Would you rather live in a Socialist country or an Authoritarian country?

That is if it would even take him.

You ever even seen a gator? They'll take everything meat, especially if you present it to them.

Don't get me started on the Bull Sharks..
Yes, there are Bull Sharks here, and they can take care of everything.

They're less picky than gators.

Been to SC and FL plenty of times.

Do you think the quality of life has anything to do with them existing in the upper latitudes with the colder climate?

I read an article about evolutionary behavior and it theorized that people in colder climates had to share resources to survive because of their scarcity. The people had to work together and survive through cooperation or perish.
In tropical climates, food and resources were plentiful so there was less need for cooperation to survive like in cold climates.

More community cooperation and a sharing and caring Creed would tend to yield a better quality of life.

Dumbasses like to live where it's cold. Well back in the day, that would keep their food cold so they could survive.
Well, those days are past now. What say you?

We had different methods where I'm from. Smoke the meat and it lasts..things like that.

Now there's that modern thing called refrigeration.

That would work theoretically in a Star Trek universe.

While we debate the different forms of Socialism, I'm hoping we can all agree that there's only ONE form of authoritarianism and it's always gonna suck.

Yeah, but have you actually seen a gator eating?

I caught a baby gator on a purple worm while bass fishing, dude.

[AProudLefty]

I don't recall to be honest.

BTW, I created a new thread.

Okay, so..you don't want that bullshit for America, do you?

Never suggested I did. Although there is nothing about socialism that is inherently authoritarian. Socialism is an economic system and can be combined with a democratic political system. None exist although some try to classify some European nations as "democratic socialist."

They are not socialist and keep telling Bernie Sanders they are not, but we have distorted the meaning of the term to confuse it with social welfare programs. Scandinavian nations have an extensive social welfare system but the means of production is still privately owned. Socialist nations like China, Cuba, and North Korea are largely state owned industries but do not have extensive social welfare systems.

There is no socialist-communist nation that is authoritarian-totalitarian that was not that way before it became socialist. It is characteristic of the political culture of most nations and not the specific political system.

Today liberals and conservatives often refer to government programs as socialist. But nothing Joe Biden or Kamala Harris propose that is socialist--they are liberal.

How many of their citizens are free to do as they please? (Like katzgar)

That is due to the authoritarian-totalitarian nature of most nations throughout history. It has nothing to do with socialism.

So how free are they compared to an American citizen today, motherfucker? Let's be real about things here.

Also, might I add, My ass in 1980s America was much freer than that. Try me.

I can give you a glimpse of what real freedom was.

Something you'll never experience because you're trying to enslave Americans. You have never known freedom yourself, you fucking dumbass.

I have, and am not falling for your bullshit.

Zoh! The old black dude in GA.

He's cut from the same cloth I am. We ain't got much for some retarded commie fucktards.

He did give me the history of Georgia Military Academy, though.
It's history, baby.

PS: The South won the initial battle and took it over.

How many Democrat Socialist countries have been successful, Faggot?

The answer is zero. Fuck You.

What countries have been Democratic Socialist? China is not democratic but it has the world's fastest growing economy (after it adopted some market principles and allowed more private ownership of some of its state enterprises.)

Totalitarianism IS Your precious Communism, you faggot! Stop squirming like the worm you are!

You'll never convince the far right of that. Democrats = Socialists is their mantra. They think it works for them although that's debatable because in the last eight Presidential Elections, the RepubliQans have only won the popular vote ONCE.

You are terribly confused about the topic and making stupid ass assumptions. Level of freedom is due to the political system, not the economic system. What makes you think I was suggesting those nations have more freedom than the U. S.? Don't be so simplistic or think because a person doesn't repeat all your stereotypes they are making conclusions they are not. You create strawmen to argue against.

My ass has a lot more freedom today than I did in 1980.
