What Makes Socialism So Attractive?

[Brain357]

Especially to the young?

Why are the young so enamored with Socialism/Communism/Liberalism?
It may not be what seems to be the answer, free stuff.

The Answer may be something inherent to the human condition: a desire to be unique, and independent, and to make your own rules, and not have to answer to anyone else.



1.When Albert Camus wrote “The Rebel,” he put his finger on an aspect of human nature that most of us have, more so as youth, but, still, throughout our lives. We yearn to stand out, to be different, …we see it when the prettiest girl runs off with the ‘bad boy,’ or when the wild haired radical is the one everyone is talking about. True, family, and the desire for success often smooths the edges off, moderates how ‘different’ one chooses to be, and sometimes, later on, when we’ve given up most of that rebellion, we might come to resent those who actually carry it off…..but in our youth, we have it.

It’s all about the degree and desire to rebel.

2. Freud claimed he could document and explain that need to rebel, relating it to a biological phenomenon…. “The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes” The Rebel Instinct: How Each Generation's Need To Out-Rebel The Previous Generation Is Pushing Society To Wild Extremes

But whether it is psychological or biological…….it appears, most significantly, to be political.




3. A tip of the hat to Freud: there is no disputing the desire to stop taking orders from parents. OK. But it grows, in many, to the desire to not have to show respect, take orders from, or to mirror the style and tradition of an older, more successful generation. Perhaps the claim that socialists/communists are all about greed, to take from the successful without the work that went into that success...’You didn’t build that!’ …isn’t just to get the material things…


........it’s the psychological reward of rebellion.


Perhaps the rebel wants to gain that success by a different path, one that doesn’t require looking like, sounding like, and behaving like, our elders, that explains the 50% of Democrats who are socialists. Enter Bernie Sanders, stage Left.




Now…..get this, the fly in their ointment:

The problem for those rebels is that they have given up the intellect and the education that reveals what Socialism, Communism, Progressivism produces for societies, always:

....serfs, slaves….or corpses.

I think the reason is simple

liberals are ignorant of history and human nature

Was the trump farmer bailout socialism? We don’t have good capitalism. Socialism seems ok compared to cronyism.

When you were blaming trump for the steel layoffs I asked to explain why and you never did

you have to answer my question before asking me a question

I did and that’s a different thread. Try to keep up, trumpers are slow.

The problem as the "socialists" see it is income inequality.
Why should Bloomberg have $62b and they are in debt and are working for slave wages?
Why should the US devolve toward a few hundred "oligarch billionaires" and the rest of us "peons"?
We must band together to set things right, we must tax the rich and distribute the income more fairly.
IMHO the Republicans can't keep winning elections, so what happens when the democrats eventually win?

/—-/ Get a decent paying job and pay for your own stuff.

 

[Thinker101]

Sure they were. That so called literacy program was a political reeducation program. Don't repeat what they want to hear and you got shot.

Well that is what the wild men over at the GOP propaganda machine say. Can't find it anywhere else.
Fact-checking Bernie Sanders' claim on Cuba literacy under Castro
Claim: “When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program.”
Claimed by: Bernie Sanders
Fact check by PolitiFact: Mostly True

Didn't read your link did you dumbass. They clearly admit the literacy program was used for propaganda purposes, you stupid little hater dupe...

I am shocked shocked. But there's nothing about re-education camps or the other BS they're going on about on the propaganda machine. Nothing Sanders is talking about has not been done in every other modern rich country. Try Canada they have basically free University and healthcare of course and the living wage and daycare paid parental leave great infrastructure and vacations. You are all brainwashed fear-mongered functional morons.....

Yep, free healthcare...dumbass.

'Free' Health Care in Canada Costs More Than It's Worth

I didn't mean free healthcare I meant free University basically. Something is wrong with your link. All I know is no other rich country spends more than 60% of what we do on healthcare and get better results. That anyway we have plenty of MRI machines and the catscans that they don't have enough of in Canada. Because they've had conservative governments.... Like the UK

I see, although you SAID free University and healthcare. You're a fricken idiot.

[dudmuck]

As always you are talkin about communism not the European Canada Australia style socialism Sanders and everybody is talking about outside the bubble of GOP bologna. Bounce back

The only difference between socialism and communism is whether the guns are loaded.

So are NRA members socialists or communists?

Why are you such a moron?

Is the NRA a political program?

You associated guns with economic systems.

If the distinction between socialism and communism are loaded guns. Then the NRA is determining factor.

Gads, you're a moron.


So much so, that you imagine (I almost said 'think') that you need prove it each and ever day.


Trust me on this: once folks have seen your posts.....the opinions remain eternal.

You could try to correct my error instead of just insulting. Try to be helpful and contribute.

 

[2aguy]

No...moron. If you take all the wealth, those who can create wealth will stop.....and the economic and social decline will create widespread poverty......as you see in Venezuela....then the mass graves happen......

What I see in Venezuela is the west inflicting 20 years of economic warfare on them because they picked an economic system we don't like. It's like if I broke both of your legs with a baseball bat and then mocked you for not being able to run a marathon.

