Ugh Canada has already turned on Trudeau. We are not Canada, dummy. Besides that... Canada has to rely on us even though they still remain socialist. Why do they still need our help? Cause socialism sucks.According to Trumptards, Canada is socialist.
the neglect of those services is due to socialism.Roads, police, military, fire departments, courts, and prisons existed long before Marx and Engels wrote "The Communist Manifesto" in 1847. In fact, they existed long before the 1789 French Revolution too, which was the origin of Socialism.
Now where the hell do you think all that money came from in order to build those roads, police, military, fire departments, courts, and prisons? Socialism? Fuck no. Those things were paid for by taxpaying citizens who generated that revue by way of capitalism. Those jobs, businesses, and companies were not created by the government.
nope, for fk sake, stop denigrating Scandanavian countries. fk, I hate when you all do that.Noting remotely socialist or communist about the USSR.
With socialism or communism, the decision making and profit sharing has to be done democratically and equally.
The USSR was a dictatorship of the wealthy elite, just like any capitalist monarchy.
There are people who have done socialism, but they are very successful at it, like Scandanavian countries, primitive tribes, etc.
I just watched Schindler's List, holy fk, the demofks are doing exactly what was done in pre Nazi Germany. Redistribution to those who are faithful. rub out those who don't comply. holy fk. badges on their arms to highlight to everyone who the unwanted really are so everyone can scream "leave Jew, leave". holy fk. Did I say, Holy Fk? Holy Fk.“What are you so afraid of?”,
The loss of freedom and prosperity, but mostly it's the mass graves and death toll
well for fk sake, tell us the positives of socialism. Go!!!!You are an ignorant fool at best. Clearly you know nothing about socialism other than the shit you have been spoon fed
Since birth.
We have socialist policies in play now and have been since the beginning. Every modern western society is built on socialism. There's no other way for government services to be funded.
It's that government health care that you all baulk at because you think it will eventually lead to genocide. You know nothing about it because you've never experienced it. Just let big health rip you off every month.
You know nothing about it.
/----/ We understand taxation and why it's needed. What we are concerned about (not scared) is how irresponsible Washington is with our money. $30 trillion in debt doesn't "SCARE" you in the least bit?What an interesting blog article on American ideas about civil responsibility and the knee jerk reaction of Americans generally, and Conservatives specifically, to fear community welfare and immediately associate it with socialism or communism. It led to her asking “What are you so afraid of?”, and she received 5 specific groups of fears:
She has some good responses to these fears that I can’t do just to for a short attention span. Read the link if you want. I think these fears keep America from being a great and caring nation.
- I’m scared of having to pay for other people’s laziness
- I’m scared because I don’t trust my government or other people generally
- I’m scared because socialism leads to authoritarianism
- I’m scared because socialists and communists kill a lot of people
- I’m not scared, socialism always fails
Why Are Americans and Conservatives So Afraid of Socialism?
I went a little bit viral on TikTok recently for voicing the unthinkable: I said that I like paying taxes. As you might imagine, the Americans and Conservatives in my comment section were shocked and appalled. The words communist and socialist were thrown around like insults, images of gulags and famine were invoked to prove some kind of vague and poorly-articulated point about freedom.
In contrast, the (predominantly western/northern) Europeans seemed to find my explanation pretty fair and even stopped to correct me on some of the finer points of Scottish, Scandinavian and German socialist democracy.
What shocked me, however, was not that so many Americans and Conservatives seemed to misunderstand fundamental aspects of civil life — like taxation — but that so many seemed so vehemently opposed to any suggestion that we should all contribute to the collective welfare of our countrymen.
Curiosity piqued, yesterday I made the mistake of asking Americans and Conservatives: “What is it about communism/socialism that scares you?” Here’s what they said.
/----/ So edumafacate us, poor Conservatives of the wonders of Socialism. BTW, why are folks fleeing socialist countries and risking life and limb to come to evil, mean, greedy, capitalism? Are they that stupid?You are an ignorant fool at best. Clearly you know nothing about socialism other than the shit you have been spoon fed

it's called insanity.It isn't fear.
It is rational thought.
Socialism has never worked. And never will.
That is not fear. That is objective thinking.
On the other side of the coin, thinking it will work despite a loooong line of failures... that is where the craziness is.
I'm not scared of Communism. I oppose it it because it's failed 100% of the time, causing misery at historic levels and it's the antithesis of a free country.What an interesting blog article on American ideas about civil responsibility and the knee jerk reaction of Americans generally, and Conservatives specifically, to fear community welfare and immediately associate it with socialism or communism.

I’d like to see less military spending, less corporate and wealthy tax cuts, less farmer subsidies, less oil subsidies for starters./----/ We understand taxation and why it's needed.

Oil companies don't get subsidies.I’d like to see less military spending, less corporate and wealthy tax cuts, less farmer subsidies, less oil subsidies for starters.

Corporations and rich folks go by the same tax code as the rest of us.
