The right wing lemmings for decades have campaigned on the theme that democrats want to usher in socialism. Well, when? After 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Obama, 4 years of Biden, when does the socialism kick in and what does it look like specifically when it comes to programs?
Biden's largest achievements are:
Not exactly the socialist list of dream policies. Even Obama's Affordable Care Act which pools risk is wildly popular in America and used in Red States to a higher degree than Blue States. In fact only one congressman proposed ending it in the last midterm elections. The rest of Republicans have moved on.
- Infrastructure Bill not socialism and disproportionately benefited rural America
- CHIPS Bill not socialism and is supporting capitalist growth of manufacturing
- PACT act - veteran healthcare is caring for vets socialism?
- American Rescue Plan - not socialism and saved the capital markets and the small business engine of America setting it up to be the healthiest in the world
When will I see the socialism?
I have given the definition of socialism at least a dozens times but it never sinks in.
Socialism is an economic system based on social ownership of the means of production. or Socialism is an economic system in which major industries are owned by workers rather than by private businesses.
Yet, I hear people blabbering on about government spending, welfare programs, goverment healthcare insurance, and other goverment entitlement spending turns the country into a socialist state. It just ain't so.
Social welfare programs do not equate to socialism.
Government ownership of the means of production is socialism, for example government owned public unities, hospitals, transportation, communication, manufacturing plants, retail stores, and farms are socialistic. I think you will find that there is very little government ownership of the means of production in America.
