Why is Socialism so popular all of a sudden

[ptbw forever]

You'll have to do better than scream SOCIALISM and insult people.
Let's see how that goes.

Okay.
Venezuela.

Problem is, people know that's not the goal. They look at other countries. Canada. Australia. Germany.

So something better is still needed. It will need to include reason and intelligence.
.

None of those countries are much better than Venezuela.

All of a sudden in the 1930's socialism became popular in America as New Deal programs with socialist tenets were implemented to resolve the Great Depression by creating jobs and eventually prepare for WWII. 90 years later and 90 years after socialism became a major structure and part of the American economy, in 2018 some Americans are whining about Socialism "suddenly" becoming popular as if socialism in America is "new".

You are right.

Democrats are introducing communism now, not socialism.

You don't know what communism is junior. But what you want is fascism. That's what your white nationalism is.

Sorry, I really do not consider the claim of Democrats introducing communism to be a serious statement. Why not just accuse them of being agents of the Devil or space invaders?

 

[Mac1958]

For some, there is America, and then there is communism.

That's it. That's the choice. That's all there is.

Too funny.

White nationalism =//= fascism

Fascism is a specific type of government.

White nationalism is wanting a nation for white people.

You don’t know what any of the 3 terms are, moron.

There are many kinds of socialism. Can anyone name a country in the world that does not have or use socialist programs or policies?

I've tried this. Too complicated for some. The notion of a spectrum or continuum does not register.

Love it or hate it, is it not peculiar an idea that has been so taboo in our society is now mainstream, what happened? Why is socialism suddenly so popular?

Decades of increasing doses of Gubmint Cheese (social services programming and benefits) have made us lazy enough to go for it?

There are some things that we do better collectively, but we keep waffling between Bedford Falls and Pottersville, and can't get it right.

Socialist (previously calling themselves Democrats) have taken over the Education System;

Immigrants come for the handouts and to perpetrate their own cultures--most of which are as backward as Socialism;

60 million people living here don't speak the official language in their homes;

Loons and Gangs run Big Bankrupt Rotting Cities in the North;

In short---Democrats have fucked everything up that was once the greatest country in the history of the human experiment---and left us 21 trillion in debt in the process.

There is merit in what you say.

Trouble is, you (non-Democrats) do not present the country at-large with a viable middle-ground alternative.

The Republican Party has been the whore of Corporate America for a century.

The only reason you're still on your feet is as a periodic brake on the worst that the idiots on the Left serve-up.

But you stopped being the Party of the Common Man eons ago; it just took most of the 20th for Americans to catch on.

That's a fallacy to put it nicely.

Well... that's one opinion... declaring it thus does not render it thus, but... thank you for your feedback.

Democrats did not do this.

Actually it does since I worked with people on so called government programs and did not see one who chose tp stay on that program for life. So until you can restructure your thinking to talk about the government programs that never end like those which gives oil companies billions in subsidies while they make record profits, and other never ending programs for to the richest, then you will make sense.

Not to mention the huge amount of money we spend on the military.
