What's Wrong with Socialism?

[snakestretcher]

You don't know what a nanny state is. A frog in a pot of cold water that slowly is raised to boiling water doesn't know it till he dies either

No, I don't know what a "nanny state" is because I don't live in one and never have. You evidently have more experience that I do.

 

[snakestretcher]

Those of us who support him think he's the greatest president ever. He has proved this time and time again. Stop listening to the lefties on BBC

"Wind turbine cause cancer!". Such a very stable genius!

 

[snakestretcher]

Simple.He is proud to be an American and puts America first instead of second or third, and believes that hard work and study will get you where YOU decide you want to be and work for regardless of the color of your skin.

Hahaha! No, the cretin hasn't done an honest day's work in his life. His businesses routinely fail, and he was gifted millions by his dad who also had to bail out several of his collapsed business misadventures. "Hard work and study"? Trump has done neither in his entire life, and his woeful record should have alerted anyone with a brain that he is hopelessly unqualified to do anything but brag about himself and what the delusional idiot believes he has achieved. He likes to steal from charity though, and seemed quite content to defraud hundreds of trusting Americans with his fake 'university' scam, both of which he was suitably punished for. The semi-literate moron can't even write his own book! If you think those are admirable qualities in a president I recommend both a reality check and raising your standards for acceptability. Yes, you certainly chose wisely:lamo

Did you hear about the Disney “Little Mermaid” Controversy?

The little mermaid was turned into a mute girl by a evil sea witch and she was in a boat with a boy she was in love with but could not tell him and all the aquatic creatures were singing a song to get the the boy to kiss the girl.

A big no no for the aquatic creatures to sing that song because....

The controversy was...that the mute girl could not give consent to being kissed by the boy because she could not speak.

Controversy solved, she could shake her head... yes to give consent.

That's nice.


They let you is not consent.



That is disgusting

You can believe the writer in the American capitalist magazine, Forbes, if you like. I prefer to believe the people who live in socialist democracies who know better.

Fair enough. There's an article in the news that a tRump supporter believes the Corona Virus is a hoax; you guys believe a lot of crazy ****. Nothing I can say or do will change that.

The fact is other than Totalitarian Dictatorships, that claim to be socialist but in fact are NOT, there has never been a truly SOCIALIST government.

"Nanny State" is a term used by propagandists to scare people. Rather a "loaded term" meant to evoke an emotional response.

Have you personally thru all your dating years verbally requested consent to kiss followed by continuous verbal requests for verbal permission for every single manly move you made during your interaction with women?

Roseann

P.S. By the way I don’t expect an answer to that question.

[danielpalos]

Where are the women who believe in equality and don't mind convincing guys their numbers are simply too low and they definitely need plenty of practice; and, hey what are girl friends for in modern times. Practice should Always "make perfect" for guys, right.

And there has never truly been a democracy in the USA.

I didn’t expect an answer to that question.

However, a true believer in this present day idea of verbal permission from women with every physical interaction with women. The only legitimate answer would be yes.

The answer no = does not practice what they preach.

So you've moved from trying to defend Trumps words to setting unreasonable standards for everyone else.

:lamo

Unfortunately for you and your argument, most people live in a world between two extremes where it's okay to force yourself on women because you're a celebrity or you have to get written consent for every human interaction. No reasonable people think we must choose between one and the other. Sorry, no sale.

I can tell though in all my years no one has ever heard me say that I just kiss women I find attractive without waiting. That they just let me, or that I grab them by the *****. I've have also never then had multiple women come out and say just that, that I grabbed them and kissed them and groped them without consent. But Trump has.

 

[CharisRose]

And there has never truly been a democracy in the USA.

That’s because The Founding Fathers did not design The USA to be a democracy.

I've never understood why so many people fetishize democracy.

Which parts of your life would you prefer to be subject to majority rule? However you answer that question, why do you believe mob rule will yield results different from what one would expect from a mob?

Because socialism, as defined by Marx and others, does not work. You can't take people's resources and property without force. And you can't expect them to be happy about it.

And you can't expect a centrally planned economy to work after the stolen property and resources runs out.

You can't lay claim to property and resources to begin with without force either...

[Old 'N Chill]

People in America expect capitalism to burp occasionally.

But do you expect that from Socialism too?

Actually multiply the worst of Capitalism by 1000 and you end up with Socialism.

You have never seen a burp like the Socialist Burp. I mean totally empty stores. Multiply the current socialist alarm over Corona Viris by a million and you get what you can expect from socialism.

Notice how no socialist mentions the burps? The food shortages, the shortages of medicine and even money?

Some of you experts on Socialism, show the Democrats why socialism is their ruin.

Why do you swallow this crap? Prager depends on the right wingers who need to be taught what to think and how to act, weak minds are easy targets.

PragerU relies on a veneer of respectability to obscure its propagandist mission

PragerU's funding largely comes from extremely religious GOP mega-donors with ties to the fossil fuel industry.

PragerU’s extremist, factually inaccurate propaganda has even drawn criticism from some on the right.


It’s not enough to just say that PragerU isn’t an actual university. It’s outright propaganda, and those appearing on the channel are propagandists.

As an institution, PragerU has proved to be toxic, and it should be best understood as -- as its “About Us” page notes -- a “digital marketing campaign.” If one of Prager University’s goals really is to “[make] the world a better place, five minutes at a time,” it deserves a failing grade for its current output.

Democracy relies on the principle that the authority to form a government resides in a well-informed citizenry. It is a good idea.

No I haven’t. Just providing modern day guidelines promoted by some women and the men that agree with those guidelines.

I do not promote it’s okay for any man to use force. That is a crime.

Your problem is that you are only looking at the celebrity men that use force against unwilling women or under age girls.

There are actually women that follow celebrity men with the intention to willingly bed them.

Celebrity men know that those particular women will let them.

Keep pretending you have no clue those women actually exist.

Are you a celebrity?

I’m not the one promoting those unreasonable standards. Those unreasonable standards are being promoted by some modern day women and men who agree with them.

Some modern day women are actually promoting contractual paperwork permission.

Those women have multiple problems with songs, movies, books & Disney concerning verbal permission and many assorted complaints.

Replace the word Democracy with Republic and you'd be correct. In a Republic the government gets its powers from the consent of the people.

A Direct Democracy the majority makes the rules at the expense of the minority.

Lack of knowledge that a democracy is all about majority rule over the minority is the problem.

The minority has no protection from the rule of the majority.

And when the majority becomes a mob the minority will experience the force of the mob to obey or else.
