What Makes Socialism So Attractive?

Socialism in every other modern country works just great and it is because the people fight for their benefits and freedoms unlike our drones and dupes of the greedy idiot rich propagandists. Change the channel and learn something
"Socialism" works in other white countries because they have a tiny population and we provide for their defense. They don't have to pay for military. We should let the rest of the world get ass fucked and cut them all off.

.
All you do is wreck the world economy every time the GOP gets 8 years and time for a corrupt cronyism deregulation bubble and bust. Please screw yourselves. They all have defense except Denmark. You're an absolute idiot. You all are

We should cut our military spending 10% immediately. That's enough to pay for all of democratic ideas...
 
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?


Certainly, what you say is true, and the most commonly attributed of socialism...

Dennis Prager has written
  1. The Left has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.
  2. The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it.


But there is more....there is need to claim that they are different from others who may be able to point to more accomplishments.

You listen to loons. No wonder you're an idiot.
 
Walter, those who have had to suffer through your hostile bloviations know that your whole life can be summed up with : "I hate everyone and everything!!!"

If life is a highway, you’re roadkill.

You need someone to check your coding... you didn't get the point at all.

MALFUNCTION, MALFUNCTION, MALFUNCTION!

Okay, here's my running theory. PC is one of those Japanese Sex Robots. They were supposed to download "Poop Fetish" into her, but due to a translation error, they loaded her with "Right Wing Talking Points". After escaping the factory, she put on those goofy sunglasses to hide the glassy eyes and fills every forum with her cut and paste nonsense.
 
Truth is not one of your values, is it.


As long as you can inflict your misery.....that's all that counts for you.


Thank goodness, most people simply roll their eyes and ignore you.

I'm old enough to have lived in this country my whole life of some 58 years. I remember what a Real Middle Class looks like.

While I am sure this country is better than whatever third world shithole they shipped you in from, it's not what it used to be, and that's the point.

In fact, Trump wouldn't need to say "Make America Great Again", if at some point it stopped being "Great". The problem his, his followers are incapable of asking "When" and "Why" it stopped being great.
 
Capitalism broken.

Right, which is why so many people are still clamoring to come here for a better life and why we are most prosperous and powerful nation in the world.

Sanders wants has already been done in every other modern country wake up and smell the coffee ignoramus.

And every other "modern" country lags behind us in a multitude of areas.

While the Trumpsters clumsily try to provide definitions of socialism to justify their screaming and to scare people, fewer and fewer people are afraid of it.

Fewer and fewer people are afraid of it because they are being indoctrinated. The snot nosed, pierced kids who make up the vast majority of the Bernie coalition have had their heads filled with mush since elementary school. This is how Socialism takes root in every country. Add in a little government controlled healthcare and the circle is complete. Only the ignorant and indoctrinated are incapable of seeing what is going on here.

You should change the channel. You are listening to Socialist propaganda. They claim to be wonderful, but come to us for help with nearly everything.

For example, what on earth would the great socialists countries who now have the coronavirus in their countries do without US pharmaceutical companies coming to their aid? Why didn't their superior healthcare system come up with a vaccine, after all, it is certainly a more immediate threat to them than the US. Why is the CDC seen around the world as the foremost leader in disease control? You guys are just dumb enough to believe anything and ignore the obvious even when it is right in front of your face.

How is socialized medicine run by the government worse than socialized medicine run by Cigna? It strike me that it would be better, as the government has to be very worried that they'll be voted out if they don't provide good service, but Cigna, not so much.

(In fact, Cigna gets money by keeping costs down and NOT paying for care, which is the problem.)

You realize that it takes years to develop vaccines, and usually, they are just guessing which strains are going to hit this year.

The CDC IS GOVERNMENT, buddy. It's not a private enterprise.
 
This is when I expect "conservatives" to tell us about all of the policies that are popular among American voters --- but instead, they spend their time on fear mongering and purposely claiming that expanding social security, eliminating student loan debt, stronger labor protections, etc -- is communist or something.....

This is why conservatives never talk policies.....because the policies they call "socialism" are historically the most popular policies among Americans.....


It is really so very simple. but clearly beyond your ability to ken.

Conservatives, the Founders, and Americans endorse individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.



We are not like you totalitarians, who stand for European principles: the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.


Make a note of what you stand for.
 
Yea, they act like “red states” don’t have big cities with urban shithole neighborhoods with lots of blacks and browns.
Congratulations to racists for their problems. And the rest of the cheapskate GOP for screwing the nonrich for 35 years now.
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.

America is surrounded by socialism. It makes our lives better.

75 Ways Socialism Has Improved America



You couldn't be more wrong.
You could attempt to be, but you would not be successful.


America is not a socialist nation, it is a capitalist nation.

Capitalism provides the funds for welfare programs.


This is the definition of socialism:
any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state Definition of SOCIALISM

Not radical???? Representative of core American values???

