We are run by big business and corporate interests, so the Democrats are there to placate the masses and keep them from going socialist. Obamacare is a socialist agenda (no accident that it is being undone). Bernie is a socialist agenda (look at how the Democrats stabbed him in the back). Ocasio is a socialist. The socialists have been gaining ground inch by hard fought inch. It is amazing how little progress they have made given the superficial appearance of a democracy. (If the poorest 2/3 knew what was going on they would vote for a socialist agenda).

Hitler was a Socialist. He led the National Socialist Workers Party.

Give me one example where Socialism has helped people? And don't tell me Scandinavia, because they are all Capitalistic countries with Social programs.

Give me one example where Socialism did not become a dictatorship?

Capitalism does have rich and poor, Socialism only has poor. Dirt poor. Read your history. And the poor in the US are the richest "poor" n the world.

That is idiotic. That is like saying "tell me one time when the brakes helped people and don't tell me cars because they have an accelerator".

Once again this is clueless. Capitalism is a very important component of an economy, but a pure capitalist society without any socialist programs is inhumane. I am not for a "pure socialist" program, nor am I for a "pure capitalist" system.


I see a need for a little of each -- capitalism is critical for the stock market and business. Socialism is critical to make sure we don't worship the almighty dollar but rather keep in mind what the priorities of any society is which is its people. Finally, there still needs to be some "communism". Public parks, and other things need to be held in common by all.


If you understand that then you can see there isn't a single successful first world nation that doesn't have socialist programs.
