Quick peek at social media recruiting for alternative political movements in the Crossroads and among locals just getting involved in politics without much context about lofty political promises and ensuing economic collapse.
Take a look:
"The Kansas City Democratic Socialists of America was founded in January 2017 to radically transform society. Local and national economies and governments turn on an axis of private profits and power for the few. In a democratic socialist society, these institutions will revolve around human needs and the power of the many, the people. Alongside capitalism, so too the scourges of racism and bigotry, patriarchy and sexism, homophobia and transphobia, nationalism and war, and other social ills will be confronted and defeated . . ."

Venezuela ans Cuba come to mind. Things are going well there.
ReplyDeleteCommunism revisited. How many Syrian refugees have these people taken in? You need to print the names of the businesses involved so we can boycott the them! More snowflakes looking for a place to gather for self pity!
ReplyDeleteTrue or False
ReplyDeleteA single mother on welfare who is addicted to crack is unlikely to instill in Junior a strong moral compass or the work ethic needed to get ahead in a competitive world.
There is still a large demand among the clamoring masses for T-shirts and posters emblazoned with Che’s beret-bedecked cabeza. You know, because he’s sooo cool.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. So sell all your stuff and possessions and give us the money so we can do great things with it to help the poor and downtrodden.
ReplyDeleteThese are Kander's people.
ReplyDeleteFascism is control of the means of production. Socialism is ownership of the means. Democratic Socialism was a term Lenin loved when describing the inner machinations of the Communist Party in Russia. He saw it as a reasoned and in depth discussion of what actions the Russian Government would take, amongst the Leaders and Commissars he had designated as worthy of comment. Then, and this is important, HE would decide what action to take.
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders thinks he is a Democratic Socialist. The translation of all this empty rhetoric from the left, is that the left wants more control over the business and personal lives of we Americans. Control that will allow them to determine "Hate Speech", culture and most importantly money and power, who gets it during the redistribution and who spends it where and why after it is redistributed.
This, this is so, SO important, because after the redistribution of wealth, there will be paucity of wealth and the means to attain it, as we see, in all of the other failed Socialist endeavors that have ensued throughout history.
Venezuela is one of the most oil rich countries in the world in conjunction with many other, in demand natural resources. If you can't get it right there, you fuckin can't get it right anywhere.
Cuba had sugar cane, Fidel, a surfeit of AK 47s and, after the revolution, a declining tourist industry. Doomed to failure.
Venezuela? Gimme a fuckin break.
Take your naïve, myopic, tilt at the capitalist windmill and feed it to Sancho Panza's Donkey.
Fucking dreamers! These fuckwads would develop a whole new attitude of they would just develop a fucking work ethic and some usable skills. Silly time wasting, shit for brains, morons.
ReplyDeleteChuck, Cuba was never a Socialist Country. It suited them to pretend they were, & it suited us to pretend they were.
ReplyDeleteYou sowed The Dump, now reap the whirl wind.
So, you're saying, Cuba never nationalized any companies after the revolution.
ReplyDeleteBrutal...
chuck, you just exhibited the most effective way of lying. Tell just enough of the truth and then stop.
ReplyDeleteRight out of the Democrat and Republican manifestos.
Both -isms place the central government over the citizens.
You and I were raised to believe they were the same thing. And they are as they put government control above the rights and needs of the people.
Definition of fascism
1
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
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
The embargo was actually triggered by something concrete: an enormous pile of American assets that Castro seized in the process of nationalizing the Cuban economy. Some of these assets were the vacation homes and bank accounts of wealthy individuals. But the lion’s share of the confiscated property—originally valued at $1.8 billion, which at 6 percent simple interest translates to nearly $7 billion today—was sugar factories, mines, oil refineries, and other business operations belonging to American corporations, among them the Coca-Cola Co., Exxon, and the First National Bank of Boston. A 2009 article in the Inter-American Law Review described Castro’s nationalization of US assets as the “largest uncompensated taking of American property by a foreign government in history.”

ReplyDeleteI think that is exactly what he said.

"Democratic socialism" is when people get to vote on how to distribute somebody else's money.

ReplyDeleteFascism is control of the means of production. Socialism is ownership of the means.
Is the same as what 10:48 posted? Seriously?
A 2009 article in the Inter-American Law Review described Castro’s nationalization of US assets as the “largest uncompensated taking of American property by a foreign government in history.”
ReplyDeleteActually that would be the European taking of property from the natives of the North and South America and Africa.
These people want the benefits of the free market while espousing their Democratic Socialism. Do they really think Bernie could produce an I-phone?
ReplyDeleteSorry, Africa was not supposed to be in the sentence.
