Tens of thouands of socialist true believers swarmed to the "worker's paradise" following "The Revolution". It didn't turn out well for them at all, at all.
That’s living?
How many people came to the USA to get away from socialism? “Socialist America” is an oxymoron.
There. Fixed it.
That’s not very taxing to the imagination.
We do not have to imagine very much what it would be like to live in a “Socialist America”. We have already traveled a good distance down that road.
“Obamacare”, though it was a quantum leap, still is not all the way there. There is, after all, a great deal of freedom in determining with whom we shall choose to spend our lives, and most of us have not been prosecuted for what has surely become some series of “unlawful” acts we commit on a daily basis. But according to the climate in today’s world, and particularly that territory once known as “the United States of America”, the laws do not reflect actual criminal activity, and even then, they are enforced in a capricious and unpredictable manner, and are often at contradictory and unresolved differences with any real criminal behavior.
Any attempt to institute socialism in America must not simply be defeated. It must be destroyed.
The only question is, whose skulls will form the mounds? Theirs, or ours?
From the article:
“Discussions, debates, even battles will continue, and social justice committees will be elected by the union membership to look into complaints and to dig up and root out capitalist, racist, and sexist weeds that continue to grow.
Get that? You are probably a “weed” that needs to be “rooted out.” Your neighbors will be encouraged to report your anti-revolutionary behavior - or report you for that because you kicked their dog.
On such trivialities and metaphors are people lined up against the wall and shot.”
As is so often the case, the problem here is with definitions.
When it comes to economics, which is the real issue under discussion, there are two definitions for "fair."
1. Equal distribution.
2. Distribution in proportion to contribution.
The two are of course inherently in conflict.
Capitalism is based on #2, socialism on #1.
Neither implements its root principle fully, but that's what they're shooting for.
One chapter is out there on the interweb. Basically calls for the nationalization of Fox News. Of all media actually. How would news then be disseminated without EEEEEVIL corporations involved? By “community groups and public stakeholders”. Dig into the boilerplate of what the hell that means, and basically, it means unions.
So stories about Miley Cyrus’ twerking and Richard Sherman’s histrionics would be replaced by stories about how Joe Blow down at the meat packing plant is getting SCROOOOD by his bosses.
And how would these “journalists” be paid? With big public subsidies, of course.
My theory is that they are trying to push the ball down the field as far as they can rhetorically, so that when Obama only gets us halfway there we’ll all go “phew!” and breathe a big sigh of relief.
From the article:
“An excerpt of the book appears in Salon. It’s long, but well worth the read.”

I’ll get back to this thread later.
