Right blaming every violent death on something and proclaiming a pretty center party as part of the fault...Since 1917 socialists have destroyed the countries they controlled and murdered close to, if not over, 200 million innocent men, women, and children……..
That is why we fear socialism…..
Subject: Welfare StateThey don't see blacks as Americans.
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.

They don't see blacks as Americans.
They had serfs in Russia, Britain, Germany, but they always saw the serfs as part of their people, their tribe, if you will.
Many Americans don't see blacks as the tribe.
They don't want to give money to outsiders, and they think of black Americans as outsiders.
Can we have a show of hands on that one?How many times do you have to burn your fingers before you figure out not to
put your hand in the fire?
THIS time, we'll do Socialism the RIGHT way....And yet another generation romanticizes........."if only we had our people in charge this time.....it would work!!!!"

the reason is described in this video, its called sadopopulism. however, they arent actually 'scared', perhaps some of this is due to fear, but in many cases its just that they feel better when others have lessWhat 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.

And thank you St Reagan for getting the debt ball rollingWe have 30 trillion socialisms in the debt hole. Yeah, it's working out great. Perhaps we can rename it to the "people's republic".

A version of ‘socialism’ works in the likeminded nordics…they don’t have 20-50 million thirdworlders and 40 million Africans to foster.Right blaming every violent death on something and proclaiming a pretty center party as part of the fault...
Lets try this again... The premise of the OP is that 'Social Democracy' which is a government style of Western Europe has benefited them greatly... Other people call this 'Regulated Capitalism', they are effectively the same..
Lets compare Germany to US over last ten years, Germany has had a surplus for 8 of those 10 years, has universal Healthcare, Free Education even third level, very low crime rate (compared to US), takes in more refugees than US per Captia, strong enviromental laws, solid safety net, less recidivism crime rate.....
Just in case you want to go down NATO military spending route. Germany has spent plenty enough tanks and planes to defend itself against Russia (only enemy in region). What they spent money on was CyberDefence and vaccine R&D, most of the vaccines taken in the US for COVID R&D was paid for by the German Government.
Germany is a country run under Social Democracy. So please tell us the advantages with evidence of the type of government you are proposing...
None of that is socialism. There were fire departments long before Marx. You clowns will steal anything to get what you want.So your want no roads, police, Military, Fire Depts...
If firefighters come to put fire out you would be "fruits of my labor stolen"...
Don't worry there would be no Courts or Prisons either...
