Bernie Is A Communist. Democratic Socialism is an Oxymoron

Your posts are getting dumber all the time.

Capitalism, as practiced in the US, is grand theft. Corporations profits are at all-time highs and wages have been stagnant for decades,. All the profit the workers have created was confiscated by the top 1 percent. Meanwhile, their taxes have gotten slashed over and over. Trump has accelerated the plutocracy.

Government floods the US with immigrants (flooding America with cheap labor) and bogs down the economy with regulations (which protects the rich against competition), yet you blame freedom for stagnant wages. You're a fkcing moron.
 
Capitalists everywhere, and right-wing Americans from everybody, as you know. What are they stealing? Everything not nailed down, obviously - and the nails, if they can.

What a massive pile of stupid. So based on this response, you have NO clue and so you just bloviate ignorantly. Thanks for the clarification.

Indeed, Gonzomin is a fucking moron. ;)
 
Rightys have such strange bunker mentalities. Robo is among the worst. There is no socialism and no capitalism. Every country has a mixture.

How can every country have a mixture of what isn’t? You claim there’s neither, then claim there’s both, which is it friend?

Scandinavian countries have corporations , private enterprise and citizens work for a living as they do here. They just care about their people more than our wealthy do.

Scandinavian countries have fewer in population than most American states. Their tax rates are higher, their wait times for healthcare are longer, & most provide private health insurance opportunities where citizens of higher economical means get quicker & better care through their private insurance plans, proving that capitalism beats the hell out of socialism every day of the week. Also Scandinavian nations pay a tiny fraction of their GDP for national defense making their socialism more affordable. They depend on NATO for their national defense where AMERICA is the far, far greater contributor in every part of the global defense system both economically & militarily.

They provide healthcare and safety nets. Of all the industrial countries, just one does not have universal healthcare. All the other industrial countries are not Socialists.

If universal healthcare is the great system that lefties say it is, how come NO state in America has instituted it, as would actually be constitutional as opposed to an unconstitutional system imposed on America by the federal government that has absolutely NO constitutional authority? I know why, because NO state can afford it & some know it sucks!

In America, we name call and label what we do not want to have here. It is dishonest. It works on rightys very well though. Call it Socialism and the rightys bring out torches and pitchforks.

Why would lefties get so upset about identifying socialism as socialism, when y’all lefties deny there’s such a thing as socialism or anything in America is socialist?

The low level mob mentality is so easy to trigger.

The lowest level mentality I’m seeing in America these days is when I turn on CNN & MSNBC, or when I’m informed by FOX about the fascist communist in our universities denying the right to speak to conservative voices. Or the Democrat politicians who attempt to slander & criminalize our President and call for the “kicking” of his supporters. Or call for leftist supporters to harass our President’s supporters at restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations & anywhere they can be found.

Universal healthcare is cheaper, covers all the people and is more humane.

If you truly believe that horseshit, then lobby your state government to institute it state wide. Two states have already considered that, researched it and found out it’s expensive beyond all ability to finance.
 
Appears most Trumpkins on this forum have a junior high understanding of economics and economic systems, they still view the world thru a Cold War lense, the dichotomy makes it easy for them to "understand"

What was different about the cold war? Russia, China, North Korea & Cuba. When was that war truly over?

Lefties are the easiest to understand, they're mentally ill folks that think everybody else is mentally ill!
 
Who are these thieves and what are they stealing?

They don't answer rational questions, their talents stop at the border of honest rational debate. Childish insults & unfounded, evidence-less insinuations are their agenda. They believe it makes them look intelligent.
 
Just look at 19th century America for examples of the great gaping holes in capitalism. Social Security is just one of those patches. Unions are another. As is much of the government regulation that Trump has been busily dismantling.

Social Security as a federal program has ZERO constitutional authority & can be, and so often is created more successfully by rational people who save and invest for their own future retirement, therefore proving that your socialist patch has ZERO necessity except for unconstitutional bribery by fed politicians to secure a block vote for their particular political party. Furthermore America’s states have the socialist authority to create such programs & thereby citizens have the freedom to vote with their feet and move to a state without such authoritarian anti-freedom force in effect.

Unions aren’t institutions of socialist force as long as they can’t mandate membership as most are & do unconstitutionally. Unions can be & often are a valuable collective guarantee and demand for such things as safety and wage equality to production. It’s only when they are allowed to force membership by government law that they become a socialist unnecessary patch to capitalism, otherwise they’re simply a free bargaining operation.

True capitalism isn't being practiced in America. "CRONY" Capitalism is being practiced in America. That's when corporations write favorable legislation for themselves that eliminate competition, make them & their crony politicians rich when they pass said legislation. Socialism won't fix that, Dumping the duopoly D's & R's politicians out on their asses & replacing them regularly with honest folks would do the trick, but Americans aren't that informed, interested or politically intelligent. That's why Ben Franklin warned us that justice was ours if we could keep it.

A typical right wing thread devoid of facts and rooted in emotions that were created by right-wing propaganda. Corporations are bogged down with rules that stop them from poisoning the air, land, and water. Even a low-level righty like you can understand the government is the only power that can stand up to corporations. You want the good old days when Pittsburg skies were black at noon and rivers had no fish. Wasn't that a great time? You, idiots, do not understand which side, corporations, or the government is charged with helping the people. https://www.citylab.com/design/2012...hen-it-decided-it-had-pollution-problem/2185/ ou people are so easy to lead around.

Well if they are trying to look intelligent, I can't think of a bigger FAIL. :laugh:

The FAIR TAX and mandatory term limits on Congress would eliminate that.

Nope. Capitalism is not theft at all. Capitalism creates wealth. Socialism is theft. It only exist by stealing wealth.
Corporations profits are at all-time highs
This is a problem? Why are you averse to profits?
and wages have been stagnant for decades,.
Wages are not related to corporate profits. They are determined by price discovery.
All the profit the workers have created was confiscated by the top 1 percent.
Nope. You are just angry because you have a shitty job and there are too many people doing the same job as you.
Meanwhile, their taxes have gotten slashed over and over.
So have yours, if you are paying any.
Trump has accelerated the plutocracy.
No, you are trying to justify socialism. No thanks.
