Really?
Socialism? We've tried that dozens of times. It never works. You seriously think we need to try it again???
The only thing good I can think of about socialism is that it will bring an end to America’s obesity epidemic.
Because of an incurable, deeply wired flaw in human brains that dictates that heaven is achievable on earth.
Its ironic that every single time socialism is set up, it always dails because everytime the failure is blamed on the wrong people running it.
Also ironic that these same wrong people running failed systems adorn tshirts, romaticized movies, and ornaments of the so called socialist lovers who want socialism but say it fails because of these very same wrong people.
Castro got it wrong, but i still love him and have a tshirt of his with Che’s.
you know its a lie. because they dont reject the people they claim messed up their attempt at socialism. they still worship them.
Socialism is just another form of oligarchy.
There’s still time.
Why Are We Still Debating the 'Merits' of Socialism?
We are still debating the ‘merits' of socialism for the simple reason that journalists are cynical about society. No other conclusion is possible when journalists, who know that “if it bleeds it leads” and therefore journalism is negative towards society, claim to be objective. “Negativity is objectivity” only to a cynic.But cynicism is not simply “extreme skepticism.” Skepticism is doubt, and cynicism is best understood as the absence of doubt. For it is essentially impossible to be cynical about everything. If you are cynical about “A,” you are naturally inclined by default to naiveté about the opposite of “A.”
Journalists are cynical about society and, perforce, journalists are naive about its opposite - government (see Common Sense).
Monopolistic journalism has been able to snow the public with its claims of “journalistic objectivity.” And monopolistic journalism will continue to propagandize for the “Democrat” socialist party until it is sued under antitrust law and libel law, and brought to (relative) heel.
“Socialism is just another form of oligarchy.”
Most definitely.
I’ve come to the belief that there is no way we will preserve what we grew up thinking of as America without physically fighting for it. It’s tragic.
As an aside, how ironic that we push for a firewall between religion and government, but we allow collusion between academia and government - which is much more pernicious and dangerous.
Great article! Forced-Sharing-Doesn’t-Work BUMP
Why are we still debating the second amendment?
Exactly! Why are we debating ANYTHING in our Constitution? Live here, in America, as a Free Person - or go start your own Commie Hippie Commune elsewhere.
Plenty of other Commie countries will GLADLY take you in!
A republican form of government is not the same as a capitalist economy. You can vote for a government take over of industry. Now the tricky part is that real socialism can never allow a vote to return to capitalism.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.- Sir Winston Churchill
Bingo!

Because 80% of humans are sheep and a large majority of them were taught in the marxist schools that “Ignorance is strength”. So they learned to not think critically but instead to just follow the crowd.

All budding and committed socialist know that all socialist revolutions follow the same pattern in the early days before the true leader emerges:
Those who fought against the tyranny of the previous government are not trust worthy and in the new socialist paradise only the trusted can exist. Since they betrayed their former government, they cannot be trusted in this one and so must be Purged ...
Generally speaking, the Purge will encompass some show trials of the more prominent, followed by a reeducation course, and then, disappeared ... permanently.
All budding and committed socialist can be proud that the revolution will live on after they meet their untimely pain-filled ends ...
True.
But a Republican Government is not the government Socialists advocate. Social Democracy is what they push. This is why they trash the EC. And Socialism by definition is political as well as economical.
