Where The Money Scott Walker Is Cutting From Universities Is Going

[Socialist]

It's horrifying. It mainly comes from this perverse idea that everyone who is wealthy earned it off their own backs, and multi billionaires who hire third world workers to do their labor that gives them profit are meaningless.

When I see any of you people work a fraction as hard as I've seen the wealthy, I might consider what you say to be worth my time.

Oh jesus christ, do you know who the walton family is? The CEO of nestle? The owners of sweatshops? Fuck, all of the work is done by laborers, actual people, and the CEO's reap the profits off of the laborers, while doing very little for what they earn.

So? Sucks to be them, they can start their own company and be their own CEO.

This is the mentality that scares me, can you imagine? Stupid slaves, they should stop bitching and start their own plantation.

Son that's how this country became great, the world you describe sounds like life on a government plantation.

Yes, I know genocide of native americans and slavery made america an imperialist power, so what?

Was even one of the corporations you obviously hate built using slave labor? No. If you live long enough maybe we will discover a planet that suits you better and a means to get you there.

What the hell are you defining as socialism?

Ownership or control of the means of production by the state or central authorty.

North korea is not socialist, they're a theocratic totalitarian state,

Socialism is totalitarian by nature and cannot exist outside of an authoritarian state. Even a Kibbutz is authoritarian.

And are you SERIOUSLY trying to sell the fiction that North Korea does not own the means of production?

ROFL.

cuba has some elements of cooperative democratic control of production, same with venezuela, but it's hardly noticeable, the USSR went to state capitalism with Stalin, not socialism, if we get to use such hogwash, I will proudly say Somalia is a prime example of no taxes and no regulations on capitalists. Oh wait, it is... See, the thing with your bullshit is, the majority of the cuban population supported the castro's, and after the castro's took power, life expectancy increased, healthcare increased, infant mortality went down, housing went up for people, as did food intake, extreme poverty was reduced.. Same case in venezuela, and I don't even support these countries, BUT I'M NOT A LIAR. So, by what measure are you looking at this from?

Yes, you have an idealized fantasy of a nirvana you wish existed - but it does not. Socialism is nothing more, or less, than the repackaging of feudalism to be sold to the stupid. You bought out the stocks.

Oh, and the USSR turned to fascism before Stalin, Lenin instituted the NEP after the utter disaster in Petrograd after real Communism was deployed in the hapless city. Brush up on your history, Comrade. Stalin merely continued the NEP, though he repeated the mistakes of Lenin on several occasions, such as the collectivization of food production - what was the result of that wonderful bout of socialism? 11 million dead?

And lying about Venezuela certainly doesn't bolster your already weak case;

{One of the many byproducts of Venezuela’s acute political and financial crisis is food truck looting, a pattern that is plaguing the country’s highways with chaos and fear.}
Hungry desperate Venezuelans are targeting and looting food trucks Fox News Latino

Ah socialism, bringing starvation and misery to the peasants wherever it is deployed.

But don't you worry, the Nobility lives in opulence - as is ALWAYS the case in socialist shit holes.

Yes, the theocratic state of North korea owns production, the workers do not, THAT IS NOT SOCIALISM AS DISCUSSED BY ANY SOCIALISTS, Maybe by right wingers who want to immediately shut down everything and label what they want. Repackaging of feudalism? Sounds like capitalism, if we get to make hilarious comparisons. Oh, get over the hogwash on petrograd, the USSR just came out of agrarian feudalism, was just beginning to industrialize, had virtually no literacy or women's rights, the peasants were barbaric and uneducated, and if you get to ignore the free ukraine/catalonia/the paris commune, by all means, go ahead, but I'm not dishonest, I own up to the mistakes of the past. Lying about Venezuela? Venezuela, empirically, without any doubt, after Hugo, reduced extreme poverty, increased literacy, reduced infant mortality, that's all I claimed, and it holds true, don't assume I support the actions of venezuela either, I don't, but again, I'm honest. Starvation and misery? Sounds like capitalist haiti.

Oh lord.
Democratic socialism is a political ideology advocating a democraticpolitical system alongside a socialisteconomic system, involving a combination of political democracy with social ownership of the means of production. Sometimes used synonymously with "socialism", the adjective "democratic" is added to distinguish democratic socialism from Marxist-Leninist Communism.[1] Try Again.

The living hell of Petrograd, AKA St. Petersburg in the season of 1922-23 was the most democratic system ever instituted by man. Vladimir Lenin was a true believer - he thought that under the right conditions, Communism could work. So he chose the city of 1.7 million to be the new Mecca. The city was broken into districts of just a few blocks each, and each district elected a Soviet, or peoples congress. The Soviets had absolute control, forget the myth of Lenin managing from Moscow, the Soviets were supreme. The neighborhood Soviet elected delegates to go to the regional Soviet, who sent delegates to the Peoples Soviet, all the way up to the Supreme Soviet. Democracy in the most pure form - majority rule, not only for law, but for resources. The upper Soviets decided what the needs of the Soviets under them were, and allocated resources as they saw fit. All the way down to the neighborhood Soviets. The neighborhood Soviet had absolute power over the people, deciding the needs to be met, and the ability of those to work, They decided what food a family needed - if any - they decided what shelter was needed - if any, in the Arctic city - they decided what work each could do - often 24/7 shifts for those not favored. But these were elected by the people. Oh, of course the Bourgeoisie - the middle class, were not allowed to vote, due the the hatred that Socialists have for the middle class. And the Soviets often felt that these middle class scum didn't need food or shelter and should work until they die.

