Socialism Will Destroy Us

[Weedhopper]

sounds like it’s an incentive now for enlistment.

[Cratic3947]

Even our soft socialism has landed us 20 trillion in debt. Enslaving and lowering the standard of living of our children.

Bernie would not condemn Maduro… Birds of a feather…

[armycowboy]

Thats been its purpose for most of its existance.

Do you think the money you pay into Soc Sec is then invested and managed so that the monies can then be paid to you when you retire?

You are aware that the money taken out of your check goes to pay those that are retired today, right? When you retire, hopefully there will be enough people paying into the program to provide you with income as well.

How is that not socialism?

[Weedhopper]

I had to pay when I went in.

[Weedhopper]

Sounds more like a crime scene not socialism.

@CanadianJudo

Clearly you never been to Canada

Ive been trying to understand why you guys arent committing genocide since you have socialized medicine

@Weedhopper

50 years of paying in to it, I doubt I will live past a hundred.

Do you really think you have paid more into SS than you will get out?

[Weedhopper]

plus interest probably

@Jamerican

So which socialist based program(s) that you enjoy here in the USA are you willing to part with?

Spare me the crap that almost anything the government does is a socialist program. It’s a straw man.

Socialism is the most destructive force of the last century. It will be our demise if we are fooled by it. I believe literally it will be the demise of a very large portion of our population mass death & economic ruin unimaginable in this country on a scale never seen here before, worse than the great depression, both world wars, the civil war, of the flu epidemic combined. I doubt we will ever recover in my opinion.

Such ridiculous hogwash. Especially coming from a Trump fan.

Replace Socialism with Authoritarianism in your little diatribe and you’ll be onto something.

Socialism IS Authoritarianism. It may get voted in, but when, not if, it starts heading the nation into poverty, those in charge will bring out the guns, after they take ours, & we will either comply or die.

@Jamerican

Socialism is in the long list of scary boogeymen these guys use to frightened and subdue the weak minded.

Yeah? Who of any of us in the US is subdued? Well, other than if you are on the right, you are subject to being fired, have you business boycotted, not being hired, falsely accused of being a bigot, etc.

Again, give some examples of citizens of the US being SUBDUED…

Socialism is in the long list of scary boogeymen these guys use to frightened and subdue the weak minded.

yeah, it’s just so bizarre. we’re the most powerful capitalist country in the history of the universe and people (who i guess are susceptible to being afraid) sit around and sweat out if we’re gonna be Venezuela. that’s just beyond nutty.

I guess you haven’t heard the term “Democratic Socialist” coming often quite a lot form democrats in national public offices, & several of them running for president advocating that, plus the INSANE “New Green Deal”

[Ceasar]

@ImRightYoureWrong

Socualism is inevitable and will be necessary in an age of of automation and AI. At lesst, universal income

Well, you just proved my case against Jamerican & CaughtInTheMiddle.

@hindsight

OP, make sure you never use Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment benefits, or call 911 for any reason whatsoever… because you hate socialism so much.

Sigh… Pure bullcrap and a straw man argument. The left loves to say nearly everything the government does is socialist. BULLCRAP!

@FreeAndClear

That’s not necessarily true. There will be a retraining period but i don’t think socialism is going to be necessary.

Hard to say without being more specific i guess. Im imagining a future where most of our agriculture and retail will be run by robots/computers. Maybe its too sci fi, but wouldnt that be a world - where machines can grow our food and provide basic services? Cut the 40 hour work week and not have to work for food? Granted, yes people need to maintain and support those machines and they will be paid well.

Or, they can be EMP’d & we will all starve for lack of skills in those things.

@Jamerican

We better not catch the OP at a Parks and Rec, driving on any interstate highway or in a public library either. If he have kids under 18 I hope he putting them in private school.

More everything is socialism baloney

Socialism is the most destructive force of the last century.

yes social security is destructive and we must stop it immediately, if not sooner.

also farm subsidies is a social program that must be stopped otherwise the country will take a socialistic turn for the worse.

talk about doom and gloom.

Allan

Farm subsidies ARE socialism…

…for big agribusiness.

There are a lot of these types of “socialism for corporations” deals out there that I bet the OPer hasn’t even considered.

Our bane will be corporatism, not socialism.

And our people have already been indoctrinated into accepting corporatism…read the Amazon thread here, and you’ll see that.

I don’t think there should be any subsidies for anyone, especially corporate.

Didnt we hear all this ■■■■ with ACA

The ACA was sold on a pack of lies & bribes. It was supposed to save us all $2500 a year, mine went from $450 a month to $2500 a month. Great how government saved healthcare!
