This country doesn't hate socialism. They practice it every day, for the rich. Corporations get bailouts. Banks get protection. Oil companies get subs

subsidies.
Defense contractors get guaranteed profit.
THAT is socialism. They just don't want to share it with the poor. They're not anti-socialist. They're anti-working-class.

Thinking outside the box. Canada has recently announced a new direction in defence spending. One that prioritises Canadian companies and industries and Canadian jobs and skills. As this means that in some cases the easier and cheaper foreign buy decision will be overlooked, this also has Socialist implications. A decision made for the longer term public good. Socialism is many things. But it is not evil. Its the lack of public good that makes it so..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Interesting- and indeed laudable.

@whowasthatmaskedman Actually, socialism wasn't ever as good on many things as it is now even since the time it started at all, I've seen a ton of research about socialism and see that the ideology is really a doomed failure and is really all about equal outcome of welfare and wealth distribution which means paying more poor people money at the expense of more rich people for equal outcome which means taking people with hard earned money only to give to poor people receive money without ever being encouraged to work hard at all to be honest!!!!

@VladG94 OK. Now you dont know me and I dont know you. But I recognise your line of patter. And frankly I am tired of debating it with people who dont even define the basic terms correctly. So try this instead.:😷

@VladG94 Like I said, you dont know me..And I am not going to waste my energy trying to educate anyone who thinks there is one way to solve a human problem. You handicapped yourself at the gate.. You dont understand the limitations of Capitalism, or the dire consequences of not regulating it. But that may be the very consequence of the Capitalist based education you got. Either way. Not my problem. Subject closed...🤚

@whowasthatmaskedman And you don't understand the limitations of socialism because you're on the area of argument for socialism because it sounds good to you and I have my own argument against socialism because it means that it doesn't work, but those whom actually live by words are going to have a soft spot for socialism in their hearts because it sounds so good to them, but once you learn really hard facts really deeply about how you socialism operates in a practical way, then you will start to realize that socialism is a disappointment if not a disaster to be honest!!!! Anyways, either way, not my problem, subject closed!!!! ✋🏻