About half the population died.

This is what you promote and offer.

Well... for once, these Flaming Liberals may be right... this is not gonna look good for Walker's resume.

Cut $250 million in State funding for its university system, and flush it down the toilet at an organization that is not going to serve-up any kind of respectable return on invesment.

Poor management.

Poor governorship.

Poor stewardship.

Total lack of vision.

Oh jesus christ, where are you getting your information, first of all, and second of all, the USSR was barely industrialized, uneducated, coming out of agrarian feudalism, with little to no medical care.. Well, in all fairness, "communism" (more so syndicalism) worked in catalonia, and the free ukraine, (anarchists) Nothing is perfect, and petrograd was a disaster, but the lack of information is laughable.

They did this with considerable pressure from external forces, and mandatory minimum wage laws

Comrade, Walmart just voluntarily raised wages across the board, why did they do this?

Just in case you're planning to be a good socialist and lie;

{Walmart recently announced that it was raising its minimum starting wage to $9 an hour, 24% higher than the federal minimum. Since Walmart is famous for its ruthless cost management, this appeared, on its face, to be a significant sign of a tightening labor market.}
Why Did Walmart Raise Its Wages - Forbes

Walmart raised the wage to a laughable amount, at a funny time to, when wage protests are heating up, when stories about walmart employees and there reliance on welfare are coming out... Are you seriously supporting walmart?

I didn't know I needed to "support" them. They're a private company. It's not like they're on a ballot somewhere. My interactions with Walmart are whether or not they have a price I want to pay on an item I want to buy. Their interactions with their workers are their business, until such time as they impact the interaction with me.

You have to ask yourself how they keep the prices so low... much like other companies, they love exploiting third world labor, paying workers cheaply, and then coming out with a laughable wage increase to make themselves seem like the good guys.

No, I really don't. And if I want buzzwords, I'll look them up on the Internet. Please try to keep your chat from deginerating into mindless parroting of bumper sticker slogans. I can get a more intellectual conversation from my six-year-old, and he's cuter.

"Exploiting squawrk! Polly want a cracker!"

Where The Money Scott Walker Is Cutting From Universities Is Going ThinkProgress

Money spent anywhere other than so called "universities", which amount to little more than Leftist Indoctrination centers, is better spent.

A trade school... would be a MAJOR improvement.

But a Basketball Stadium is as good as any. That will at least support itself... and produce something worth havin'.

I tend to be skeptical about buying other people educations beyond the basics of primary school. My experience is that higher education is not valued when it is given, rather than earned.

Walmart raised the wage to a laughable amount, at a funny time to, when wage protests are heating up, when stories about walmart employees and there reliance on welfare are coming out... Are you seriously supporting walmart?

So, the minimum wage is the only reason people survive - but 24% above the minimum wage is a laughable amount?

You seem to talk out of both sides of your mouth, in your quest to return to feudalism.

The minimum wage is barely livable, let alone if someone has kids. That's why we have welfare, food stamps, loans, etc, etc... It is a laughable amount, look at productivity,what wages should be, the cost of living... Capitalists want to return to feudalism by removing regulations.

What in the holy fuck is someone with kids doing working at minimum wage? For that matter, what in the holy fuck is someone making minimum wage doing having children? And why is that anyone else's problem but theirs?

Walmart doesn't exist for the purpose of taking care of people, Bubba. They exist to make a profit and remain in business. The fact that their doing so provides their employees with paychecks is a by-product, not the main goal.

We have welfare and food stamps because dumb twats like you have convinced people to slack off and look for someone else to make up the difference.

If you knew jack shit about capitalism OR feudalism beyond slogans, you'd know that capitalism has no desire to return to feudalism, because feudalism is a piss-poor system, and antithetical to true capitalism.

The reason I know this is because I paid for my own college education, instead of having it handed to me by self-righteous dumbasses who assumed I was too pathetic to take care of myself.

Looking to Escape the High Cost of College These 7 Countries Will Educate You for Free Alternet

Here is a list of countries with Free College level education.

Brazil, France, Norway, Germany, Finland, Slovenia, and Sweden.

Seven countries that I've found. Out the schools from those countries.........

World Reputation Rankings 2015 results - Times Higher Education

World ranking of higher education schools.

Notice the first one, Harvard. A 100% private, pay-for-service school.

Out of the top 50 schools in the world... how many are from 'free-college' countries? Only FOUR. Three from Germany, and one from Sweden. The top one being 35th on the list.

