Lefties explain our institutions are examples of Socialism; then cry that you dont know the meaning

[DrDoomNGloom]

If the Right doesn't want this, it had better start formulating a clear argument along those lines pretty quickly.

I thought the argument was pretty clear, socialism = left wing = Stalin, Mao etc. = pure evil

And it's clear the indoctrination works, did you notice any question about income equality during the "debate"? They simply don't even care.

No, income inequality is a buzz word of the left most intelligent people equate to too stupid to compete in today's job market.

I understand the shame of you folks being too fucking ignorant to fill high tech jobs of today, but catchy little phrase's that pacify the dim witted mind of the ignorant only makes you look even stupider to those of us who understand.

With "most intelligent people" you mean CEO's and banksters who get millions in well deserved bonusses while crying that raising the minimum wage will bankrupt them, right?

Oh, I understand pefectly comrade. You're quite happy with wallmart employees needing food stamps to survive while the Waltons are worrying wether to buy a new yacht or another mansion.

So your stance is that you are ignorant fucks who want others with compassion to take care of your ignorant lazy asses???

You have 2 sympathy plays for ignorant butthurt whiny ass bitches like you and no substance to your fucking moronic argument.

Hate the corporate tycoons and those who are intelligent

We's ignorant but we's some hating fucking bitches ................

Socialism is what made the US number one, right?

Number one in what exactly? The largest debt in human history, the most guns per citizen, the most expensive military, the most prisoners?

Sorry, but I don't think you can blame socialism for that

you are right; socialism is merely capitalism, leveraged. it is bad management that is the problem.

 

[danielpalos]

Really how give us an example of how capitalist have introduced socialist institutions.

the capital market failure of 1929.

 

[kiwiman127]

Interestingly, I have seen quite a few articles that points to the style of capitalism that got it's beginnings in the 80s as the culprit of the economic inequality and the kicker for the US's economic instability.
"What Capitalism Has To Fear From Inequality" recently appeared in the NY Times and various other major newspapers, which include the opinions of major business leaders.
"Does Donald Trump Have A Point" recently appeared in Forbes. Both pieces echo the same point.
Also the World Bank and IMF and quite a few economists have stated that income/wealth inequality are dragging down the economy.
The point is, currently our style of capitalism is counter productive and has contributed towards the downward slide of the US. Much like Greece's style of socialism contributed to Greece's economist failure.

What's the problem comrade, is it our fault you're too stupid to understand the benefits of socialism?

Socialism is what made the US number one, right?

Big part of it.

Really Bullpup? So the farther left we go the worse things get and you think that's what made us great? Your thought masters have done well.

That's the best you can do? You grew up with a few words that sounded scary, like communism, and socialism, and, in your case, probably fluoride. Now people are beginning to see that socialism isn't just a scary word, but has a specific meaning and doesn't always mean the same thing as bad. Too bad you aren't smart enough to figure that out.

I see examples of it everyday. I see how it's moving a productive society to an entitlement mentality. Some of the best examples are government employees, fat, stupid, lazy, socialist minded and quite arrogant about it. If you want to see what socialism does to people look no farther than local government employees.

 

[danielpalos]

OK, couple of things here.

What specifically do you dislike about socialism, and how does that differ from the way we run current social programs? Don't give me slippery slope or some other weasel excuse. What specifically do you dislike about socialism and how does that differ from the way we run current social programs?

Which socialist program is NOT in trouble?

OK, couple of things here, EPA, OSHA, the clean water you drink and student aid. Secondly, I find it funny that right-wing folks act as though social programs are bankrupting this country, not the unnecessary TRILLIONS spent in foreign wars. The amount we give out in bailouts of "corporate welfare" TRIPLES the amount we pay for personal welfare, food stamps, social security etc.. As for Greece being a failed example of socialism Greece was the primary victim of the 2008 financial crisis when countries of the world shifted their problems around and they landed on Greece. The idea that socialism is what caused Greece to fail is borderline retarded. Since the world governments have been calling for austerity in Greece (the cutback of wages, benefits, social programs etc. ) things in Greece went from slow recovery to a complete landslide back into worse economic chaos. To look for a state that has had more socialism for quite some time and uses it to the benefit of all successfully you have Finland and Denmark to just name two. And while we are at I suppose that you blame social programs for every major financial collapse in America? Who cares that it stems from unregulated, risky banking tactics.

