If you knew anything about socialism you’d support it.

Credit union banks, Worker cooperatives, over 50% of our electric system, and more are all socialism.

If you know anything about socialism and have an oz of morality, you would condemn it with all you have.

Socialism is just an euphorium for slavery. To put it simpler, under socialism it is “you work, I eat.”

Ask Venesuela and Cuba how their state run Socialist systems have worked out. Then move there.

Socialism is worker control of the means of production, Venezuela and Cuba don’t have either.

Please educate yourself on this subject.

Statism is socialism.

Sure, varying degrees exist but it's all rubbish.

Right wing nut jobs are so obsessed with socialism and how they are afraid their labor is going to pay for some welfare queen in this fantasy they have built up in their mind.

So, you don’t want any social services for people in America at all? It’s all fine (in your opinion) that people who can’t afford things (like medicine, food, shelter) that keep them alive, just die? That is what is wrong with the Trump administration, it’s only about the rich! What happened to this country?

I am an hourly shift worker, and have been all my life. Raised 3 kids and put them through college on a working mans wage.

I like to keep a little of what I earn. So that blows your pathetic "rich man - class warfare" attempt away.

Besides, I choose to worship God, not Government. I want that freedom to always remain.

Most people like yourself don’t even know what communism/socialism and think it’s just state control of the economy (no, it’s not that).
Im very familiar with them, and their meanings. And Stalin espoused communist ideals, and as usual it got corrupted horrifically and killed millions.


And you ignored my point entirely, communism fails because people are not compatible with it. We don't work like that, never have, and never will.


Most people like yourself ignore that simple fact, and just think it will work because it sounds cool.
