In the last century, socialism killed 100 MILLION people. But now we have a lot of radical left wing democrats that want to take us there again. Please explain.
There are no radical left wing democrats in the first place that want to take us there. Simply an ALT FACT by logical1.
LOL! One of the head candidiates is a big socialist. He spent his honeymoon in Russia......Bernie Sanders.
How does the Socialistic bureaucracy determine when their free flowing entitlements become an 'enabling' motivator for lethargy & a disincentive for 'productivity'...?
So, wanting free college and public healthcare is full-on communism??? How are you going to die from social benefits?
Demanding stuff that others worked hard for tends to kill the incentive to work hard. That's one way. Another is that central planning simply doesn't work, so you end up with lots of bodies and not enough body bags. See, it might seem like free stuff at first, but nothing is free. The piper must be paid, and the peasantry will pay in blood.
Why work hard when there is an easier way? Jealousy from the past is no reason to stick to the old, hard way.
Lots of thieves think the same way. Why work hard for something when you can steal it? This is one reason why we're going to keep our guns. They tend to complicate things for thieves considerably.
Ah..so the “left wing democrats” you speak of want to kill millions of people, do they? Curious, which ones specifically want to kill millions of people?
The ones old enough to realize that Santa Claus doesn't really live at the north pole, but they still want free stuff for christmas.
Tax is money stolen from somebody who worked hard for it. Not stealing something pays for itself because the thief gets nothing and the person who worked gets to keep what they own. Just try and focus on the concept of private property and it will make sense.
It's just that I know this little game you're trying to play. You know as well as I do that communism has resulted in millions and millions of dead, and those that weren't killed lived truly wretched lives. You don't want to address that, but rather want names. So I'll tell you your game plan. eca: name names! belch: Bob and Bill eca: when did they say they want to kill millions of people? belch: when they said they want free stuff. eca: no quotes? belch: here's a quote from Bob. "I want free stuff" eca: where does he say that he wants to kill people? belch: it's implied. eca: how is it implied. belch: it's implied because of the underlying threat to either give him free stuff, or there will be violence. eca: you're making things up. belch: am not eca: are too belch: am not eca: are too. See, I've played this game before. You know about all those people who died, but for some reason, you don't want to talk about them and why they died, so you start asking stupid questions that don't need to be answered. You know full well what the conversation is about, and it has nothing to do with Bob and Bill.
The past half century has worked so well for Cuba. They all live in socialism nirvana. Free school, free housing, free medical, and a job supplied. Russia helps a little, just keeps the citizens from starving. Give a Cuban a raft and watch him head for Miami leaving socialism behind. Are you listening and looking, democrats, leftists, Bernie and AOC?
I want you to name names because I know you can’t. No one in this country is looking to be a dictator who rules with an iron thumb killing off people. It’s asinine for you and anyone else to suggest such. There is a reason the founding fathers set up checks and balances. I would have thought you knew this.
First take power, the killing comes next because people find out that their money is going to be taken too and they don't like it.
