42% of Democrats are in Favor of Socialism

[Iceweasel]

State ownership isn't a broad definition. It's been watered down to sell to the masses while capitalism has been demonized.

What you people fail to understand is that socialism doesnt necessarily mean the absence of capitalism. A mixed economy is what it is. Our defense budget is biggest socialist institution in the world.

Bernie Sanders, for instance, has said nothing about ending capitalism. That isn't even close what his platform is.

No, that's not what socialism is. It means the government owns the means of production. Having a government and military isn't socialism or all countries would be socialist.

The US is a mixed economy whether you like it or not. The government owning the production of our huge war machine is exactly what socialism is. And yes, strictly speaking, every country on has some degree of socialism. The concept of socialism exists everywhere. I seriously doubt most of that 42% of dems want to get rid of our private market system.

Defense contractors bid for government contracts. Not Socialism.

Um no that's still socialism.

Uhm no, private contractors are not publicly owned.

Those contracts are owned by the US government. The private production of those materials become ownership of the US government. There's no getting around that.

Did you know that, through bribing congress, the big pharmaceutical will NOT allow for Medicare to bid for lower costs?..

Now THAT is true capitalism.....Nice, isn't it?

Um, no. If the government controlled the sector there would be no bidding.

Socialism is taxpayer funds being used collectively to benefit society as a whole, despite income, contribution, or ability.
The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not.

You have no idea what you're talking about do you? Contracts aren't owned by anyone.

It doesn't matter if the government controls the bidding. The production is directed toward benefiting the government. That's socialism.

Despite all the nuttiness in the GOP, this is a big reason why I'm a Republican.

Many Democrats are feeling the love for socialism.

More than four in 10 Democrats say they have a favorable opinion of socialism, according to a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults released in January by data and research firm YouGov; this percentage is nearly identical to what the researchers found in May of last year. Meanwhile, only about one in three say they have an unfavorable opinion of the ideology. ...

On the whole, nearly half of all Americans say they have an unfavorable opinion of socialism, the YouGov survey revealed.​

42% of Democrats are in favor of socialism

Republicans love socialism. Tea Baggers show up at rallies to defend it with great hostility. "Keep the government's hands off my medicare!"

Its easy, if you are against socialism, and we aren't talking about ACTUAL socialism where the government owns the means of production, we are just talking about quasi-socialism re social type programs, then stop using the roads, stop asking the police to help you, or the USDA making sure your food is safe to eat, or doctors are properly trained and certified, or architects are properly trained, or any other program where the collective money of the entire population pays for 99.99999% of it but YOU get to use it too.

Don't whine, bitch, complain, foam at the mouth, just stop using all those things. Build your own roads, and bridges, hospitals, and military with your own money.

Because if you use any of those things you are a socialist. All of human existence is in one way or another socialistic.

OF society. Cons just like to lie to themselves that they are 'rogue', an island that doesn't need help from anyone. First step, stop using the roads. Your entire salary your whole life couldn't pay for 1/2 mile of road. Stop using that socialistic institution.

Another genius slithers in. The people pay for government employees to do xyz. Getting them to hire road builders, for example, isn't socialism. Your theory makes all nations socialist and makes the word useless.

I'm surprised the number isn't higher considering the way they vote.

I think some want complete socialism, not just a few more government programs. Then there are those who want all out communism. I'd like to see a poll done on that.

Not surprising that nearly half of Americans have an unfavorable view of socialism. The half that already supports the other half knows that things will only get worse.