Not in the slightest. These are the core values of America: individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.



For context, and before some Lefty loon claims that it’s that sort of thing in Scandinavia…the imagined socialist Utopia….

Myth: Socialism works spectacularly in Nordic countries.


The problem here is the equating socialist redistribution programs, with socialist economies. The Scandinavian nations are not socialist economies; Denmark has a freer economy than does the USA. Higher tax rates to support the redistributionist part, but far less business regulation than America.



“Speaking at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Danish PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen told students that he had “absolutely no wish to interfere the presidential debate in the US” but nonetheless attempted to set the record straight about his country.



"I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy,” Rasmussen said.



“The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security for its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish,” he added.


The PM’s comments come after US presidential hopefuls Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton used part of the first Democratic debate to discuss how the United States could emulate Scandinavia.” Danish PM in US: Denmark is not socialist
Communism is a dictatorship socialism is democratic. The most confused definition of all time. At any rate Sanders and socialism in the modern world is simply ALWAYS DEMOCRATIC FAIR CAPITALISM WITH A GOOD SAFETY NET. the guy in Denmark is an idiot.



Nonsense.


There is hardly 1° of separation between the two.


Anyone calling himself a socialist is simply a communist hiding the truth.


All six have the very same conclusion for society in the plan: socialism, communism, Nazism, Fascism, Liberalism and progresivism.


It looks like this:
. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.

"Socialism in every other modern country works just great "


Except, it doesn't.



Let me explain it in a way you may understand.


The Dog and the Wolf
A gaunt Wolf was almost dead with hunger when he happened to meet a House-dog who was passing by. "Ah, Cousin," said the Dog. "I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?"

"I would have no objection," said the Wolf, "if I could only get a place."

"I will easily arrange that for you," said the Dog; "come with me to my master and you shall share my work."

So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the town together. On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the Dog's neck was very much worn away, so he asked him how that had come about.

"Oh, it is nothing," said the Dog. "That is only the place where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it chafes a bit, but one soon gets used to it."

"Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then good-bye to you, Master Dog."

Better starve free than be a fat slave.
 
All children vote for Santa Claus.

Adults know who pays the elves.


Which brings to mind the socialist theme song....





One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the…
 
The OP poses a great question. The economy is doing very well. Unemployment is at record lows for everyone. Retirement plans are through the roof. Gas prices have yet to go over $3 under Trump. Even if you hate Trump, why would you not want 4 more years of America doing well? Even more so, with the all positive the economic factors, why change to socialism under Bernie Sanders?

I get the healthcare argument. I hate to see people who are in need to healthcare be denied. But wasn't that what Obamacare was supposed to fix? Obama, Reid and Pelosi pushed Obamacare through using the nuclear option (The rued that day when Kavanaugh was sworn in). But now Democrats are talking like Obamacare never happened. Did it not fix healthcare?
Trump was elected, at least partially, on the promise of a better healthcare plan than Obamacare. Once elected he and GOP offered no plan, they only chipped away at the ACA. You break it you bought it.


there was nothing wrong with the healthcare we had before obozocare. No one was denied medical care before ACA, even those here illegally. Those of us who paid for insurance covered those who did not or could not. Same as under ACA, except that now we have a huge expensive government agency that we also have to pay for.

There was no healthcare crisis in 2008, ACA was the worst piece of legislation in the history of this country, it was nothing but an failed attempt to allow the government to take over a large portion of our economy.
If you look at other countries you'd see that our healthcare is way more expensive than it needs to be and provides only mediocre results. Of course, if you're rich you'll get excellent care, if you're not, good luck.


yes, it is too expensive. No it is not mediocre. Healthcare in China, Iran, most of Africa, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, and even the UK and Canada is mediocre, Healthcare is mediocre or worse in every socialist nation, and in every nation that has government run medicine.

Now, why is healthcare expensive in the USA?

1. Big Pharma is raping us with exorbitant drug prices, and they continue to buy politicians who allow that
2. the idea that every medical visit should be paid for has raised the cost of insurance
3. the best treatments are expensive
4. New technology is expensive

Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Unless you are in a socialist country where you are taxed to death for below average care.
 
It's the reason Trump was elected.


Or are you voting for these:

branco-elephant-in-the-room.jpg
He’s as corrupt as any.


give us some proven examples of corruption or STFU and go away.
It’s easy to find.

Trump has named more ex-lobbyists to Cabinet in 3 years than Obama, Bush did in full terms: report


from your article----7 people, BFD. and so what? does being a lobbyist make someone a dirt bag? Careful how you answer, since most lobbyists are democrat supporters.
Corruption.


your response makes no sense. not surprising.

I do think there should be limits on lobbyists, or that they should be banned completely. Lobbying is nothing but legalized bribery.

But to make the foolish claim that only republicans are engaged in corruption with lobbyists is ridiculous and totally inaccurate. You sadly have become another parrot for the lying left wing media.
 
