When exactly does the Democrats' socialism kick in?

[Mac1958]

Government spending, size, scope and influence exists on a continuum.

The task is to work together, THINK, and find the optimal place on that continuum.

But now that we've gone full tribal, we've lost the capacity to THINK.

That's our choice. We deserve what we get.

 

[cnm]

We just want to the govt to FULLY FUND all your initiatives.

Ah, socialism.


Am I doing it right?

 

[cnm]

I think you will find that there is very little government ownership of the means of production in America.

Except for the largest offence forces in the world. Or so I think I've been told they are.

 

[DBA]

I would never attend a parochial school nor let my kids attend one.

Why, because of the cost or the better outcomes?

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:

• 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

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.

When will I see the socialism?

Your party is full of politicians who are ok with calling themselves Democratic Socialists because the lemmings that vote for them are ok with it. Are Democrats dumb enough to believe that Democratic Socialism is an amalgamation of just the good parts of Democracy and Socialism all balled into one? National Socialists has a bit of a bad reputation, so they changed one world and the sheeple run with it. Our country is doomed if the masses are as dumbed down and indoctrinated as they appear to be.

An old guy named Bernie identifies like that and is very nuanced in his views plus 4 others, to be 3 soon as one lost her primary. is not "full". And Bernie likes the Nordic version of social support but he hasnt implemented one socialist bill in his zillion years in congress so... what policy are you talking about?

Harris, the current Democratic nomiee(if you can call her that), is right on par with Bernie, if not even further left. For example, Harris and Bernie raised their hands on stage during the 2020 Democratic primaries when ask who was in favor of removing private health insurance. You are being duped if you don’t know how far left Harris is.

Sure. Secret lefty taking over. Meanwhile you failed like everyone else in explaining where this socialist scare will arise. Harris hasnt proposed a single socialist transition idea at all. I guess its double secret probation.

Um, price fixing, national health care with the lack of private health insurance?

Let me help righties. Here is socialism in the US:

• Education is socialized with a private option. Communities run educations and educate everyone which is mandatory until you are 18
• Libraries are socialized with private options if you want to buy materials instead of borrow. Communities run them and all contribute to the funding of it in the local community
• Policing is socialized with some private options in security but NO private options for law enforcement. Law enforcement is community run and funded by the community.
• Public spaces are socialized with some private options but they are dwarfed by community parks
• Maintaining infrastructure is socialized. We do not pay private companies to own the means of transportation as we use them. We pool resources and build them as a government.
• Your miliary protection is socialized

Oil, gas, food, entertainment, clothing, vacationing, and virtually everything else is private and there are no moves to socialize any of it. Even healthcare is destined to be private but the insurance continues to drift toward a public solutions with private options - like education.

There is no movement toward socialism happening.

Capitalism privatizes its profits and makes public its losses.​

It's socialism for the rich, and "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" capitalism for the rest of us. That's how our system works.

​

The top companies on your list are a result of socialized defense spending. I acknowledged that above. None of those companies are nationalized and run by the government. In fact you could argue those companies run the government which is the opposite of socialism.
