    Not at all, the current usage of the term "socialist" has nothing to do to the Rosa Luxemburg socialism that conservatives like to believe and actually shows a total misunderstanding of capitalism

    The capitalism conservatives think is now challenged by the voicing of socialist ideas isn't capitalism, rather the product of entities working the political process to get subsidies and tax breaks that benefit themselves but impose costs on everyone else. They are made by an elite few who have an incentive to use the policy-making process to benefit the 1 percent at the expense of the 99 percent.

    Profit comes from political connections rather than by satisfying the demands of consumers, which is something that the right eagerly labeled socialist voices of today are addressing

    Problem with Trumpkins is that they fail to recognize the real world around them and rely too much on what others tell them

    Socialism only has one definition. No matter how much the left tries to spin that.

    You guys know there are people eating garbage in America right? But somehow that's not capitalisms fault. Capitalism never has any responsibility for anything that happens under its watch.

    FYI if the US were ever in an emergency where people were under threat of starvation and there was any nearby food stores, the government absolutely could confiscate the food and redistribute. Why the hell would you ever think this wouldn't be the case? People should just sit idly by and starve? What responsibility does any society have to protect property rights to that degree? Society is not the slave of hoarders and has no responsibility to protect their property when it is not in its interest.
    Ya could get shot

    wingnuts still believe 'socialism' is a pejorative in America, when in reality the majority of Americans fully embrace the socialistic aspects of our government, i.e. SS, Medicare, Unemployment insurance, the VA, FEMA, Pell Grants, farm subsidies, on and on and on

    time to hash this out in the 2020 elections!

    Everyone of those are paid for by taxes dollars supplied by capitalism. Nothing socialist there at all. Once again, you uneducated dumb fuck. You are right about one thing though, time to hash this out in the 2020 elections.

    And while all of the leftists try to make excuses for the the crumbled Venezuelan economy (i.e. everyone is at fault except the socialists), you can't explain away the tyranny of the socialist government. That is entirely on socialists and their ideology. They weren't brided by liberals or mind-controlled by the Jews.

    Enjoy Trump while he lasts, because after him, you're gonna be voiceless.
    You're a leftist. That means you hate everything decent about civilized society. It's why you support terrorists, coddle criminals and pounce when abortion rights might be threatened.

    You might be the biggest sack of shit on this forum, and you're certainly the ACE scumbag in this conversation.

    Oh, and Trump isn't going anywhere. Take it from Pelosi.
    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

    You're the ones who staple teabags to your faces and pretend to care about debt, and you think I'm uncivilized?

    You're the ones who let him go from Tora Bora.

    You're the ones who gave up looking for him.

    You're the ones who think Saudi Arabia are our allies.

    You're the ones who paid Pakistan $2B a year, almost to the exact day OBL arrived there from Afghanistan.


    coddle criminals
    You're the ones rooting for shorter sentences for criminals like Manafort.


    and pounce when abortion rights might be threatened.
    Exactly...rights. Abortion rights. So you are threatening freedom when you threaten abortion rights.

    Why do you hate freedom so much?

    You're such a stupid person that a reality TV show host conned you into voting for him.

    That black mark will never rinse off.

    I doubt you have the courage of your convictions to wear your MAGA hat on your head forever. I bet the moment Trump is removed from office, you will hide your red hat in the attic right next to your Klan hood, swastikas, and Bush/Cheney shirts.

    You people have been wrong about every single political decision you've made for at least the last 19 years, but really the last 40. There has not been one single Conservative prediction that has come to pass, and not one single promise made of Conservative ideology that has been fulfilled.

    NOT. ONE.

    Social Democracies don't embrace capitalism?

    did you know socialism and capitalism are not the same systems, and invariably work in concert?

    home schooled much?

    You aren't rounding up shit, and once Trump is gone, you will try and pretend you never supported him so you can avoid being lumped in with the broader failures of Conservatism, Trumpism, and Republicanism.

    Just like you did after Bush the Dumber, when you stapled teabags to your faces.
