Socialism is an easy sell and very attractive to people who like the idea of getting something for nothing. Especially so if it means making successful people (whom they resent) pay for it.

It’s a failure and subversion of the US education system.

The heated political battle between Americanism and Socialism

---

Can we no longer say ‘capitalism’? My definition of Americanism as practiced today has a unhealthy dose of socialism baked right in.

[Billthedrill]

Becoming an emotional adult requires embracing a fact based cause-and-effect view of the world that rejects the fantasies of childhood. “No Johnny, you cannot fly like a bird even though you really really really want to.” What happens if Johnny insists that he can fly and takes a confident leap from a tall building?

Roughly the same thing that happens when you say "No, Johnny, you aren't really a girl," and he decides to get "reassigned" to prove he is. And for exactly the same reason.

...battle between Americanism and Socialism...

That is a good way of framing it.

America is susceptible to socialism because we’re a kindhearted people and socialism appeals to our kindheartedness.

Are they confusing social media with socialism?

Are they confusing social media with socialism?

I think they are.

Mos socialists never volunteer for socialism, such as jouning armed forces full time or moving to a socialist kibutz writ large paradise.

[a fool in paradise]

Class envy and despotic overlords.

Those who push for it always always always want to live in the ivory and tell you what you cannot do.

"Socialism is a tough sell to Americans who evaluate ideas based on facts and a remarkably easy sell to Americans who evaluate ideas based on feelings.

Right VS left... Gee Linda, little behind the curve ain't you.. What else is new...?
Oh, I see now, your in Canada.... That explains it...

never forget one thing (and I’m saying it this way because I often forget it myself when I get stuck looking at the trees and forget the forest) you can analyze the outward symptoms all you want but the true root problem is that most people who want socialism are afraid of failure and want protection from it.

[Dick Bachert]

Actually, I fear that the socialism ploy is just a step to ISLAM & SHARIA LAW!

[shanover]

We are at the point where takers will soon will be more than makers.

The Venezuelan experience is currently being denied.

[jughandle]

Much easier now that many people are convinced they are the victims of something, and their problems are someone else’s fault. One political party specifically has been pushing that for quite some time..

[jmacusa]

Let Johnny take a flying leap. Push him if you have to. Stupidity should hurt. Never discount the spiritually transforming experience of pain.
