Is defining what socialism really is all that tough?

[Lysistrata]

Stupid threat. Neither pure capitalism, socialism, nor marxism have done very well.

 

[percysunshine]

I just checked..I spelled 'quaint' correctly

I recommend a dictionary and some useage examples.

I recommend a brain transplant. It is your only hope.

Socialism is California in the early stages of Greece and France...........

Socialist say we are HERE TO SAVE YOU...........then while I pay less than $2.00 for gas here they pay over $3.00 to pay for their UTOPIA............Not just that they have the HIGHEST INCOME TAXES in the country..............along with the top brackets for Property taxes.............ALL TO HELP THE POOR..........LOL

Always saying they are the party of the people as they bend them over the hood of a car and screw them...........Stupidity in motion....

Now to be fair.........Texas has very high property taxes...........but they don't pay taxes on income.

Mic drop.......

How Much the Average House Costs in Each State | Reader's Digest

Yikes: The average home price in California is $713,887. California has never been a place for bargain hunters—supply typically outpaces demand in the Golden State. Perhaps things are slowing down: According to recent reports, June marked the slowest home sales month for California in four years. The state saw an almost 10 percent year-over-year drop in transactions. Even so, a prospective home buyer would need a salary of more than $221,000 to afford a home and living expenses there, according to Finder.com. See if you can nail this state nicknames quiz.



Pay that price for a home I'd call a dump in most cases............Then get raped by the state on property taxes.........making the home cost $400 plus a month more.............then wonder why people are living in tents..........Stupidity in motion.

Is an 867 billion dollar transfer of money socialism?

Trump signs $867 billion farm bill, tightening rules for food stamp recipients

Any taxpayer funded subsidy falls within the socialism column. What are you getting at?

How so . It doesn’t fit the definition you posted.

Government taking my cash and deciding where / how to spend it without my consent falls dead center of the definition posted. Think once Timmy.

Can you provide an example of the government that you advocate in the history of our planet that was successful.

our alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror are public sector "means of production".

Here in the USA socialism does not mean the state owns & controls every thing. here socialism means an effort to provide at some measure for the general welfare, that would include withholding lands from company's that want to clear cut forests, or cut off the tops of mt for coal. and save that land for national parks for us to vist.

Government is social-ism. The right wing has Nothing without their usual vacuums of special pleading. We have a Command Economy. Congress Commands fiscal policy and the Fed Commands monetary policy.

Perhaps a picture is necessary.
Housing prices are a function of supply and demand.

Socialism is about ensuring that the weak and the sick are taken care of.I can see how that would upset the loons on here.

Here's another definition of 21st Century socialism:

Democratic socialism - Wikipedia

"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production[1]with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of decentralized planned socialist economy.[2]

"Democratic socialists hold that capitalism is inherently incompatible with what they hold to be the democratic values of liberty, equality and solidarity; and that these ideals can only be achieved through the realization of a socialist society."

Why are conservatives blind to the fact capitalism is inherently incompatible with democracy?

Capitalism could be compatible with democracy, but not with our current system of funding political campaigns.

You takers fucked the perception and dynamic all up when you decided that good Americans should be required to feed your filthy illegal buddies from the dirty south.

REPUBLICAN:
John and his like-minded fellow villagers hunt and fish for hours a day on a daily basis to feed and provide for their families. They keep their family size to a minimum applying simple logic and knowing that resources are scarce.

DEMOCRAT:
Carlos Sanchez shows up to the village with his wife and seven children. Carlos ask's John and the other villagers if they would mind dropping by some of the days catch at his camp later. Carlos says "I'd help you guys but I will be way too busy sitting on my couch drinking Modello and making more babies...and I know you people are way to considerate to just stand by and watch my innocent family perish."

The problem is John and his like minded fellow villagers fish until there are hardly any fish left while and all that time pissing and shiting in the very pool they are fishing from. And while Carlos sits on his ass drinking Modello his seven kids all go to a public school and a public university and grow up to be engineers, lawyers, and doctors that end up paying for the retirement of John and his fellow villagers since they never saved two damn pennies to rub together, instead pissing away their money on ever larger cars.
