All that occurred with republicans in charge.Government telling businesses when and how they can operate. Shelves emptying out at the stores. Trading your job for a thousand dollar stipend.
We should have more of this according to the left.
So republicans are giving us a preview of socialism?

Gee, why isn't capitalism preventing it - instead of begging for corporate welfare - again?
Because this is what happens when you open the public treasury to private enterprise & individuals. They will continuously want more until they bleed to whole system dry. It's why every socialist country inevitably fails.

Typical right wing point. Scary looking picture, but no idea what the caption might be.
It says what you say. Its communist propaganda..not just a scary looking picture. It attacks both religion and capitalism...like you do. Its a cunning poster in that the script imitates the script of Orthodox Icons.
I suppose this is why you people want to undermine history teaching. Thi isnt a "scary picture". This is a weapon of war used against free societies...and you parrot the dictators.
It says...
Top Caption: Priests help the capitalists and hinder the worker.
Bottom Caption "get out of the way (or "off you go")
On the right it says: "In the name of the Lord God:
submit, obey, do not kill"
On the left the priest are saying "In the name of the Lord God:
pacify slaves, make them submissive,"
And the top hat the repulsively bloody and fat leader is wearing? It is labeled "CAPITAL"
And BULLDOG moans "oh be still my heart..."
Any more questions?
Just . one. Why would you post such a dump picture when you know no one could read the captions, dumb ass?
Don’t say “nobody” when you are speaking of your own ignorance. The reason I posted it, and the other, was to demonstrate your communist leanings. You aren’t saying anything the Bolsheviks didn’t say. In fact you parrot Soviet and Chinese Propaganda almost verbatim.
The poster is recognized by anyone with a reasonable education as Soviet propaganda aimed at capitalism. Both posters use the standard Communist tropes, stereotypes and caricatures that were used against America during the entire Cold War.
In fact you aren’t upset you didn’t recognize them. You are upset how obviously they demonstrate where your communist heart is. Americans put up with the same attacks you use today for the entire duration of the Cold War.
You really are a windbag, aren't you?
You just showed the forum how dumb, bigoted and ignorant you are.Basically. That's how dumb and ignorant the rightwingers are.The right wing believe all
Good Programs must be Capitalism
Bad Programs must be Socialist...
So Roads are needed, Roads are good. Therefore Roads are capitalist...
Hitler was bad, therefore Hitler must be socialist...
Also sunny days are capitalist and visit to the dentist in socialist...
Life is simple for these boys...
In truth life is a balance, and both capitalist and socialist are needed for an optimal society and getting that balance right is what creates great societies...
Unregulated Captialism is just as bad as Communism.
Regulated Capitalism and Social Democracy can be hard to tell apart the are so similar...
That isn't how capitalism is defined, dumbass.Capitalism holds solutions to all our problems is a given for right wingers. Everything has always been boiled down to "CAPITALISM GOOD --- SOCIALISM BAD", yet the only steps we are taking are things that the right has condemned as anti-American for years. Not a single capitalist idea in the batch . Why not? Surely some of the smart right wingers here have figured out several ways that capitalism can easily get us beyond this problem. Here's your chance. Show us how capitalism can solve this.

I didn't read your entire list. Since capitalism is defined as competition with the goal of profit, trim your list to only include examples of competition with the goal of profit and resubmit it.
Not really. Capitalism only requires that an enterprise is privately run. Coops are part of capitalism.The government is already spending tens of billions on it, so how would any private corporation make any money on it?Capitalism has been distorted and perverted since Reagan first said "Government is the problem", which was taken as gospel.Capitalism holds solutions to all our problems is a given for right wingers. Everything has always been boiled down to "CAPITALISM GOOD --- SOCIALISM BAD", yet the only steps we are taking are things that the right has condemned as anti-American for years. Not a single capitalist idea in the batch . Why not? Surely some of the smart right wingers here have figured out several ways that capitalism can easily get us beyond this problem. Here's your chance. Show us how capitalism can solve this.
Real capitalists have a great respect for both its strengths and weaknesses, and they realize that (a) efficient and effective controls and regulations are a critical component of capitalism, not the bane of capitalism, and (b) there are things that capitalism is simply not equipped to do on a macro scale.
The phonies have talked themselves into a corner on this, bragging about Trump's economy as government spending exploded and the NY Fed poured half a TRILLION into markets to grease the system. Now, they're looking to the government to bail us out. Again.
Not much credibility with the phonies.
.
"Now, they're looking to the government to bail us out"
Actually, they're looking for those evil capitalists to bail us out...You see, BULLDOG there is no 'socialism' without capitalism.
I don't see the goal of profit getting us through this any time soon. If you do, then please list it. That's what this thread is about.
Profit is a requirement for it to be a capitalist solution.
Where did this fucking thing come from?Capitalism holds solutions to all our problems is a given for right wingers. Everything has always been boiled down to "CAPITALISM GOOD --- SOCIALISM BAD", yet the only steps we are taking are things that the right has condemned as anti-American for years. Not a single capitalist idea in the batch . Why not? Surely some of the smart right wingers here have figured out several ways that capitalism can easily get us beyond this problem.
