DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM: THE GREAT OXYMORON!!

[StoneByStone]

I'm not worried about it at all because Trump will destroy that communistic faggot! But most likely the Dim's won't nominate Bernie the Red they will go with Sleepy Joe and he will get the ass whipping of his life.

Sanders is one of the few people that actually would beat Trump if he got the nomination. But like I said, he's not a Communist, he's a Social Democrat like most of Europe is.

A highly respected political pollster who got the 40 Dem win in the midterms perfect,says any Dem will get a min 278 Electoral Votes. Trump is toast.

I don't believe that. The presidential election is always won by the more charismatic person. I think Tulsi Gabbard would be a great president, but I know that with her personality, there is no way she'd beat Trump.

Democracy is a political system. Socialism is an economic system. There is nothing incompatible between them assuming the population supports both. If the people vote to nationalize public utilities they used a democratic process to create a socialist industry.

Tulsi is a rookie with very little background to judge. I guess Trump had less to show. See what a disaster he is?

There is really no difference between Fascism and Communism they are two forms of Socialism with the same goal, Totalitarian Control of the people.

So your claim is the Scandanavian countries are totalitarian? Truth is they are freer than us. We are the fascists.

It's nice to see those two words together!

The number #1 oxymoron of all time is CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.

True, but that just proves Republicans are big government socialist too. Now, defend & argue for socialism!

Venezuela didn't have Social Democracy, but it's a bad example anyway, because it was doing well before America got involved.

LIE and LAME. Venezuela is the PERFECT example as is Cuba, China and any other Marxist wonderland. America had NOTHING to do with Venezuela's collapse and I, along with many others, predicted the outcome of the Venezuelan economy right after Hugo Chávez took over.

Hugo Chávez rhetoric mirrors that of any of today's Democratic Party of the Jackass candidates.

Socialism does not work. Never has worked and anytime you place that much power in a Government, it leads to Fascism.

Now tell us SPECIFICALLY with sources how you come to the moronic conclusion that America had ANYTHING to do with the SELF inflicted mess in Venezuela.

For morons on the left; the definition of Socialism:

socialism
noun
so·​cial·​ism | \ ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm
\
Definition of socialism

1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Where do you derive your data points. The US is not a Democracy and the Europen countries are capitalistic. The difference is where they direct the taxes. The countries that spend money on education and support programs for citizens are still capitalistic. That does not change the fact that the people work and pay taxes. They vote and have similar governments to ours.
We are an oligopoly with more and more power and money trickling up to the top. It is America that is moving away from a democracy.

Our founders never intended to create a "democracy" they created a "CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC." Absolute democracy is mob rule, two wolves & one sheep deciding what to have for lunch. The only "democracy" the founders intended was the system employed to choose the politicians SWORN BY OATH to loyalty to the CONSTITUTION, not the majority will of the masses.

Hmmm. When all is said and done, I am a proud member of The Great Northern Socialist Horde, happily residing in southwestern Canuckistan, aka Weedtopia

How does this address the topic?

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I did not say they didn't have Socialism. I said they didn't have Social Democracy.

See this is why you should try to not be rude. You made a mistake, acted really mean, and now you feel stupid.

This is why you are a dishonest leftist hack; you never answer any questions and construct strawman arguments.

I absolutely will answer that question.

But first, you have to admit you misread my sentence and you have to apologize for being rude.
