@kodiac What's funny is Biden did sell off ALL of the stuff that was supposed to build the wall and you all know that..... but somehow you all missed the fact that trump backcharged taxpayers a billion dollars for using the same stuff that was gone because Biden sold it.... to supposedly finish building his wall....... somehow with no materials....... and then he charged taxpayers almost a billion bucks because he said he finished building it. Problem is.... where he said he finished it.... there is no wall. So now no wall..... and no money. Gosh i wonder where that billion dollars went???.

I love the sentiment of this post and agree with it.

I would define socialism is the collective ownership of the economy bully workers, not bosses. It's a theory of power as well as a theory of government.

Socialism works great untill they run out of other people's money to give to everyone else

It sounds like socialism- as imagined by dreamy utopians and promulgated by would-be tyrants like Mamdami.

They both do and don't and they don't because they are self-centered and care about themselves over any and everything else.

Also, because those in power fear losing their jobs.

Socialism is a political and economic theory advocating collective ownership of the means of production and equitable distribution of wealth to promote social and economic equality.

Core Principles:

Collective Ownership: Socialism emphasizes that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or controlled collectively, whether by the state, communities, cooperatives, or workers themselves, rather than by private individuals


Wealth Redistribution: Socialists advocate for reducing economic inequality through mechanisms such as progressive taxation, social welfare programs, or universal basic services, ensuring that resources benefit all members of society

Social Welfare and Labor Rights: Socialism prioritizes access to essential services like healthcare, education, housing, and childcare, alongside fair labor practices, including safe working conditions, fair wages, and job security

Democracy and Participation: While some socialist systems centralize planning, the theory often supports citizen participation in decision-making processes, reflecting the collective interest


International Cooperation: Socialism encourages peaceful collaboration among nations and opposes exploitative competition, emphasizing global solidarity.

Bottom line is that socialism can be what is best for all, but it is called communism by those who want only what is best for them.

The biggest disadvantage these days is that all these people are making claims about Socialism without even knowing what it really is. They used to teach a subject called CIVICS back when I was in school which taught you about government and it's different forms. These days people are just "parroting" the lies, myths and propaganda that they've been fed by all the anti socialist groups. These days most people don't even know the 3 branches of government and what the duties of those branches are!!!!

Can you blame us ? Half our politicians can’t explain what a woman is . Seems like a way more basic concept than socialism.

Because for 70 years people in the west were brain washed for the cold war.

It is why so many think healthcare is communist, Gorby was a capitalist, Boris Yeltsin was a Slavic Abe Lincoln, yet Vladimir Putin runs the CCCP .

Western education is a joke.

It’s the thin velvet glove covering the iron fist of communism

No they don't. They are brainwashed and ignorant.

From an external point of view I think many Americans conflate socialism and communism... And the government, media and church certainly cruelled any chance of a rational debate during the 50d and 60s...

You just cut your approaches legs off. It is not the government responsibility to provide health care.
Everything you laid is government control of the masses. Yes that is indeed socialism and if you believe that's a good thing you need your head examined

The governments job is to keep order and provide defense. Not wipe your butt for you.

because nobody is equipped to actually get the desired result. Get your fingers out of the pie control freak