EPA? The same fuckups that turned a river into a heavy metal soup? OSHA is unrealistic and adds a lot of cost to construction that we all pay for. Those should be state run, not federal.

The cost of the wars is dwarfed by entitlement spending and it's growing exponentially. It is not sustainable and blaming the evil right wing won't solve it.

Greece spend themselves into bankruptcy, the retard is YOU.

We spend less than 100 billion a year on entitlements, almost 6 trillion in perpetual warfare, 380 billion in corporate warfare, its unclear whether you don't know what the word "dwarfs" means or if you don't get basic math like what is the bigger number

you mean like our extra-Constitutional wars on crime, drugs, poverty, and terror?

What is unequal, we both have the same opportunities for education.

We both have the same chance for jobs based on qulifications.

Explain this catch phrase "income inequality" and tell us why society has any need to meddle in the labor force.

I mean you people throw those phrases around like they have some significance to them.

Once again, please explain.

Socialism can correct for capitalism's, Darwinism by promoting the general welfare.

The EPA and OSHA dole money out to the public??

When one is so fucking ignorant they try to run a lie like that, it kills their credibility.

Now ever time I see your name, no need to read that ignorant, lying sack of poos crap, will be the first thought that comes to mind.

That's what you think socialism is? If money is distributed to any section of the public, you think it is socialism, but if not, it isn't socialism? You are an idiot.

Sure, I'll have a go. While minimum wage has barely risen because of corporate lobbying and the delusion that all hell will break loose with prices, inflation has increased higher than the rate of pay increases tremendously since 1970s. Example: in any given year the general rate of inflation can be found by many top economists to be around 4%, and for years pay increases given by companies, if any, range far below that, so, year after year, general worker pay has steadily decreased while the price of everything else has increased. That's why today's skilled workers are making about the equivalent of minimum wage workers in the seventies. And today's minimum workers are making the equivalent of an amount it was illegal to pay people. A corporations job is to find the way to make the most money, they aren't evil that's just how they work. That can and does include figuring out how to decrease the amount that they pay for employees. The gap has grown between rich and middle class as a direct result of this discrepancy. Look at any number of studies that show the richest in this country have never made more money and the average American worker has never made less. The solution is fairly simple, raise minimum wage along with inflation. And before you spew that crap about prices raising all over the place, I would like to think a right wing conservative understands market forces, yes? While prices may all raise superficially at first, many companies will realize if they take a cut in one time transaction profits (which most can easily afford) they will corner more of the market. So there, please challenge that.

You'd be very hard pressed to find any economist that would agree with you regarding your statement about the reality of inequality. Maybe you can find some highly far right ideologue economist that might agree with and that person would make up less than 1% of all economists.

EPA rules prevent pollution, and OSHA is the main reason construction has any safety standards at all. Tell any construction worker you want to take away OSHA, and you will have a fight on your hands.

So you ramble about inflation but not a cost of living wage increase.

Do you think government is supposed to come in and mirror the inflation rate every year with a minimum wage adjustment??

There is no relevance to this section, what point are you trying to convey.

Employees, especially union members get yearly raises though contract negotiations, failure to keep up with inflation is not the employers fault, they are not responsible for the inflation, the government and it's policies are.

You claim the American worker has never made less, but not accounting for inflation pay rates for workers are the highest they have ever been in history.

You are just not real bright are you??

So you want to raise minimum wage and inflation.

You do realize that one would offset the other correct??

No too fucking stupid for that.

Go back again zero take another bite here you ain't no fucking hero for sure.

Oh by the way demand for labor sets market prices for wages.

[SuperDemocrat]

the Left lectures that all our publicly run programs and institutions are examples of Socialism we already have. then they demand MORE OF THAT, and FIGHT any attempt to privatize anything. Then the same left-wingers that lecture on what socialism is STILL CRY that you "dont know what socialism is" even after THEY told you what it was.

what's up wit that?

They fuckin lie when they say "we are not socialist". It's the only explanation. Most aware to afraid to admit that openly so they lie about it.
