You claimed 'all libs stated they would move to Canada if Trump was elected' in post #1...Do you have a citation to support that ridiculous claim ? Dollars to donuts say you don't.

You’re assuming Venezuela actually is socialist - if we can even agree on what the term means. You’re then assuming it’s a well run socialist country and that it’s problems are a result of it being socialist.

The first is debatable. The second is clearly false.

Socialism has always been about ideals. Political ideals...political morals. People's needs aren't asked with socialism. What's best for a situation isn't asked with socialism.

Political ideals are asked for. That walls not be constructed for border security (not sure if that's a socialism moral or Trump resist (probably both)). That borders remain open. The socialism ideal in play, there, is those who don't have should benefit from those who have. BTW if you believe some don't have, you have to believe they come from ****hole countries, so, the crime with the ***hole utterance is not the thinking of it but the utterance of it. That leads to another trait of socialism: gov't control of thoughts and words, for example. Hate crimes is socialism.

Socialism is bad.

Capitalism is the economic opposite of socialism. Most countries have varying degrees of capitalism and socialism in their economies but the US is more capitalist than socialist. In the EU, countries are more socialist than capitalist. How much capitalism is in Venezuela's socialist economy? Less than countries of the EU. Therefore, we can conclude Venezuela has very little capitalism in its economy. I don't think there is an economy in the world that is pure capitalist (IMO, closest would be Russia, for example) nor pure socialist (IMO, closest would be Venezuela, for example).

I don't recall saying that. Oh, you said libs, not progressives. Your side won't even show democrats the decency of saying democrat, everything is always the libs. And then you guys talk about the hatred coming from the left, priceless.

There are many like him, this is why I believe an intelligence test should be required to vote.

The reason I say libs is very true and reasonable. There must still be old time democrats that supported Truman and JFK in the party. They are loyal Americans. Sadly the party has been hijacked by the radical left libs. Hence libs.

I would be willing to put my IQ up against yours any day. If an IQ test was required to vote, a good percentage of democrats would not be able to vote.

Your entire original post is one big ****ing personal attack.
Hey libs, since you think capitalism is so evil....etc etc.

How many liberals even think it's evil? Not very many, I assure you.
Do a lot of liberals detest the darwinian anarchistic deregulated way our capitalist system is run compared to the way it was run during the New Deal era? (the most prosperous era for working people in all of recorded history)
Yes. That doesn't mean that capitalism is evil, it means that there are better ways to run it.

But you go and plow ahead with your nonsensical straw man thread, but don't expect anyone to take your whining about personal attacks seriously because that it ALL YOU EVER DO.

It is your stock-in-trade.

And IN the Truman and JFK era (I notice you left out FDR) you would be the same as you are right now:

A member of the John Birch Society, running around on the streetcorner handing out sweaty, greasy mimeographs accusing everybody and their grandmother of being secret communists.

Your kind were thought by most to be extremists then and they're still thought of the same way now.

Another personal attack on anyone who isn't in your narrow circle.
What you're doing right now is called "PROJECTION".
You are incapable of carrying on an actual discussion, so all you do is submit troll bait threads.

Yes, because that statement is a gross distortion of the values of all three that you named.

Venezuala's problems are absolutely a result of socialism.
