Not good. I have been reading up on socialism.

It has never worked in any country it has been tried in and inherently leads to tyranny.

I haven't read up on it too much because until now I didn't think I needed too. Thanks for your input.

I borrowed Glen Beck's Arguing with Socialists from the library. It's a really helpful book with visuals on each page.

Next Ill be reading The United States of Socialism by Dinesh D' Souza.

I feel the need the need to be educated on this issue because so many in my generation love socialism.

I understand the basics. Capitalism has worked well for the USA. Sad they'll be leaving us. The world has a better purpose than Capitalism, but only when Jesus returns. At least that's my understanding. The rich will just use socialism to retain power in my opinion.

Well there is no perfect utopian economic system. Capitalism is the most fair, I believe, because its the free market and consumers make choices every day with how they spend their money.

No group of politicians can regulate this well, especially for the U.S and its millions of people.

The premise of taking from the rich to give to the poor is immoral and is stealing. It robs people of the motivation to succeed or make the best products they can because their efforts will result in a lot of their money going to those who did not work as hard.

People's nature is to work hard for themselves and their families when they are rewarded. Socialism forces them to work so that the government can take most of it away.

Plus, individual freedoms always go away in socialist governments because they say that jts the good of the collective that matters instead.

If they like socialism so much they can leave the US and move to Cuba or Venezuela. I will even help them pack.
Exactly. And even the use of the word "socialism" is totally deceptive (as are all things Leftist).

What they are saying -- if indeed the poll is accurate -- is that they love Marxism/ Communism/Fascism/Anarchism/Bolshevism. I can bet (though I do not bet) that the pollsters did not actually ask the hard questions about tyranny and slavery under a Communist regime. Because that is exactly what Biden and his Communist gangsters in Washington are working on as we speak. When you combine the anarchy at the border with the anarchy in the house and senate as well as every government department, Joseph Stalin would be highly pleased.

Yes, that's what I've heard of it from other people. Capitalism allows people to accel and that in turn creates a better place to live.

I don’t think socialism will ever be part of the American fabric. This is just inflammatory talking points from both extremes on either side which are not very important.

Gary they're making people get vaccinated to hold a job here in Washington state. And we're not the only democrat run state requiring this. I just went to dinner last night and they made us put on masks to enter. These are socialist dictator maneuvers. Not to mention the lockdowns and now people losing their homes.

Respectfully I hope and pray we don't but we very well can fall.

When viewed not just as a political system but breaking the philosophy and tenets down and comparing them to scripture, its very easy to see the entire system of socialism ( communism lite) is very much aligned with basic Satanic methods used from the beginning.

My personal belief is that the current push we are facing is by design and fueled by those sources.

I cant prove that in any legitimate way but I feel I could make a defensible prima facie defensible case for my observation.

I think “socialism” is an inflammatory catch-all word to describe measures we may disagree with. ‘In the 1918 pandemic people were asked to wear masks. What’s sad is that science hasn’t advanced much, our two main points remain: 1. Wear a mask, 2. Wash you hands. Optional: get vaccinated.

That is completely false and called "gaslighting". Just read this article:
Socialism Is Modern Fascism
"Despite the assertion that fascism and socialism are diametric opposites, they are fundamentally cohesive. They are both completely committed to the repression and elimination of any dissent to their singular school of thought."

Realistically speaking, socialism happening in America is a far-fetched idea because our ideals are founded on free-markets. So we could discuss theoretically what could happen, if it happens but it has never happened and it won’t. I think extreme words are thrown around in the media from both sides but our system has not fallen under socialism nor it will be. I think these extreme words rile up the vulnerable causing them to do things they normally wouldn’t.

The Democrats just take. That is there whole platform. Robin Hood. Take from the rich and give to the poor. This appeals to young people. Because they haven’t spent their whole lives working for something, They don’t see the value of money that you haven’t earned. If they earned money and became rich I seriously doubt they would want someone to take it from them.

That stupid system doesn’t work and you should feel stupid if you think it’s a good idea. That is unless the schools didn’t teach the truth of the 20th century. The millions of people murdered from tyrants.

yea, thing is, in the US and most any society that has capitalism in it is there's no interest nor investment of time energy and means unless there's money in it. and politically both sides are at this time throwing you know what against the wall, to see what sticks. its SOP.

see now is the time to influence voters and the like, not when they are aware they are being influenced during elections.

back in the day the dem's used to represent the working class (unions and the like hence the Kennedy ties with mob like) in the US and the rep's the corporate interests. today if you notice the dem's are hot on health care for your own good, but that's because the insurance companies are backing them thanks to the Clintons. it was easy, corporations as a whole don't like insurance because insurance has become like taxes that they have to pay. in the US you can't do a thing without it being insured, and it has to be done in the interest of it not coasting the insurance companies.

when it comes to profits in insurance they make oil look like paupers.


so if i was a socialist country out to take down the US i would invest in insurance and media until they had to do what i wanted them to.
