Question for Conservatives

If you claim to hate socialists because you believe they want everything handed to them for nothing then why do you support people like trump, musk and bezos who have had everything handed to them because they were born with silver spoons in their mouths

Those guys got family money, not government hand outs.
Socialism creates a lazy, unmotivated society. Innovation is flat and the sharpest minds leave the country for more opportunity. Socialized health care is a numbers game. So high risk expenses are not supported. Those people are not treated and are left to die.

@GoingDownSouth socialism is about workers rights and establishing common ownership of the means of production instead of private ownership as well as improving social services and welfare

@Guitarman123 Intentions and consequences.. both our statements are true.

There are no 'rags to riches' stories in a true socialist society. Ambition is not rewarded or encouraged.

@GoingDownSouth it is rewarded just that it dosent allow one individual to have control over others

GoingDownSouth · M

@Guitarman123 Oh but it does. The elites in government have control over everyone. These are not democratic societies. It is an Authoritarian government that decides you fate for you. Not on the level of communism, but still not a government by the people.

@GoingDownSouth that's what capitalist governments support as well as private ownership of businesses whereas socialists want workers to have control of their own destinies and government officials to have regular workers wages

@Guitarman123 All true except the capitalism part. Capitalism is a true free market. Consumers decide what businesses survive. That's how you know the US is not a true Capitalist country. We have a lot of socialist poisoning in our political system. And we keep creeping farther in that direction. That's why our labor force is staying home. They get paid either way. And the businesses and consumers pay the price.

@GoingDownSouth Well it's not a true free market as for a individual to truly make capital they have to hire other people and pay them less than they are worth so they won't leave the job and the capitalist keeps making profit through the workers labour power

@Guitarman123 Your opinions are not completely factual. You seem to be emotionally driven and therefore unable to see facts.

@GoingDownSouth it is fact and the strikes happening in the UK and US back that up
