MSNBC’s O’Donnell: ‘Cuba’s Problem Is Not Too Much Socialism,’ They Have ‘Too Much Dictatorship’

Indeed.

There is always too much dictatorship when there is too much socialism.

[T.B. Yoits]

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell is a hypocrite; he believes so little in Socialism that he refuses to share his earnings and home with others.

[al_c]

Socialism and dictatorship go hand in hand.

[bray]

You cannot have slaves without a strong master.

[Petrosius]

Socialism, the repression of individual freedom for the sake of the collective good, is dictatorship. Whether it is a dictatorship of an individual or of a committee is irrelevant.

[ctdonath2]

Progressives believe that socialism will be run by a benevolent wise oligarchy guided by the wishes of an intelligent populace, that communism will be leader-free (and money-free) with an enthusiastic generous voluntary populace making invariably correct choices.

Progressives do not see that the inevitable mistakes & selfishness of humans mean such systems can only be achieved by brutal dictatorship imposing adherence to the system.

[Da Coyote]

Ah, another of N claims that “they didn’t do it right, but we would” claims. And N is a really big number.

These clowns know very well that socialism/Communism never has and never will work.

Democrats/media are the enemy.

Treat them as such.

[existentially_kuffer]

Inherently socialism can’t solve problems.

[Red Badger]

You can’t have one without the other.
No sane person would want to live in a Communist hellhole.................

O’Donnell said, “If the United States had been wise enough to remove the embargo 50 years ago, the Cuban dictatorship would have had no convenient excuse for the deprivations Cuba has suffered.

Don't Cubans have access to the rest of the world?

[Tommy Revolts]

[Tell It Right]

The purpose of socialism is communism.

[DesertRhino]

Dictatorship is a feature of central planning, because ultimately you have to enforce the plan and cannot tolerate people who’s idea of freedom leads them to act against the plan.

[Migraine]

Annnnnd, show them what’s behind door number 3, Johnny...

It’s....... BOTH!

So what’ll it be?

[knarf]

[MercyFlush]

Why does a communist/socialist country need to engage in capitalist trade to prosper?

[mjp]

After the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the establishment of the classless society, the state is supposed to wither away.

[liberalh8ter]

Making Socialism Necessary Because Communism will follow.

[Walrus]

More to the point, socialism is the antithesis of liberty.

[Gritty]

Communism never gets beyond the "dictatorship of the proletariat" stage.

As one sage (PJ O'Rourke, I think) said, "Socialism is Communism sold by the drink". Cuba left the "by the drink" stage back in 1959 when Che' started lining their enemies up against the wall by the thousands and shooting them. It has been in the "firehose" stage ever since.

O'Donnell is the same fool he always has been. He just keeps adding fresh layers of lipstick to cover his stink. One would think age would impart some wisdom. All it has imparted to him is more wrinkles and verbal incontinence problems.
