Or Denmark.

I hear the deprivation there is pretty awesome. At least for the bottom 70%.

In the US the GOP calls Dems socialist.

That number is way low, I'd put it at 9.5 out of 10

Eventually, the whack jobs will become the majority, embrace socialism, and ruin the nation for about 10-20 years. After economic ruin and despair (which always occurs), sanity will gain the upper hand and socialism will be dead forever in America.


It seems as though many Americans cannot simply read history to understand that socialism always fails. They must directly experience the misery and despair of the system first hand before discarding it in the trash pile of failed political systems.

Iowa would be a barren wasteland if it weren't for socialism.

We saw that in 2008. It was the socialist economic policies we turned to.

It just shows how brainwashed and indoctrinated our young people have while in high school and/or college. Consider the people who are educating or educated our young people. Left over baby boomers or GenX who were educated by leftist profs from the 60s who cherish the likes of Karl Marx.

It's probably more like 9.999/10. You drive on public roads? Did you or anyone in your family go to public school? Do you purchase USDA-approved food at the grocery store? Have you ever gone to the library, called the police, gone to a public park? If so, congratulations: You participated in socialism.

It simply means that if this continues, America's run at the top will be ending soon. We will become 2nd rate like Canada and Europe.

The EU is already the world's largest economy, and the wealthiest, it's a matter of time until they fall to 2nd after China.
