What is Socialism?

"Chris Jagger, the younger brother of Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger, said his brother was doing "okay" after undergoing emergency heart valve replacement surgery last week in New York City and, he added, "at least he [Mick Jagger] has not got to wait in line for the NHS," the government-run National Health Service in Britain. ..."​

The Dem/Socialists hate him reminding everyone of that.

Margaret Thatcher --

Marxists get up early to further their cause. We need to get up even earlier to defend our freedom.​

Had to bump this topic because of this Dana Perino quote.

“Conservatism is based on facts, logic and reality. Liberalism is based on theory, feelings and fantasy”

“When you say, #cancelstudentdebt, you’re saying a minority of people who had the advantages of obtaining a degree should have their debt paid off by hardworking taxpayers, 2/3 of them don’t have a degree themselves or have already paid their own student debt off. This is immoral!”

Most Republicans don't like it when cops kill citizens. That's socialism too. Actually having the government murder civilians is pretty typical of socialist states. Way to go Mayor Pete!

You didnt like my post?
Well, you know what that means

 

[Monahorns]

Yes. Republicans don't like Socialism and Democrats are Socialists. Sounds about right.

I was attempting to make fun of Buttigieg, but failed. Your post is fine. And I'm not a socialist; at least as far as I know.

 

[Mr. Deez]

So what do socialists turn to when things are going badly? Slavery. Link.

 

[Joe Fan]

These same people here would love nothing better than to do this to us, if they can just gain enough political power
Dont let them win elections
It's up to you

The well known poster will soon explain how Venezuela 'problems are all Trump's fault
Which means Trump is forcing them into slavery
Which proves he is a racist.

They always have death squads
I guess its easy to do when the govt seizes all the privately-held weapons first

Socialism=Slavery. Venezuela just is becoming more like the theoretical ideal.

It makes me sick because I'm paying for my children's college education. I'm thinking we should have loaded up on debt and then vote for Warren in 2020.

I know... but this kind of thing makes you think like that.

 

[Horn6721]

yea but there are enough socialists who do think AND act that way, sadly.

I may have said this before but to me socialism is like porn. I can't define it but I know it when I see it. The actual measurable to me is the growth of government bureaucracy. To me it is virtually impossible to hold a politician accountable. For this reason alone I am against ever increasing concentrations of centralized power. My firm belief is that our freedoms will be taken away. Speeches are not policy. Power is policy. And I believe those who make speeches don't actually run the government; they only serve to brain-wash us and enrich themselves. Those who run the government are the vast bureaucracy; that is where corruption, waste and abuse is born and grows without impediment.

California passed a law that you can’t take a shower and do laundry in the same day or you get fined $1,000. Second offense is $10,000 fine.

So how would they know? This is why I've always been leery of all this connected smart technology to monitor water and electricity from my phone. If I can see the information anyone can which means anyone can control it...except me because I'm just not as good with technology anymore.

I believe it stated that if the water bill jumps up 55 gallons in a day then they know laundry was done. So any other spike has to be a shower. I guess they can take a 30 second shower and they wouldn’t know.

Holy Moly
There will be a dept in Ca monitoring that?
And even more stunning the people in Ca are ok with that?

They aren't really ok with that which is why they move to Texas and vote for the same kind of over reaching government.
