MSNBC's Harris-Perry Seminar: Socialism Never Took Hold in USA Because...Racism
MRC Newsbusters ^ | Oct 21, 2015 | Tim Graham

Posted on 10/22/2015 5:09:23 AM PDT by Maceman

Soopermexican at The Right Scoop found another definitive Melissa Harris-Perry moment on Saturday morning. In rejoicing over how Bernie Sanders is making America safe for socialism (and socialist critiques of capitalism), she asked her panel why America has always been so persistently opposed to socialism. She had a pet theory. Why could that be? Racism, of course. . .

Well, “racism” should be out of the equation now.

MHP is like the guy whose record collection consisted of nothing but Led Zeppelin albums.

One sound, one band, one drone, repeat, rewind.

I was driving to work today. There was a black lady in the car behind me. We all got through a green light and I just beat the yellow, making the black lady behind my stop... racism.

After all, it worked so well in Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, Viet Nam, China, North Korea, Cambodia, etc, etc, etc, etc.

How many hundreds of millions murdered by their own governments from all those noble experiments?

And the Nazis were socialists, too. Nazi is an acronym for National Socialist German Workers Party

The title is half right. Socialism was rejected by the pilgrims because it failed.

Socialism never took hold n the USA because for more than a century America has seen it fail over and over and over and over again all over the world...

A political ideology such as socialism is at its core racist...

Just ask the blacks in Cuba, the Indian people’s where the Spanish conquers the lands they lived in....

MPH is simply duamb....her braids must be wound way to tight and cutting off the oxygen to her brain...

Pretty obvious - one of the first things the Nazi’s (National Socialist) Party did was gun confiscation. Then they hold all the cards...not that we are seeing a similar trend with the DemoSocialist Party now or anything.

“Even a little bit of Socialism rots the Soul”. (Shafarevich, Solzhenitsyn)

What do these men who lived under Stalin “know” that the useful idiots don’t?

Government is evil since it is force. You can NEVER trust government, ever. History has proven that over and over—as do the millions of people killed by their own “government”. Individuals are who invent and innovate and they need Freedom, but are crushed by the system of “group think” and top down control/slavery.

Government must be limited or there is never Individualism-—it is always a “collective” (socialism) which destroys the individual Natural Rights from God. Group think is not being able to “think” for yourself. Socialism is always majority tyranny-—exactly like a lynch mob.

Collectives (Socialism) make emotions supreme, which rule Reason. It always a puerile, evil state which creates dependent, puerile, virtueless people always.

That is what the object of “socialism” is, anyway—to destroy Virtue in people so they remain puerile and dependent. The puppet masters want “happy slaves”.

Hey, stupid anchor bimbo...

Socialism IS ALREADY HERE.

It appears not to have arrived NOT because of “racism” (you stupid, one-response reactionary) but because the socialists keep changing the term so that we are “never there” if we are anywhere short of a full Stalinist state.

Go to this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Chase

Scroll down and read the “wish list” of political and economic changes that Stuart Chase (die-hard communist/socialist) wanted for America, which he referred to as Free Enterprise into “X.” These were the “socialist” changes he saw under Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin.

Does that list look at all familiar you primped-and-preened mindless teleprompt reader?