Guy, we ALREADY have widespread economic and social decline since Reagan... I would LOVE to have the kind of middle class lifestyle my Dad had with his union job and his high school education. How about we bring THAT back.

That's bullcrap......was wealthy before they voted for the socialists.....now they are eating their pets and zoo animals and can't wipe their butts because they don't have toilet paper...

All that sounds strangely familiar... hmmm... might it have been HITLER and the NAZIS that believed that way?

I think so, and Moa, and Stalin, etc, all of which were the world's BIGGEST KILLERS, responsible for the deaths of MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people.

Why are you government school grads unable to construct a cogent response?


Maybe this is why:


"Let me give you a little tip: if you want liberalism to continue in this country, you have to realize that liberal students are being let down by their professors! They have liberal school teachers, and read the liberal press! Because of this weak preparation, they are unable to argue, to think beyond the first knee-jerk impulse. They can’t put together a logical thought. Now, compare that to a college Republican…" Coulter

The slaughter as a by-product of every totalitarian political doctrine, is of no concern to the Left.


None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).

They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.

They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."

But whether it is psychological or biological…….it appears, most significantly, to be political.




3. A tip of the hat to Freud: there is no disputing the desire to stop taking orders from parents. OK. But it grows, in many, to the desire to not have to show respect, take orders from, or to mirror the style and tradition of an older, more successful generation. Perhaps the claim that socialists/communists are all about greed, to take from the successful without the work that went into that success...’You didn’t build that!’ …isn’t just to get the material things…


........it’s the psychological reward of rebellion.


Perhaps the rebel wants to gain that success by a different path, one that doesn’t require looking like, sounding like, and behaving like, our elders, that explains the 50% of Democrats who are socialists. Enter Bernie Sanders, stage Left.




Now…..get this, the fly in their ointment:

The problem for those rebels is that they have given up the intellect and the education that reveals what Socialism, Communism, Progressivism produces for societies, always:

....serfs, slaves….or corpses.

Why are you government school grads unable to construct a cogent response?


Maybe this is why:


"Let me give you a little tip: if you want liberalism to continue in this country, you have to realize that liberal students are being let down by their professors! They have liberal school teachers, and read the liberal press! Because of this weak preparation, they are unable to argue, to think beyond the first knee-jerk impulse. They can’t put together a logical thought. Now, compare that to a college Republican…" Coulter

And red states are worse.

As you are a fathead, Venezuela seems the perfect landing spot for you:


“Venezuelans report big weight losses in 2017 as hunger hits CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelans reported losing on average 11 kilograms (24 lbs) in body weight last year and almost 90 percent now live in poverty,… in 1999, leftist President Hugo Chavez was proud of improving Venezuela’s social indicators due to oil-fueled welfare policies. But his successor President Nicolas Maduro’s rule since 2013 has coincided with a deep recession, due to failed state-led economic policies and the plunge in global oil prices.” Venezuelans report big weight losses in 2017 as hunger hits

I see you are still ignoring red states are worse in education. Really kills the partisan garbage you spew.

Liberals control the education industry nationwide.

How do American students do in international competition?



Take your time.

Especially to the young?

Why are the young so enamored with Socialism/Communism/Liberalism?
It may not be what seems to be the answer, free stuff.

The Answer may be something inherent to the human condition: a desire to be unique, and independent, and to make your own rules, and not have to answer to anyone else.



1.When Albert Camus wrote “The Rebel,” he put his finger on an aspect of human nature that most of us have, more so as youth, but, still, throughout our lives. We yearn to stand out, to be different, …we see it when the prettiest girl runs off with the ‘bad boy,’ or when the wild haired radical is the one everyone is talking about. True, family, and the desire for success often smooths the edges off, moderates how ‘different’ one chooses to be, and sometimes, later on, when we’ve given up most of that rebellion, we might come to resent those who actually carry it off…..but in our youth, we have it.

It’s all about the degree and desire to rebel.

I’m beginning to think we should just put all Bernie supporters in prison. After all, prison is really a “socialist” system. They get free food, shelter, and health services, all paid for by the “rich” taxpayers. They won’t even have to work. Just imagine how well off the country would be with all of them separated from society, even if we had to pay taxes to keep their “community” secured.

No...moron. If you take all the wealth, those who can create wealth will stop.....and the economic and social decline will create widespread poverty......as you see in Venezuela....then the mass graves happen......

What I see in Venezuela is the west inflicting 20 years of economic warfare on them because they picked an economic system we don't like. It's like if I broke both of your legs with a baseball bat and then mocked you for not being able to run a marathon.

Guy, we ALREADY have widespread economic and social decline since Reagan... I would LOVE to have the kind of middle class lifestyle my Dad had with his union job and his high school education. How about we bring THAT back.

That's bullcrap......was wealthy before they voted for the socialists.....now they are eating their pets and zoo animals and can't wipe their butts because they don't have toilet paper...

They were wealthy back in the seventies when OPEC was running wild.I'm sure their problems have nothing to do with so many US sanctions against them that they cannot sell their oil LOL.... Not to mention so much covert action.... At any rate it has no lessons for the rich modern world we should be leading instead ofsetting records for the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere.... Great job scumbag GOP and silly dupes of the greedy idiot rich....
