I did not say that they were socialism. I said they are socialist programs and no Social Security is a relatively new concept that is not even a century old. Govt. run social programs are not capitalist in the least either.
A Question for Liberals: How many of you embrace Socialism?

Yawn. Just Gaslighting for socialism to be accepted in America
Yep, that's how Hitler did it.
It still turns out like shit though, because in the end, politicians cannot spend your money better than you can.
...You, and Ginni and Clarence Thomas, LOL! Follow the money....I am liberal, meaning I'm for maximum individual freedom possible (freedom from religion, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, right to peaceably assemble, right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, right to keep and bear arms, no quartering of soldiers without an owner's consent, right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, effects, etc.) & socialism goes contrary to this, so it's impossible to be both liberal and socialist.
It's good to know that you do not believe there are any real socialist politicians in Govt. I agree fully with that.The Social Security program in the US might not be a century old, but the Cura Annonae was around thousands of years ago. Neither program was Socialist.
I will be waiting for your explanation of why universal healthcare is so successful in other countries but in ours it would be a disaster. It appears that Govt. is only a bad thing here.Because the government destroyed the healthcare market. I'm doing a series of posts on it. Here's the first, there will be more soon.
A Question for Liberals: How many of you embrace Socialism?
Based on the definition below:
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
I have too many disagreements with the fundamental tenets of Marxism to call myself a socialist, even if I occasionally agree with Marxist doctrine.
Makes me wonder if we're all operating under the same definition.
There are non-marxist forms of socialism.
Rules and regulations is not socialism
Socialism as the world knows it is unequivocally defined by Marxist doctrine.
From the great Ann Landers ...
Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor.
Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they might give you some milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and they sell it.
Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows.
Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both of the cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.
Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one cow and buy a bull.
Surrealism: You have two giraffes. The government makes you take harmonica lessons.
Learning meaning of `isms’ until the cows come home
Dear Ann Landers: I am an inner city English teacher, and my students are reading George Orwell’s “1984.” I am having a difficult time explaining communism, socialism and fascism …www.chicagotribune.com
Because it is, more taking other people's moneyConservatives would have all of us think otherwise. Every time a liberal/leftist proposes a government program it is denounced as 'socialist.'
Not true. I was born into Social Security and Medicare, but I still disagree with both.Your opinion is noted and dismissed
You personally support socialim too
Liberals are cute they are so ignorant on socialism, the first colonist tried socialism in America first, and it was a total failure. People died of starvation because they didn't want to work
Because it is, more taking other people's money

The fire department is socialism. I have ten more examplesNot true. I was born into Social Security and Medicare, but I still disagree with both.
They could've at least put that money into interest bearing accounts, but that makes too much sense for the elitist trash.
