afford it....But it would cost A LOT more money to deport all illegals (not just the hispanic ones, for the white ones from europe, and the asians as well.) than we would be saving. It's much easier to deport the ones who are criminals, and let the ones who have no criminal records stay, especially the ones who were brought in as children, and know no other home.

8; I believe you mean secularism. Most democrats support the separation of church and state, while most Republicans want a christian theocracy.....You support religious freedom until the moment it means you can't force your religion on others.....

 

We're the freest nation on earth because with freedom comes responsibility and we recognize that. There IS freedom to fail and we don't expect others to pay for it at the point of a gun (taxes)

 

Then I would welcome your absence.

 

No....it's healthy, hardworking, productive, living.

 

No....it's healthy, hardworking, productive, living.

 

No amount of hard work could save Capitalism in 1929.

 

Oh, I see, the glass is always half empty. My family came out of it fine. It's a different point of view. Some just like to suckle at the teat of government.

 

Everybody came out of it fine, mostly; due to all of the socialism involved. We even got Hoover Dam out of it.

 

Nice try...

 

Any? No. Every? In an economy where people routinely have to choose between paying for food vs. medicine, gas to get to work, health care, utilities and rent, because it's financially impossible to cover all at the same time? Oh f*ck yes. Anyone claiming otherwise isn't living within basic reality, or is just cynically trolling.

Note: just one American in that position shoots your entire premise to shiite, and we have over 39 million Americans who face that reality every effin' day.

 

Fast food is more expensive than a 10 lb bag of rice and a 10 lb bag of kidney beans?

 

Yet, capitalism is alive and well today, which is more than can be said for socialism...
