Where do Conservatives get the impression that socialism means not having money or the government paying people not to work?

@PrincessOfHell 🙄

@SW-User you upset that she's right?

@Guitarman123 Hardly. Little could be less significant then children regurgitating meaningless talking points (McCarthyism? Really?)

And you take her blather as gospel 😄

@SW-User I'm aware of the history of socialism and what it stands for

@SW-User so I know she's right

@Guitarman123 Right. They are benevolently "for the people not profits"

@SW-User yep that's socialism

@SW-User You rather have me write an entire essay detailing my points? Also i'm not a child so I prefer not to be adressed as one.

Mc Carthy times... a witch hunt against progressive forces in US society.

@Guitarman123 try reading more than bubble gum wrappers and bathroom graffiti.

Learn something

@SW-User what would you suggest I read

@PrincessOfHell McCarthy outed Communists. Most of America was too foolish to listen

@SW-User any reading material you suggest?

@Guitarman123 Adam Smith, Milton Freidman, any American Founding Father

@SW-User what part of the wealth of nations or the theory of moral sentiment did Adam Smith advocate for exploiting workers for the benefit of the wealthy few? I've read both and didn't see him say such a thing. What he did say was that he believes that commodities value was based on the labour put into making that particular product and that the simplest of labour would make workers stupid
