Truth Detector (02-20-2019)
Okay, let's try it this way:
Here's how I back up my original statement:
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...ism-revolution
https://www.investopedia.com/article...st-economy.asp
Now Earl points to a current problem in Venezuela as a case closed example of socialism's failures. I provided proof that there's more to the story than that, and Earl's reply is a repetitive parroting of his previous statement. So if Earl cannot point for point disprove the content of my sources, he's not worth responding to.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Quickly Earl, what was life like for the majority in Venezuela prior to Chavez (hint: they couldn't afford bread either back then),

“Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville

Seems Earl doesn't have the cojones to debate any information that can't be pressed into a slogan, talking point or mantra. OPINION seems to be Earl's strong point....avoidance of contrary information his forte.

The content was a massive pile of bullshit you moron. Venezuela isn't imploding because of us. It is imploding as a direct result of the kind of political solutions you morons in the Party of the Jackass want to implement here.
That is why Obama suffered massive losses in 2010 and 2014 in the House and Senate. Americans don't buy your bullshit when the truth gets out about what it will do to the economy and our liberties snowflake.
Now run along; try to grow a brain.

^^^ As political scientist John Pitney (a professor at Claremont McKenna College with a fine scholarly record and experience in Republican politics) notes, this quote is bogus. He never said it.
