The Problem with Socialism

[Dale Smith]

This book should be required reading in the p-schools, but we all know it won't.

From the author of 'The Real Lincoln'...one of the greatest history books ever written. It should also be required reading for all Americans, but we all know it won't.

Remember when "socialism" was a dirty word? Now students at America's elite universities are parroting socialist talking points and "sure-thing" Hillary Clinton is struggling to win the Democratic nomination against a 74-year-old avowed socialist who promises to make the nation more like Europe. What's happened? Do Americans need a reminder about the dangers of socialist ideology and practices?

Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor and senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, deconstructs the retrograde ideology that has suddenly become disturbingly hip in The Problem with Socialism.

Make sure you read the other important work, The Problem with Capitalism.

You haven't seen real capitalism in your lifetime...nor your parents. You haven't the slightest clue of what actual system we are under and have been for 102 plus years...but you are gonna learn the hard way.....you can bank on that.

The paranoia of people like you is not our actual system.

It's not paranoia...it's a fucking fact and if you had any intellectual curiosity? You would look into the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of 1933, gold confiscation and then the IMF taking USA.INC into receivership to provide the alleged "19 essential gubermint services" that they do as a part of a "for profit" venture....it is a fact.

Go back to sleep, lil fella.......the language and terms I use taxes your lack of intellect and why you are not able to grasp the very concepts of which I speak......tis a pity....

I've read up on your version of crazy. Insanity, for the insane.

Nope, simply too many multi-syllable words with no knowledge of Black's Law dictionary....6th edition...this home boy has it going on and it irks ya. Rise above it....I should be charging the board for the information I am laying down....seriously. you remeind me of Florida drivers that think they are entitled to the whole fucking freeway...damdest think I have ever seen.

Socialism vs. capitalism: Which is the moral system?

What's moral about paying people as little as possible, if you can get away with it?

What was moral about using child labor, even chaining them to the machines they worked on?

I sincerely hope it was your "research" and not this rabid frothy-mouthed dogmatism that led you away from having a life and/or any type of social life as you confesed once, Dale.

I drive in my lane, and when I read paranoid crap from insane people, I call it what it is.

Jesus is just a way to beat death. His teachings don't matter to them.

I wonder, does Dale drive? This could be a concern.

They wrung quite a bit out of Manifest Destiny, and still try to, we call it "exceptionalism" now.

What makes this place an exception, they want to do away with. People being treated as equals upsets them, they are no longer on top.

Every advanced country in the world has incorporated elements of socialism into its system of government and the world hasn't come to an end.

What do you want to eliminate? Public education? Social Security? Medicaid? State and local highway departments?

Give us your list.

The problem is never in history has it ever worked and for some reason idiots keep trying it

Public education has never worked?

Their list is simple, eliminate anything that doesn't personally benefit them.

As per usual with any of those espousing this imprinted rhetoric, anything that impacts those people, but not me.

Imagine the gluttonous NFL without team owners leveraging socialism to erect their palaces.

Imagine the gluttonous NFL without team owners leveraging socialism to erect their palaces.

If pro football was actually capitalist, there would be only two teams and it would be played in farmer's field. Only its socialist nature allowed it to become what it is.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

If you don't know the problems of capitalism, then you don't know capitalism.

I've been one for 30 plus years owning my own business. What I do know is a dumb fuck loser when I run across one.

What you know isn't capitalism. Anyone who does doesn't think it doesn't have problems.

Right, I need some dimwit on the internet to bring me up to speed. I'll stick with reality.

Actually you're working very hard to avoid it.

The only problem with socialism as it applies to the american economic system is that we don't want those little people to get the idea that they should get in on it too.

Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street bankster class
Internalized profits versus externalized risk and expense for the “job creator” class
Socialism for the aristocracy versus laissez faire capitalism for the masses

This is the current american paradigm.

Smearing and insults is all you have, like I said. Anyone with a backbone can make it in this country. If you can't make it here you can't make it anywhere. Don't blame capitalism for your failures.

I think it's a toss-up, who has made the most consistently ridiculous comments and insulted so many people in such a short space of time....Jack4jill or Fenton Lum.

And we pray to our Lord
Who we know is American
He reigns from on high
He speaks to us through middlemen
And He shepherds His flock
We sing out and we praise His name
He supports us in war
He presides over football games
And the right will prevail
All our troubles shall be resolved
We hold faith above all
Unless there's money or sex involved

Frail grasp on the big picture
Nobody's calling them for roughing up the kicker
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Heaven help us

Apologies to Don Henley

Neither of them are capable of staying on topic. They've both struggled with that in their short time on the forum
