That's absurd. According to you, two people can't shake hands, work together, or agree on anything, without socialism.

 

That is a stretch. Almost everything I mentioned is funded by tax dollars and not privately owned (Unions aren't funded by tax dollars but I believe we both agree those are socialist).

 

Dare you to walk into a crowded military bar and yell "You're a bunch of Socialists!".

 

Probably a stretch there but the military is funded by the public and is not a PMC.

 

Some of the things on your list were created with socialism directly responsible... I would support to dissolve them completely.

 

Would you care to point out a few? I imagine social security would be one of them.

 

You seem to have the misconception that anything government does is socialism.

 

From an economic aspect a lot of programs are Socialist. There can be an argument said that social programs are not Socialism. That said almost everything I listed has been complained about and called Socialist by Republican members of Government and/or pundits. 

 

You also seem to have the misconception that the USA is a Democracy... it is a Constitutional Republic.

 

Where did I mention Democracy?

 

The only power the Federal Government has over the States was granted to it through the Constitution.  The States can take that power away at any time... let's have a Constitutional Convention and see how things change.

 

To what end?

[Northern Empire]

socialism

"a theory or system of social organization that advocates the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, capital, land, etc., by the community as a whole, usually through a centralized government."

 

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/socialism

So the Government owns everything and parses it out to those that it sees fit, you don't decide what you need or want the Government does. 

 

and you wonder why in the entire history of the Human experiment Socialism has failed Every single time. 

 

even today, the socialist Countries can not survive without aid. they have already reached the maximum taxation level. but they still need tremendous amounts of aid from the US. 

AND YES- we provide your entire National defense, you would not exist as a free Nation if not for the evil Capitalists. 

[Lysistrata]

The goal is Communism... complete and total government control over everything.

 

The process has been to get everyone depending on government through the slow creep of ever-expanding socialism.

They like to believe it's "progress", and they like to call themselves "Progressive", but really, they're just socialists.

[onbekende]

And we once again went from misconstruing socialism as "gov take my money and give to my neighbour" to envoking the scare word "communism" which gets meshed with the autocratic/dictatorship reallife epithet while ignore the actual theoretical meaning.

 

Kinda like KevinH's textbook socialism quote, which is just that, textbook.

 

 

its why I mentioned the USA and Darkfox listing some pretty "social" services your government renders to its citizens.

 

 

and I thought we went thruw this before, your can be both a Republic and a Democracy...

Screw everyone, I only care about myself. Your child is starving because you can't afford to feed them. too bad, get a better job, come on pull yourself up by the boot straps. Stop stealing my hard earned money to take care of the lazy. 

 

Is that your ideal version of America?

[Lysistrata]

Screw everyone, I only care about myself.

I care about many people, but I don't have to care about everyone... including you.

Your child is starving because you can't afford to feed them.

My children are adults.

The USA has welfare... nobody starves here. Most people on welfare are all overweight and playing on their iPhones.

Only the children? The parents have to share the welfare with their kids... but I guess they're just that stupid...

And you're right... I don't care.

You do know that RFK would pull more from Republican side then Democratic right? Heck I'd venture a guess and say you got more going for your assumption if the crystal lady went 3rd ticket...

Oh, I'm sorry... I forgot about all the love between Republicans and the Kennedy's.

Biden landslide all the way. It's hard to understand why the DNC has been working overtime to bury this man.

I don't know anyone under 40 that gives a shit about anything that matters.

They're all staring at their phones doing whatever the current idiot tells them to do.

Well a part of the Republican voting pop are activly awaiting the return of JFK Jr., and hearing what RFK Jr. is spewing I see little to doubt my claim that he is better received on the Republican side.

[Lysistrata]

I see little to doubt my claim that he is better received on the Republican side.

Every Republican, including myself, will welcome RFK onto the ballot with open arms. No intention to vote for him, but every intention to see the Kennedy name snatch 20% of the Democrat vote from whatever brainless bag of guts the DNC can sucker into running for them.

 

It's growing more and more likely that it will not be Joe Biden. Kennedy must have some information that the DNC will not support his nomination if Biden drops out, and they will attempt to parachute the ex-husband of the wife of Donald Trump Jr... Gavin Newsom.

Kimberly Guilfoyle knows everything there is to know about Gavin Newsom... Trump won't be able to stop himself. Hysterical.

 

Now RFK will run just to make sure they don't win.

Joe Manchin is also threatening to run as "No Labels Party" to take even more from them.

It's interesting to watch, but I still see bad times ahead no matter who wins. The fate of the Roman Empire... history repeats.

The Kennedy family is by and far more popular to the left side. Republicans only are welcoming the news for the exact reason stated above; he's a third-party that will primarily steal votes that would otherwise be for the Democratic candidate. Whether that's 5% or 50% is irrelevant because votes are votes. In swing states even a 2- or 3-percent margin will easily give the state to the Republican nominee, and those battlegrounds are where the election is won.

 

It is true though, we're basically screwed both ways at the going rate. Most people have been conditioned by their respective sides to be completely intolerant of anything that isn't their beliefs, and in a country that's supposed to allow free expression of those beliefs that is leading to just more and more unnecessary hatred.

[onbekende]

The amount of praise for a family name only solidifies what the Republican party has become, only Trump or bust. RFK Jr. ongoing comments also place him closer to moderate Republicans then right-win Democrats.

 

Heck, how much voting population was even alive when a Kennedy was in the power, let alone of voting age. You'd have more luck trotting up a Clinton named individual to split the Dem vote.
