For you apparently. A metal working factory isn't competing against a restaurant. It's also hard to prove how it impacts the business, that's why there are zoning regulations. So it's no dice, still no logic or reason. I guess the name was an attempt to hide the fact that it isn't going to happen?Moreover, no one in a private law society is permitted to prohibit anyone else from using his property in order to enter any line of production and compete against whomever he pleases."
Difficult to grasp.... Lol
The winners and losers ratio will be 50/50 and those filing will look at previous cases so will choose accordingly. Also there's the matter of advertising and salesmanship. Who's the arbitrator of the arbitrator if no laws exist?The winner in a dispute won't, but the losers sure will. Furthermore, anyone who learns about the behavior of such an arbiter will decline to use them. Phhhhhttt, there goes their arbitration business.
What do you do when the government arbiter (the courts) hand down an unjust decision? In all decisions involving the government, the chance that the citizen will get an even break are indistinguishable from zero. The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the government virtually every time a case challenging federal power has come before it.
Your government solution isn't working.

They sue because they have a court system in place.No, it's not difficult to grasp how it affects the business. People sue companies all the time over such matters. Houston doesn't have any zoning laws, yet it still manages to be pleasant city to live in.

The word socialism doesn't have the stigma it once did. Schools have been successful in presenting it in a positive light so it's hard to believe using the word is the cause of increasing socialism in our society.A big mistake that conservatives have made is by badly over-using the terms "socialist" and "socialism", diluting them to the point of near irrelevance. Much like the way the liberals over-used the terms "racist" and "racism". Unfortunately, all these terms are important and do describe things, but the wingers on each end don't care.
By over-using the terms, conservatives have become the boy who cried wolf, and are providing liberals cover to push the country in the direction they really want, which is clearly a Euro-social democracy. In other words, many conservatives are literally, indirectly helping the liberals get precisely what they want.
This is why calm, reasonable, mature, honest conversation is so important, and why we remain in decay because of the lack of it.
I put a lot of the blame on media and pop culture where anything remotely conservative is lampooned and scoffed at.
Correct and correct.
The American Left has patiently but consistently changed American culture through education, media and popular culture over the last few decades, and the American Right has been an abject, feeble failure at stopping them. Pointing at the Left's actions and screaming "Socialism! Communism! Marxism!" clearly doesn't work and is making the Right look like reactionary clowns as the Left continues to turn the country into a Euro-social democracy.
My guess is that it's clearly too late, but if the Right wants to reverse this trend, it needs to improve its messaging skills by a factor roughly two thousand.

All these posts on socialism and each seems to define the word socialism to fit his own political beliefs. For some time America, as many nations is considered to have an economic system of capitalism and socialism. As someone once said, Americans liked socialist programs but hates the word. Can anyone give an accepted scholarly definition of socialism? Might be informative to also list all the different types. Wonder why Marx hated most forms of socialism but his own?
I'm not trying anything. I'm saying that isn't socialism. Using the term "elements of socialism" means that you don't think so either. Private health care is better than government health care, I've experienced it first hand. And private ed is kicking public ed's ass so even those "elements of socialism" is a big fail.Are you trying to claim that public education and Medicaid, etc., are not socialist programs, or are you conceding that Capitalism is better with elements of Socialism included?
I disagree. It is socialism.

Control of the means of production by the state or central authority.
If democrats completed a primary education, they would not be democrats......
They'd also be able to identify the three branches of government.

Most democrats think the three branches of government are the king, his ministers, and his subjects....

I don't see how we're turning Euro-social. Any examples?
The right is failing because it doesn't understand what is happening. There is an incremental cultural change that happens over time. It is inevitable and it cannot be stopped.

The right is failing because it doesn't understand what is happening. There is an incremental cultural change that happens over time. It is inevitable and it cannot be stopped. The smart move is not to try and stop the change but instead to guide it in the direction you want it to go. Given that the extreme right doesn't even understand the nature of the change they are left with nothing but outrage.
It might be too late for the reactionaries since they are incapable of comprehending how this works. But the next generation of conservatives are more open minded to change. They have grown up in a society where having your own personal stereo and music collection in your pocket is normal. Instant replays are normal. Being in constant contact with friends and family 24*7 is normal. Googling whatever you need at the moment is normal. Individually these are not "cultural changes" since they are technical innovations. But they have changed culture by making communications, interactions and information operate on a different level.
Those that embraced these changes were the ones who set the tone and the direction. Doesn't mean that what they did was right, simply that they were in the right place at the right time. If you want to influence American Culture you need to be part of the communication. If you don't then you get carried along instead of deciding the direction that you want to go.
The next wave of this change is upon us right now. School kids are being issued with tablets and the content on those will determine what they learn. If you are not in a position to influence what is on those tablets then there is nothing that you can do to change the direction. That is the challenge facing the right.
Yep, I think that's it in a nutshell. I guess you can't really stop or reverse something you don't see.
We didn't get here overnight.

The Right isn't failing because of that.
The Right lost in 2008 and 2012 do to the Dem's Catalist which microtargets the far left base (that often doesn't vote) - and gets them to the pools (with a list of what to vote for).
The cultural shift is FAR overstated due to the hijacking of government, education and media by progressives. Most of the country is still moderately conservative.

You give the Dems far too much credit in my opinion. They embraced technology and had better apps than the GOP for both of those elections but 2008 was a reaction election (as was 2010) and 2012 was a lucky break on the demographics.
The real cultural changes are happening on the dissemination of information on a daily basis. That is where you have to manage the messaging. You have a very small window in which the latest news is disseminated and how it is received. If you want to influence that message you need to be on top of it 24*7.
Under socialism, the state forces people to provide goods and services to others w/o compensation.
How can anyone look upon that favorably?
