Why not move to Cuba or France if you want socialism?

[bripat9643]

Why not move to someplace where you can just shoot people who offend you? You would be so much happier.

That makes no sense. There are those that want America to become a socialist country and that's a fact. Claiming people who want our country to remain a capitalist and free country want to shoot people is assinine. Is that the only argument you can come up with? Can I assume from the snippy answers we often get that you have no defense for socialism and resort to stupid zingers like that?

The correct answer, if you're a real American, is that we won't become socialist. Can't do that, eh?

You have to understand how these morons think. H.L. Mencken stated it eloquently almost 100 years ago:

Syllogisms à la Mode — If you are against labor racketeers, then you are against the working man. If you are against demagogues, then you are against democracy. If you are against Christianity, then you are against God. If you are against trying a can of old Dr. Quack's Cancer Salve, then you are in favor of letting Uncle Julius die.

It's the goddam dictionary, you moron!

In other words, you believe it's infallible.

Are you really that fucking stupid?

No, but apparently you are if you don't get what a dictionary is.


What a totally arrogant doofus.

A dictionary is a book written by fallible human beings who are full if biases and prejudices.

Apparently you think it was written by angels and that it has no errors.

And you have the gal to call me a moron!

 

[LibertyLemming]

Still waiting for someone to tell me how libertarianism doesn't account for human nature.

Still waiting for someone to tell me how libertarianism doesn't account for human nature.

It doesn't stop evil businessmen from making bad products before anyone knows they are bad.

Did you really expect an intelligent answer from these morons? Erik the Red is trying to tell me the Dictionary is infallible. You have to have a sub-human intelligence to believe something that stupid.

Can we apply what you just said to the Constitution?

 

[GuyPinestra]

Go ahead and defend the statement that libertarianism ignores human nature.

You'll learn soon enough that Fakey doesn't defend ANYTHING he posts...

Sure, but I don't know how you think that justifies anything the government has done in the last 80 years.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are not.

I missed where rw bripat said "the dictionary is not the ultimate authority on the definition of words". Mitt said the same thing -- That he has no use for mere facts. He just makes it up as he goes along and what's good enough for Mitt is good enough for his lemmings.

Let me get this straight: you think everything in the dictionary is a fact? You think the dictionary is infallible?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Using "socialist" welfare policies that you detest. Go check out their medical care, their old age pensions, their education systems, the law courts.

We are a capitalist country, and in much of the above areas we compare poorly.

So, I take it, based on your comments, we should imitate those countries far more closely.

Those are all capitalist countries.

Go sell that it in Denmark and Sweden and Finland, for starters.

Socialism is such an anti-human disease.

[JakeStarkey]

Libertarianism is a philosophy of government, capitalism is a form of economics.

Know the difference.

No it doesn't. Capitalism is the system based on the facts of human nature.

Because it ignores human nature as blithely as does communism.

Won't work.

How is wanting your country to be a true beacon of freedom anti-American or diseased?

How does it NOT justify anything?

Definition of SOCIALISM
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

So how does Cuba not fit that definition?

I was addressing the thread and making it clear to some of our posters to what exactly real socialism is, which varies greatly to what some posters think it is.

Wow, you are really a total fuckin'....

It must be a conspiracy by all various dictionaries!

Socialism | Define Socialism at Dictionary.com

Now that's pretty close to Merriam-Webster's definition. Oh look!

1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved

Yup, no doubt there's a conspiracy among dictionaries to fool all the people by coming up with almost the same word for word definitions! I bet ACORN is involved and Muslims and Commies too.

 

[AbrahamLincoln]

hey, Mr. Pervert-Pic... now some lines from me: ...time to stop this Obamination (killing/destruction of the youngest breed/race of Americans, the Babies... (3 times vote of this man for partial-birth-abortion), rejection of talks with the Prime Minister of Israel several times, crippling & destruction of the economy of the US and worldwide, destruction of the moral and biblical foundations of America (cancelling the day of prayer while celebrating Ramadan in the white house..., & the other time of the year B.Hussein Obama wearing a ring with "Allah u akhbar" (the moon-God Allah is greater... than who? (greater than Jesus & His father??) being engraved) & denouncing in his Homeland-Security-Papers people, who made the US great as terrorists (bible-believing Christians, 2nd amendment-groups & Veterans(!)) & then insulting candidate Romney, calling him a a "bullshitter" etc.; oh Bummer, this shameful policy has got 2 stop...

Thanks for pointing out what no one ever denied, Fakey.

You are not an intelligent life form.

"Real socialism" is what Obama and every other Democrat believes in.

The 5th and the 10th Amendments bar pretty much everything the government has done in the last 80 years.

How is that relevant to my post, Fakey?

 

[bodecea]

Why not move to Cuba or France if you want socialism?

Why destroy America???? We don't want your rat poison.

Or join the US military...it's socialist....and does quite well.
