The Socialism boogeyman

Quote me, please. Back up your words.
You are attacking conservatives for believing that dems are falling under the spell of an ugly venezuala-style socialism

based on what?

what, other than your vast confidence in your own infallibilty tells you that the dems are so wonderful and Trump voters are so wrong?

i think the dems are far too incompetent, and the dem base far too ignorant to avoid the venezuela trap

The right wing in America has used the term Socialism as a scare tactic for decades, but it's not working anymore. The American economy has functioned with a mixture of Socialism and Capitalism for many years i.e the hundreds of billions in free money the American government pays out to corporate America as subsidies, grants and other corporate welfare goodies are a pure form of Socialism. One could also make the case that tax credits, automatic rollover defence contracts and Federal Deposit insurance are also forms of Socialism. Millennials now associate Socialism with Scandinavia, and not the old USSR.

America has cooled a little on capitalism. This is hardly surprising when you consider how the American form of Capitalism has failed ordinary Americans. The poorest men in the US have the same life expectancy as men in Sudan. Maternal mortality more than doubled between 1991 and 2014. The middle class has shrunk. People are desperate for an alternative to an increasingly dismal status quo.

Sorry Republicans - Your Socialism boogeyman is not scaring people anymore.


They used "socialist" for a long time, and finally realized that, not only did it no longer scare anybody, but it probably backfired and made many people more interesting in hearing about socialism. Too funny.

They stuck on Marxism for a time, and now they're pretty much stuck on "commie" and communism, like modern-day Archie Bunkers.

I've also seen them say that the devil himself is involved, and I very much wonder where they take it from here. I mean, where the hell (no pun intended) can they go from here?

Of course, all they're doing is scaring themselves and each other, as usual, while the rest of us smile and roll our eyes.
The populace has been indoctrinated for years that capitalism is unjust and the Founding Fathers were slave owners, thus the country and Constitution needs to go and be replaced by socialism.

But the history of Marxism is never taught in terms of the death and destruction it has caused, murdering and oppressing millions more last century than any other ideology.

So with such vast ignorance, no wonder the term no longer scares them.
Not to mention the gross misapplication of capitalism by the ignorant Right, which has played completely into everything the Left is doing.

That's led to the inequities and fraud that has turned so many people away from capitalism.

The REAL socialists should be sending the Right Thank You cards.
Could you provide an example of the "gross misapplication of capitalism?

What turns people away from capitalism is the constant lying about it by turds like you who don't even know what it is.
I will now only (try to) discuss this issue with Trumpsters if they have the formal training and/or formal education and/or sufficient financial designations to discuss it like an intelligent, informed adult.

If you'd like, you may provide yours for my consideration.

And sorry, "I heard it on Rush" does not qualify.
In other words, you aren't going to discuss it. You just made it known that you're a pretentious jackass who believes he's superior to his critics.

It's not a good look.
I'll await your information.

Why don't you provide your information. BTW, I don't care if you are a Phd in economics, I want to know your real world success story. Nobody with common sense cares about professors at universities who are all about theory but don't have a pragmatic bone in their body. I now laugh at some of the professors I had in college who are now likely still carrying a book bag around campus like teenagers while I have less formal education than them but are doing much better financially. Sure glad I didn't follow their expert advice, thats for sure.

So you can't back up your words. You said "But you with all your vast superior knowledge know that dems will lead America to a Norway-style socialist nirvana".

You attack out of pure ignorance, so your words mean nothing.

Boring.

20+ years in the industry, a long list of credentials, neck deep in this stuff every day.

You don't see me in an automotive forum lecturing and attacking mechanics for the way they rebuild a transmission, nor do you see me on a computer forum lecturing and attacking techs for the way they code.

Why not? Because I don't know SHIT about those topics.

You Trumpsters can pretend to know what you're talking about all day. I'm just not required to participate. Enjoy.
 
You attack out of pure ignorance, so your words mean nothing.
And you attack based on pure hate for trump voters

its very unlikely that a violent overthrow of capitalism is going to lead to Scandinavian socialism in America

I'm sure your victimhood and paranoia keep you warm at night.

I don't give a shit. Sorry.
 
When I hear some wacko complain how bad social security and Medicare are even though they've helped millions upon millions of americans they immediately lose all credibility.
Sorry, turd, but SS has screwed 100 people for every person it has "helped."
You believe you are right simply because you are on the right wing.

I believe I am right because I am smart and can think for myself. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where that the left's ideas are short-sighted at best.

I dont accept your knee-jerk criticism of trump supporters

In spite of your illusions of non-partisan grandeur, you are a very predictable shill for the left
 
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where that the left's ideas are short-sighted at best.
And far more likely to lead to a Venezuela-soviet union style socialism than Norway style socialism

You and the article doesn't have a clue what socialism is.

Socialism scares everyone who knows what it means

which is that not everyone has to contribute to their own needs

Under socislism if someone does not want to work they dont have to
... and you guys tell each other that Democrats want us to be like Venezuela.

That's because you have been conned. You have been fooled. Led astray.

Maybe one day you'll figure that out. Probably not any time soon, though.

Talk about irony...

Democrats don't want us to be like Venezuela, but that is where their policies ultimately lead. They are simply too ignorant to realize it. I am not.