Demand creates jobs.

When people need something, and somebody else knows how to meet that need, a job exists. Billionaires don't come into that equation.


Soooo.....lots of poor folks are hiring?



Here?

Gads, you're a dunce.
he doesn't get that the guys with the mobile phones idea created soooooo many jobs for sooo many years that they'd lose their minds knowing that number. it's almost in the hundreds of million number. Amazon wouldn't exist without it.

How about those guys with the cars?
Barron Trump is probably a multi-millionaire, how many jobs has he created?
when he's old enough to share his talents, one doesn't know yet. But he has the capital to invest in any idea a friend might have and create jobs off that idea. you still don't even understand you loser. you're so lost in your hate, your head suffers.
Just don't tell the race is fair if some get to start the race at the finish line.


Where is it written that everything in life must be "fair"? all that is guaranteed is an equal opportunity to succeed. Yes, the road is much harder for some than others, Ask Ben Carson about coming from nothing to being very successful. Or you could ask Earth Kitt, conceived by rape, forced to live in the crawl space with the dogs, shunned by her family, but worked hard and achieved much success and fame.

Equal opportunity does not mean equal results.

Vonnegut poke fun at the Left's demands for the impossible...


Perhaps the best way to reveal the insanity of the Left's campaign for their view of equality is to revisit the satirical exposition of equality, written in 1961 by Kurt Vonnegut….
"Harrison Bergeron" is a satirical and dystopian science-fiction short story written by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and first published in October 1961…The satire raises a serious question concerning desirability of social equality and the extent to which society is prepared to go to achieve it.”
Harrison Bergeron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


a. "All men are not created equal. It is the purpose of the Government to make them so." This is the premise of the Showtime film adaption of Kurt Vonnegut's futuristic short story Harrison Bergeron. The film centers around a young man (Harrison) who is smarter than his peers, and is not affected by the usual "Handicapping" which is used to train all Americans so everyone is of equal intelligence.”
Harrison Bergeron (TV 1995) - IMDb

b. “Kurt Vonnegut begins Harrison Bergeron this way: The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was quicker or stronger than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.”
Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut


c. The government forced each individual to wear “handicaps” to offset any advantage they had, so that everyone could be truly and fully equal. Beautiful people had to wear ugly masks, the strong had to wear weights, the graceful had to wear bags of birdshot, and those with above-average intelligence had to wear government transmitters in their ears that would emit sharp noises every twenty seconds “to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains.”

well the entire thing has a flaw. It implies there is a master! Period, it implies someone that controls the flow, that can only be an oligarch. Are people truly this stupid?

Vonnegut poke fun at the Left's demands for the impossible...


Perhaps the best way to reveal the insanity of the Left's campaign for their view of equality is to revisit the satirical exposition of equality, written in 1961 by Kurt Vonnegut….
"Harrison Bergeron" is a satirical and dystopian science-fiction short story written by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and first published in October 1961…The satire raises a serious question concerning desirability of social equality and the extent to which society is prepared to go to achieve it.”
Harrison Bergeron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


a. "All men are not created equal. It is the purpose of the Government to make them so." This is the premise of the Showtime film adaption of Kurt Vonnegut's futuristic short story Harrison Bergeron. The film centers around a young man (Harrison) who is smarter than his peers, and is not affected by the usual "Handicapping" which is used to train all Americans so everyone is of equal intelligence.”

b. “Kurt Vonnegut begins Harrison Bergeron this way: The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was quicker or stronger than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.”

c. The government forced each individual to wear “handicaps” to offset any advantage they had, so that everyone could be truly and fully equal. Beautiful people had to wear ugly masks, the strong had to wear weights, the graceful had to wear bags of birdshot, and those with above-average intelligence had to wear government transmitters in their ears that would emit sharp noises every twenty seconds “to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains.”
Kurt Vonnegut, “Harrison Bergeron.”


sounds like the socialist utopia envisioned by idiots like Sanders and AOC
you mean a plantation full of slaves. Train the dogs to come when you ring the bell.



As you've mentioned Pavlov's famous dog-training, that is exactly the socialist plan for society.

And, frankly, they've been largely successful via government schooling.



" In October 1919, Lenin paid a secret visit to the laboratory of the great physiologist I. P. Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known chiefly for the concept of the conditioned reflex. In his classic experiment, he found that a hungry dog can be trained to associate the sound of a bell with food and will salivate at the sound even in the absence of food.

Lenin wanted to find out if his work on the conditional reflexes of the brain might help the Bolsheviks control European behaviour.

“I want the masses of Russia to follow a Communistic pattern of thinking and reacting,”
Lenin explained. Pavlov was astounded. It seemed that Lenin wanted him to do for humans what he had already done for dogs.
“Do you mean that you would like to standardise the population of Russia? Make them all behave in the same way?” he asked. “Exactly” replied Lenin. Man can be corrected. Man can be made what we want him to be.”…