Now how many are from the US? 26. More than half. 8 of the top 10 are US schools.

Now how many of those are private universities? 8 of the top 10, are private universities. Not public.

Do you need more evidence, or is this clear enough?

Yes, only those that can afford it. If Thomas Sowell, from a broken family, with no money, can work his way through Harvard... anyone can if they really want to.

Besides that, we have dozens of heavily funded public colleges. If it were possible to have a publicly funded college achieve the level of education that Harvard can.... then how about you people on the left, shut up.... and do it. But we've played it your way, sinking hundreds of billions into higher education for decades now, and you have failed over and over and over.

Why should people who are willing to work, and pay, for a better education, be penalized simply because your system sucks?

Reputation has nothing to do with results buddy.

Are you playing stupid, or actually are? The reputation was based on two thinks... teaching and research. Would you claim that research done by the school isn't important... or that teaching isn't? Which idiotic claim would you like to support?

I didn't know two "thinks" was an actual statement, might want to look into actually wording your post. None the less, actual results, in terms of graduation, going to get employed, student debt that students will have to carry, that's what matters, not subjective reputation chart on a random website.

The fact that the best you can do, is point out irrelevant typos, shows how bankrupt you are intillectually. You've had your face bashed in by every poster you've talked to, for the past dozens posts. I'm not surprised you are grasping at anything now.

Student debt, is not relevant to the quality of the school.

Are you saying that a school that does zero research on anything, and has no teachers, would score higher if the student debt was zero?

What s Better than Getting Into Harvard Not Having to Pay For It - Forbes

Three fourths of Princeton students graduate debt free, with the other fourth possessing loans that average five to six thousand.

So I guess that claim doesn't even help your argument.

I also don't agree that post-education employment means anything either. A degree never get's you a job. What get's you a job, is having skills, and people skills, and a drive.

If you can't relate to people very well, it doesn't matter what degree you have from where. If you don't have actual job skills... the ability to get up, ON TIME, and get to the job ON TIME, and perform solid work ALL DAY... then you are going to have a hard time getting a job.

If you are not social, you will have a hard time. Being a team player, is more important, than having skill. You might be the best whatever, on the face of G-d's green Earth, but if you walk in all arrogant, and self-absorbed, you are not going to get a job very easy.

And lastly drive. You must have drive. You come in, eyes on the floor, with your shirt not tucked in, and without a belt on, and mumbling 'hello' in a weak voice, handing a dead fish to the person you meet.... you are not getting the job, now matter if you were top of the class at Harvard 4 years straight.

I judge schools based on what the SCHOOL does. Not what the students do after they leave school

Now I get it, if every single student comes out unable to get a job, because their degree is worthless to the private market... there's a problem there. But you can't tell me that Harvard has such a bad reputation, that people are ignoring the degrees they issue. Which again, is why reputation is counted to begin is why you look at 'teaching' and 'research'. No one says "Oh those Harvard degrees are worthless".

Still not one piece of anything giving evidence of results, just a random website with reputation from subjective people.

Yes, well, we've already objected to ThinkProgress as a source. Let's move on.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Why is there such a disdain for the average working person? The usmb is full of posters who show nothing favorable to anything that helps out the working class person and favor those things that benefit those at the top. Where does this twisted sick mentality come from? SS bad, Medicare bad, unions bad, education overrated, cut health insurance, benefits bad, the list goes on. I don't understand the negativity towards the average person working their tales off to barely scrape by and are no farther ahead than they were 10 years ago. Why the hatred?'

It's horrifying. It mainly comes from this perverse idea that everyone who is wealthy earned it off their own backs, and multi billionaires who hire third world workers to do their labor that gives them profit are meaningless.

When I see any of you people work a fraction as hard as I've seen the wealthy, I might consider what you say to be worth my time.

Oh jesus christ, do you know who the walton family is? The CEO of nestle? The owners of sweatshops? Fuck, all of the work is done by laborers, actual people, and the CEO's reap the profits off of the laborers, while doing very little for what they earn.

So? Sucks to be them, they can start their own company and be their own CEO.

This is the mentality that scares me, can you imagine? Stupid slaves, they should stop bitching and start their own plantation.

Slaves? Do you even shop in Walmart? Nary a whip to be seen, and the only chains on people's necks are jewelry.

I always love that line about "all the work is done by laborers". Spoken like someone who's never had the education to be more than an unskilled menial, and has no idea whatsoever what managers do . . . other than firing him.

I'm also laughing over "actual people". What are CEOs? Androids?

You might want to look up "buzzword", because it doesn't mean what you seem to think it does. "Buying other people's education" is a factual description of what you want to do: you want me to give my money to other people so they can go to school without paying for it themselves. Show me where that is factually incorrect.

Now, "investment" to describe taxing people and redistributing it, THAT is a buzzword.

You do know you're welcome to move to Scandinavia or Germany or any other country you like better, right? No one here would have any interest in stopping you, and it would be better than you trying to force the rest of us to live in a society we don't want because you've beneficently decided it's better for us.
