FASCISM - The government orders you to give the fruits of your labor to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

COMMUNISM- The government takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

SOCIALISM- The government politely takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM - The government, at the request of 51% of voters, politely takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

Dem-socialists? I believe they are some of the pols in Switzerland that urged Swiss folks to vote YES! to let Brussels tell them how to restrict private weapons. And it passed. Dumbasses. 🙄

Democratic Socialists do not believe in using force . . .

Well, that is unless, of course, you say or think something that is deemed unacceptable by their special PC police.

"...The word "socialism" is loaded with incorrect meanings..."

Of...course it is. We can't have that.

And to Leftists to whom words mean everything and reality and history mean nothing, that is a very serious problem they must combat.

God forbid "Socialism" (And ESPECIALLY "Democratic Socialism") get dragged down by "incorrect meanings".

THIS video is for THOSE people:
Bill Whittle: "Socialism is For Suckers-Venezuela"

God forbid "Socialism" (And ESPECIALLY "Democratic Socialism") get dragged down by "incorrect meanings".

Some of us understand it all too well.

That is why we are strongly against it.

They have great propaganda and horrible reality.

Democrat socialism: the illusion that socialism will turn out just swell if implemented correctly, even though it never worked before, and the Democtats know how to make it work.

[ctdonath2]

Socialists never discuss productivity. They never consider the incentive to work, that great rewards promote great progress. And they never comprehend that one person can literally be 1000x more productive than another.

Socialists think wealth is fixed and durable, merely needs “fair redistribution”. They don’t comprehend that wealth can be created & destroyed, it’s fragile.

[TLI]

and the video goes on to claim socialism lies in between those extremes, and "Democratic Socialism" lies in between traditional socialism and capitalism

Every single "example" touted as an improvement for the United States is requiring socialism on a national scale.

The kiddies in "colleges" have no clue what socialism on a national scale can lead to.

I was lucky enough to have seen a tiny but quite real bit of it with my own eyes.

In 1974 I was working at TI and there was a lady there that was very outspoken on most all news subjects.

One day she pulled up her sleeve, sure enough there was a crude 6 digit number between her elbow and wrist.

I can still remember it clearly to this day.

Socialism on a national scale can be a very real thing here and it will not have anything to do with free college or medical care.

It will be the root cause of a very real war.
