Here’s a old saying about socialism. (Well, it’s not so old. I made it up.) Anyway...

Socialism is like a three-layered drink. And if you accept the drink, you must drink it all.

The top layer is sweet.
The middle layer is sour.
And the bottom layer is poisonous.

The only good that comes from Socialism ...is escaping it or ending it (usually via war)

As a matter of fact, the worst part of socialism is a complete lack of incentives. Whatever you do you get about as much as somebody who does not do anything! As a consequence, nobody does (almost) anything. Maybe stealing from the state, which is the only way to get ahead.

So socialistic states just freeze in time. Amazing time warp machine! You get the cars from 50ies in Cuba! Socialismus is actually the most “conservative” society at all. No change, no progress, noting! Constant “temporary” shortages, standing in lines for everything, barter, corruption.

no those laces are socialist states

socialism is “a work in progress”

so socialist states are in varying degrees of progress, not all at the same level

socialism is “the struggle towards communism”

so it will forever be a progressive struggle of more and more things socialism

so yes, almost all european countries are socialist, and working towards being ever more socialist due to the policies they enact

As Mark Steyn says, “You can vote your way into Socialism, but you have to shoot your way out...”

Socialism is akin to Halloween. One collects for a few short years and then pays back until he dies.

Bernie type of socialism is history in Scandinavia. It used to be like that, but it lead to partial collapse. Suddenly the Nordic counties found themselves behind and loosing the most productive members. It took major restructuring, major political battles, major tax cuts, very painful times to finally reach current status. Still too much welfare, but a lot less then Bernie would like.

It’s easy to understand socialism. The people who push it are of vicious intent. They seek mass misery and death purposefully with malice aforethought. Don’t ever be suckered into thinking they are misguided are anything other than evil and destructive. socialism is just another scheme for creating misery and death while pretending to help people.

It really is that simple. AOC, Omar, Hillary, Obama... all are evil and motivated by a desire to cause maximum harm to people and society. Attempting to reason with them is a waste of time.

Socialism works...for the socialist politician.

Rules of Socialism:

The primary beneficiaries of socialist policies is the socialist politician.

Secondary is the bureaucracies that support these policies.

Tertiary is the so-called beneficiaries.

All socialist politicians are consummate liars. They have to be. (if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.)

I ‘m not reading this carp.
Socialism is just Communism elected into power by fraudulent means and it needs to be put down today.
Typing on my ipad won’t fix carp either.

Socialists murder same as communists except they deny healthcare and a good living which grinds down the peasants.

Socialism is cynicism directed towards society and - correspondingly - naiveté towards government. (my tag).

Per Thomas Paine,Common Sense (1776),
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.
Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness;

the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices.

The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions.

The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one . . .
Thus “society” and government” are in a real sense opposites. And cynicism is not “extreme skepticism,” it is naiveté towards the opposite of whatever one is cynical about.

Hence cynicism towards society directly corresponds to naiveté about government. Naiveté, that is, towards an evil . . .
