Why Republicans are resorting to anti-socialism hysteria

The only thing sexier than a desperate troll?

A desperate homophobic closet queen troll.

Hot.

LOL! Nice self-delusion you've got there. You're not hot and the answer will always be 'no'.

Please stop hitting on me, ya old queen.

Socialism is capitalism and is fascism. Brilliant. Up is down.

that's not what I said. I said socialism is crony capitalism, an imprortant distinction.

crony capitalists circumvent freemarkets. they prefer monopolies and cartels, and corruption. biden is a crony capitalist.

crony capitalism involving high level state actors is fascism.

Crony capitalism is just capitalism. Sorry, your Trump propaganda is finished. You have to be smart from now on. No bullshit.

 

[PoliTalker]

And it's not like socialism is such a bad thing. We already have plenty of it mixed in with our capitalism. It's working very well for a lot of people. No reason to change that now.

And ya know?

It didn't grow and grow until it completely destroyed capitalism. Contrary to that point, capitalism is quite alive and well. The super rich capitalists continue to expand their wealth. Have you kept up with the worth of Jeff Bezos? There are lots of very rich people. And they all just got a lot richer, thanks to Trump, he is quite proud to say.

no. it's fascism when it involves government officials protecting the fascist corporate banker monolith.

 

[no worries]

right. it concentrates it. socialism is, in practice, crony capitalism, or fascism.

As opposed to what the US has now?
According to RWNJ's everyone that is socialist is the same, in poverty.

Trump is a capitalist and a conservative.

Trumps Socialist tariffs, farmer freebies & unprecedented Stimulus freebies for civilians & business make him more Socialist than Obama, LBJ & FDR.

we need sound currency and an elimination of the corporate veil.

All Democrats and liberals are socialists. They all believe that wealth should be taken from producers (aka 'the rich') and given to nonproducers (aka 'the poor'). That is socialism. There is no other word for it. The two major forms of socialism are fascism and communism. It can only exist through oligarchies or dictatorships.

There are oligarchies in the United States today, running unconstitutional and socialistic departments in government.

The major type today, and the one practiced by the Democrats for the most part is Statist Capitalism. This form of Socialism blends the social-welfare state with it's high taxes and "free" handouts to the minions, with allowing larger corporations and businesses to remain in private hands. The owners of such companies collude with politicians in the form of quid pro quo--campaign "donations" for political favors. The government however, sets the production quotas and decides what will and will not be produced.
An example of this at the moment would be the Biden administration hammers coal and oil to reduce production thereof while favoring solar and wind with subsidies and less regulation. The same entities own all of that so they don't care. They gladly reduce coal and oil, crank up solar and wind, and raise prices on all of it as necessary to make a fat profit. Only the average person is hurt by all of that but neither the politicians or corporate management give a rat's ass about them.
The persons most dangerous to all of this are smaller business owners and the skilled professional class who are smart enough to see through it, wealthy enough to not like it, but not so wealthy that they are part of the ruling elite causing it. These are people that start revolutions, like the American Revolution, and have the savvy to pull it off. The elite know they're dangerous so they either placate them sufficiently to keep the revolution from happening or they drive them into the poor house with the untermench and peasants where they can no longer afford to organize one.

You are smart so you will get what I am saying, this is not about socialism, this is about the demands of the Victim Culture Cult.

It is about both. Victims and the Culture Cult you mention is part of what is being used justifying moving to fascism. This is a classic technique to justify socialism.
Since a government's success metric is not based on profit, it must be based on justifying their own existence. Creating a 'problem' for them to 'solve' is one way to do that (without ever actually solving it of course!).

This is not about process, this is about the demand that victims must be both the product and the hero's of our time.

It is about process. This process is being used to justify socialism.

Anyone who argues the point is a bad person who must be sacrificed we are told.

Yes. This is the religious and fundamentalist method of doing this. Again, a classic technique.

Naw - Bernie isn't even a socialist; he just sort of leans social democrat.

No. He's a radical socialist. He wants fascism by oligarchy.

And Biden is Chinese through & through: criminal capitalist, now with more dementia & rape.

Biden is not a capitalist, and neither are the Chinese. They are both socialist. China is a communist nation. That's socialism.

And of course Harris is just a psychopath waiting for the blood to start flowing; Caligula in a pantsuit.

Heh. I thought that was Hillary! Is Harris studying Hillary as a model? Do we have a Wicked Witch of the West as well as a Wicked Witch of the East? I would tend to agree with you here.

 

[Into the Night]

Yes, and also truth. Naw; we have two deranged criminal gangs in charge.

They are not in charge. They want to be though.

 

[Into the Night]

That's part of it, but these imaginary victims are dupes and tools of the criminal sociopaths of the Democrat Party.

A lot of it is Fake News as well. Many of these so-called 'victims' don't exist.

 

[PoliTalker]

If super-rich people 'earned' lots of money by ripping off the general public, no way they are going to want to have even some of it taxed back away from them to help the people they ripped off.

That's why they have this whole propaganda hype about the 'horrors' of socialism.

Gotta keep the ruse going and pretend they are great contributors to society because they have figured out how to get super-rich, or simply preserve and extend wealth they inherited as if it is some kind of family legacy.

No, it isn't, moron but it makes a nice RWNJ campaign slogan.

"The two most common forms of socialism are fascism and communism".

So why are RWNJ's and their dear leader, practicing both of them?

Britain- Richard Branson- A person that RWNJ's consider "socialist"? Owns Virgin air. Worth $4 billion.
Germany-Theo Albrecht, Jr.- A person that RWNJ's consider "socialist"? Owns Aldi grocery and Trader Joe's. Worth $13.5 billion.
Italy- Leonardo Del Vecchio- A person RWNJ's consider "socialist"? Owns Luxottica, eyewear. Worth $21.5 billion.
Canada-Chip Wilson- A person RWNJ's would consider "socialist"? Owns retail and yoga equipment. Worth $5 billion.
China has 389 billionaires.
Germany as 107 billionaires.
The UK has 45 billionaires.
Canada has 44 billionaires.
Australia and Sweden have 31 billionaires.

"Socialism" didn't "steal" their wealth.

It IS stealing some of the wealth.

Trump has a hard time with reality.

Define 'reality'.
