Who's Afraid of Socialism?

[Papageorgio]

Why would anyone be afraid of something that has failed everytime it has been used?

Bernie Sanders is a socialist. What countries are you talkin about, ignorant GOP dupe?

Name one successful socialist country if you can. By the way I am a classic liberal.

France Scandinavia bu Canada New Zealand Australia Japan

You are a brainwashed GOP dupe.

Scandanavia is not a nation, France does not own the means of production and distribution, Canada is a free market economy,
New Zealand is free market, Australia is free market, Australia is free market, Japan is free market and all are capitalist economies
Keep trying you obviously have little economic or political education. When you must end all your arguments in personal insults you admit your ignorance and impotence. Name a single successful socialist nation you can't because there are none.

You think socialism is communism, brainwashed functional moron. Only in the GOP bubble of crap, stupid. Nobody is for communism. Check out what Bernie Sanders and ocasio-cortez want.

I love Cortez, she exposes the hypocrisy of establishment Democrats. In six years she could run for President and totally destroy the establishment Democrats. I’d vote for her over any other Democrat.

The nihilist in me agrees. But I try to fight my destructive tendencies.

Yes, these 3 Muslim shitholes.

How much money are heroic American capitalists "earning" from creating "Muslim shitholes" on the opposite side of the planet from Wall Street?

You tell me.
In the mean time, keep these Muslims away from the civilized countries.

"Capitalism’s incompatibility with majority interests has been reaffirmed by the current economic crisis.

"Earlier, the most severe effects of capitalism had been offset, within the US, by the progressive reforms of the 1930s.

"But capital’s political power was less restrained in this country than it was in the other rich countries.

"Flush with military might and bolstered by a mass right-wing culture of arrogant self-righteousness, US capital launched a withering counterattack against the New Deal legacy, culminating in an almost three-decade orgy of anti-welfare legislation, imperialist aggression, privatization, and deregulation."

Unrestrained profit maximization results in concentrating an enormous amount of surplus capital which can find few safe investments.

"Free market" capitalists turn to highly speculative scams which generate financial bubbles as the real economy continues to be hollowed out and the working class is driven deeper into debt.

Socialism would turn to government for an alternative, but US government is Goldman Sachs regardless of which major party is in control.

Anybody with any common sense or capacity to commit logic is afraid of socialism. All you have to do is look at Venezuela to see why you have to be insane to adopt such economic policies.

For christ fkin sake dude. Venezuela is a universe away from what we are and do. Just stop. Even amongst the left we understand that America was born and succeeded primarily as a capitalist nation and we still want that core. The failure of capitalism is negative externalities, failed markets, an aversion to even trying to fix problems, growing economic inequality. What we want is to use more a socialist toolset to address some of these problems as we've seen other nations successfully do and on the name of the well being of the people. No one here is saying let's be Venezuela. So seriously stfu and turn off your rotten news source.

Venezuela and its economy are also victims of US sanctions:

Trump’s Sanctions Have Cost Venezuela US$6bn Since August 2017

With right-wing governments in Colombia and Brazil, Trump and Pence have Venezuela in their regime change cross hairs.

Much of Venezuela's economic problems revolve around hyperinflation and that could be addressed in a matter of weeks if the US were to remove its sanctions.

Wesley Clark - Wikipedia

"In Clark's book, Winning Modern Wars, published in 2003, he describes his conversation with a military officer in the Pentagon shortly after 9/11 regarding a plan to attack seven Middle Eastern countries in five years: 'As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.' [148] Wesley regards the 2003 invasion of Iraq as 'a huge mistake"'.[14

American capitalism has gone global and you are not going to reign it in, or force it to pay for the well being of our society. Capitalism doesn't care about our well being. It will just seek out another host, which is why it went global in the first place. With the help of the useless American left, I might add.

I believe you're correct when you point out how capitalism has deserted its homelands, but, unless you're including Clinton and Obama as part of the American left, the blame lies mainly with Wall Street Democrats and crony-capitalist Republicans.

Wall Street First | Michael Hudson

"Trump is Obama’s Legacy. Will this Break up the Democratic Party?

"Nobody yet can (1/2017) tell whether Donald Trump is an agent of change with a specific policy in mind, or merely a catalyst heralding an as yet undetermined turning point.

"His first month in the White House saw him melting into the Republican mélange of corporate lobbyists. Having promised to create jobs, his 'America First' policy looks more like 'Wall Street First.'"

Socialism has no morality

Capitalism has the slave owner's morality.

"People across the political spectrum acknowledge that racism exists, but its origins are shrouded in mystery—deliberately so.

"Racism is presented as if it has always existed, and individuals make a personal choice to be racist.

"In reality racism was developed as a means of justifying the transatlantic slave trade, which was crucial for the birth of industrial capitalism."

A Coup in Progress? Venezuelan Foreign Minister Decries U.S. & Brazil-Backed Effort to Oust Maduro | Democracy Now!

"The United States, Brazil and other nations have welcomed the effort.

"Vice President Mike Pence tweeted, the U.S. 'strongly supports the courageous decision by Juan Guaidó' to 'declare the country’s presidency vacant.'

"On the day of Maruro’s inauguration, January 10th, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Guaidó to congratulate him on his election victory to head the National Assembly.

"Then, national security adviser John Bolton announced, quote, 'The United States does not recognize Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s illegitimate claim to power,' unquote.

"Brazil, now led by the far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, has gone a step further by saying it recognizes Juan Guaidó as the rightful president of Venezuela, even though Guaidó himself hasn’t even claimed that title.

"A group of Latin American countries known as the Lima Group also recently voted to not recognize the legitimacy of Maduro’s presidency.

"Mexico was the sole dissenter."

Not sure what that has to do with Cortez. But 60 votes in the Senate for any party is rare. However, I don’t like either party, we would all be better off with a hybrid party.

There's also a lingering mythology that says socialism requires government control of the economy:

Democratic socialism - Wikipedia

"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production[1] with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of decentralized planned socialist economy,"

Socialism works when a majority of workers control the means of production through a social ownership mechanism.
