You can only vote on one answer.
Please answer the poll. Comment if you like but be sure to vote in the poll.

If you are neither (such as myself), choose the one you are closer to.

For example, I am green/socialist, so I would choose "liberal," and my best friend is a libertarian, so she would choose "conservative."

How on earth can anyone in their right minds be a socialist? Were the failed socialist states of the Nazis and the Soviets not persuasive enough? Has anyone looked at how close Venezuela is to actual hell right now?
Socialism wasn't properly implimented there and neither country had the resources to forge a powerful country. The Soviet Union would've been a better country than ours had it not been that every capitalist country in the world blocked it and wouldn't trade with them.

That's what socialists [i]always[/i] say! Those were the most powerful socialist states thus far, and they were utterly horrific. Why on earth would you want to try again? Each one of these socialist experiments usually ends up costing millions upon millions of lives. How on earth would another one be any different?
@Britain: The Nazi state was FASCIST not socialist. Just because they were called the national socialists doesn't mean they actually were. For example, North Korea isn't very democratic yet it's called that.

@briyeli: Gee, I wonder why that is. Oh, yeah, maybe the problem is in how socialism centralizes power so much that those in power can refuse to give it back. Maybe instead of centralizing power, we should just leave it to the people instead of just giving them false promises 🤔
@Invisible: no we need a larger government to help out those who need it more (minorities, not able bodied, poor, lgbtqa+, immigrants, and under trump I think females make this list).

Breyeli,
I agree that Germany wasn't socialist but wasn't even fascist.
The Economy was very much Socialist and Government was authoritian.

Invisible,
It's not the socialist experiment that costs millions of lives but it the defiying of international banking system, not bowing down to the stupid american elites.
I don't know what socialists "always say".

What causes hyper-inflation is uncontrolled speculation. When speculation is coupled
with debt (owed to private banking cartels) the result is disaster. On the other hand, when
a government issues currency in carefully measured ways, it causes supply and demand
to increase together, leaving prices unaffected. Hence there is no inflation, no debt, no
unemployment, and no need for income taxes.

Under the National Socialists, Germany's money wasn't backed by gold (which was
owned by the international bankers). It was essentially a receipt for labor and materials
delivered to the government.
Within two years, the unemployment problem had been solved, and Germany was back
on its feet. It had a solid, stable currency, with no debt, and no inflation, at a time when
millions of people in the United States and other Western countries (controlled by
international bankers) were still out of work.
Germany even managed to restore foreign trade, despite the international bankers' denial
of foreign credit to Germany, and despite the global boycott by Jewish-owned industries.
Naturally this terrifies the bankers, since it eliminates their powers. It also terrifies Jews,
since their control of banking allows them to buy the media, the government, and
everything else.
Canadian researcher Dr. Henry Makow (who is Jewish himself) says the main reason
why the bankers arranged for a world war against Germany was that Hitler sidestepped
the bankers by creating his own money, thereby freeing the German people. Worse, this
freedom and prosperity threatened to spread to other nations. Hitler had to be stopped!

It just took a minute for you to respond me with a gif.
That proves everything.

This doesn't make any sense. You can't be a socialist states and not have income tax. That goes against the whole ideology of redistributing wealth. Technically, the Nazis had relatively low income tax, but they made up for that by confiscating wealth from business and the upper class. That's not feasible. You also can't just say that there would be no unemployment. That's utter nonsense. If you think the Nazis helped bring down unemployment, then you're completely ignorant to the fact that they drove women out of the labor market and in many instances paid married women small sums of money to just stay home. That's not a real decrease in unemployment, that's synthetic.

In regards to everything else you've said, it seems like you're going off topic talking about Jews, bankers, etc. That has nothing to do with socialism.

@NationalSocialist: I know it might be hard for to wrap your mind around it, but don't you think that if I posted a reply within seconds of your unsolicited wall of text, that maybe I'm not actually talking to you? Hard to grasp, I know, but I'm confident you can do it.

Perhaps I was talking to the loon who essentially said that straight white men should be the work horse so that everyone else can relax.

What a totally misguided and uninformed notion. Yeah, bigger and bigger government will fix things. Oh, what's this? They're taking away my rights? Shoot.
