What is about Socialism that gets Democrats excited?

The guy fishing in a rowboat is not the problem. So lame. :palm:

So basically, you're advocating for capitalism as a solution for this hypothetical 3rd world woman of color. Thanks. :palm:

The guy in the rowboat is more a capitalist than the worker (who is more likely a man).
 
I like knowing people get food, medical care, and needed shelter. I don't care about a fat cat getting a tax break to add another couple of cars to the collection. I hear Christians say it's the church that is supposed to provide for people and not the government. Are you all willing to give all that welfare and SS money and likely more to the church so they actually had resources to do such things? Or is the church idea just a cute little excuse?

Fair enough at what point are they responsible for themselves, I believe in a hand up, not cradle to grave welfare. Yes the Church was responsible for helping people and did a fine job until someone realized votes could be bought, don't think that isn't exactly what happened either. By the way we have a food pantry, and a benevolence committee that help people every month! Also a once a month meal in coordination with other churches who do it on the weeks we do not!
 
It gives them a warm feeling regardless of how stupid it sounds and how fiscally reckless and irresponsible the programs are.

Leftists are stupid and economically ignorant. When a Marxist says we are going to ensure that everyone in America gets free healthcare; they cheer like gullible dunces. It makes them feel good about themselves and superior even though everything leftists have ever attempted has failed.

When a Marxist says they are going to ensure every American gets a free college education; they cheer like gullible dunces. Forget that the current system is failing them thus their economic ignorance when Marxists erupt with such stupidity.

But here is the kicker; it EMPOWERS the full time political professionals who have never had to earn a dime outside of the public trough. The party of the Jackass needs gullible uneducated dupes in order to convince them that they are too stupid to make it without Government handouts and redistribution schemes. Professional politicians only in it for themselves know that the easy way to election victory is promising dimwitted fools free shit.

Redistribution of wealth is their hammer. Dupes are their constituents. ;)

I agree!

There's a way for that to happen. It's called reaching into YOUR pocket and personally providing it for them.

You lefties like knowing that so well you're more than willing to have the government force someone else to fund it.

Do you really care about those for which you make the claim or it is just a cute little way for you to feel better about yourself because you have good intentions?
 
First off, it is not the right's twentieth Century understanding of socialism, hell, the US has been partially socialist since the 19th Century, and you don't see a lot of those good ole boys yelling about Medicare do you

But those that are excited are the millennials, who like it or not will be the dominate age group within a few years, and why not, they look around and see the boomer politics of the last half century plus has left the America they are about to inherit a torn nation, a dilapidated infrastructure, income inequality, health care as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy, childhood poverty, an environmental crisis, deficits, and a debt that they will have to live with down the road. To them, the present ain't working

Is it good or bad, little bit of both

What the millennials will be doing in the future is looking around to find who is going to pay for their unicorns and rainbow mentality.

Embarrassed American claims he likes knowing people can eat, have healthcare, and a place to live. Do you think he realizes that if he truly believes that it can happen without the government being involved and all it takes it reaching into his pocket and meeting those needs for someone else personally?
 
No like in Canada and Germany.

And Israel.

And South Korea.

And Holland.

And Belgium.

And Japan.

And Australia.

And New Zealand.

And Portugal.

And Luxembourg.

And Sweden.

And Switzerland.

And Norway.

And Denmark.

And Finland.

And Austria.

And Scotland.

And France.

And Spain.

Even Mexico has single payer health care.

Looks like to me you have made a list of places you can move since you like it better there.
 
Sorry, government welfare.

I agree it is not socialism since agriculture is not a government owned industry, but the meaning of socialism seems to have switched from government ownership of the means of production and distribution to government programs conservatives don't like but liberals do.

It hasn't switched. It's that Liberals would prefer lots of government own industry and have a desire for the government to redistribute wealth.
 
Nothing is free, someone pays.

Bloody Socialism is anathema to freedom and Capitalism.

Emigrate to Venezuela...bring food.
 
They support nothing but their criminal personality cult and hatred for the Democratic party.

That's because they know deep down that they have illegitimate power, so they must de-legitimize their opposition in order to justify their own hideousness.
 
who pissed in your brain?

You need to face the facts that one side of the ideological spectrum has been clinging to illegitimate power since the 2000 election, and doing everything they can to maintain that hold on power, knowing that if they relinquish it, the horrors of their belief systems will be known and they're fearful of being treated the way they have treated everyone else.

And you know what? They're right to be afraid. Exposing the rot of the Conservative movement is going to tear down institutions these clods have trusted for decades.
