Why Are Americans and Conservatives So Afraid of Socialism?​

They aren't capable of recognizing how well propaganda has washed their brain of logic.

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:

1. I’m scared of having to pay for other people’s laziness
2. I’m scared because I don’t trust my government or other people generally
3. I’m scared because socialism leads to authoritarianism
4. I’m scared because socialists and communists kill a lot of people
5. I’m not scared, socialism always fails

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.

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.

Socialism is not community welfare

It's exactly the opposite

It's dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator

So here's what a "dumb ass" is: a dumb ass reflects on a strategy and policy and mistakes it for a finished functioning system.

That strategy and policy is mandated by marxism and used in every marxist nation.

The finished functioning system is nothing more than univeral slavery

So now we know you lack the brain for a coherent defense of histories worst economic/political system

of course that is typical as only the brainless support or defend that system.

BTW there are no worker COOPS in Cuba they simply establish a worker coop commitee in varuous businesses and pretend to represent the worker while the business still does ONLY what they are told to do by government.

You will fit in perfectly in Moscow, your misunderstanding of this is reflecting how inadequate you feel about yourself, there is along line that has your name on it and most identify with lazy people….

There are so many fallacies in that article, I don't even know where to begin.

Social spending is a toilet bowl into witch you piss all your money.

I have to agree and believe me I am sorely conflicted on the issue. On the one hand I am more than happy to help if I have extra but human nature being what it has always been simply means that I will end up paying for the junkie's drug habit and the pedophile's NAMBLA membership....it will always be the same. No thanks...

Al Capone ran soup kitchens

It gives them legitimacy.

Criminals do this as protection too.....they get the community on their side and the community then helps the criminals....telling them when the police are around,......the drug cartels specialize in this....they spend money on the towns surrounding their bases of operation, so that the locals tell them when the Federales are moving on their territory.......

That would be a more suitable description of capitalism.
