Can conservatives please explain socialism

That's the outcome when you've been lied to for so long.
I guess no one would have bought these lies somewhere else.

I have never seen someone be less richer with so called higher taxes. They either just do some money moving to overseas or just jack up prices to the people that make them rich.

( sorry I am not a Conservative, but you will never get a straight or sensible answer from them )

Here is what socialism is in reality, and why Republican Oligarch elites hate it so much.

Social is pretty much what we have now, State Regulated Capitalism. That is they Republicans want to repeal so many regulations ... they are working for the super rich who pay for them, and those people do not want to have to care about their workers, or the environment. It is that simple.

A book I am reading puts it this way:

``Either way, the entire purpose of the Machine was to accumulate capital for reinvestment in an endless cycle; or in Lenin’s own words: “Socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people." ''

Scheidler, Fabian. The End of the Megamachine (p. 226). John Hunt Publishing. Kindle Edition.

That is not to say what Lenin was quoted as saying here is what he did. He changed his definitions over time, and Stalin and then the Russian government changed more as it become more corrupt.

Here is another quote that is good too:

``The third misleading assertion in the grand narrative of the triumph of Western democracy is the coupling of democracy to capitalism. Whatever Europe actually accomplished in the way of democracy was not due to the momentum of its economic system, but rather as a result of resistance to it.''

Scheidler, Fabian. The End of the Megamachine (p. 209). John Hunt Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Saying essentially that the evils of tyranny and capitalism created pushback, revolution, and eventually a recognition of the power of the people, and Republic and then representative democracy.

It is the best non-fiction book I've read in years.

MY definition of FULL ON socialism, which the progressive liberal extremist Bernie/AOC cult of morons would like to implement, is the following:

The devaluing of hard work. The rewarding of laziness. The destruction of personal responsibility. The demise of innovation and creativity (especially in the medical and technology fields), and lastly, and ultimately, the death of the American Dream.



Look, I consider myself moderate conservative, who really can’t stand either party at this point, though the liberals have completely gone off the rails, but I am truly happy to pay taxes towards OUR roads, OUR police and fire departments, and hell, let’s even throw in K-12 for general education.

BUT, it is NOT the responsibility of the American taxpayer to pay for YOUR college education (you got K-12 for free, time to put on your big boy or big girl pants and select a major that will help you be successful, or don’t go. Plenty of trade schools available), YOUR healthcare (Keep eating that McDonald’s 3 times a day and smoking everyone), or YOUR livelihood.

I’m all for helping out people who need it, but the level of exploited social programs in this country is disgusting.

It makes me sick to know so many people share the “spread the wealth, free shit for everybody” mentality. Go out and earn it!!! And nobody should have the right to take what you have earned through YOUR OWN hard work and dedication!

JFK’s famous quote is backwards in today’s world...as today’s liberals say “Ask what your country can do for you, NOT what can you do for your country. and if not, we’ll loot and riot.”

I think it's American self-proclaimed socialists who don't know what socialism is. Remember, the PM of the Netherlands had to remind Bernie Sanders that they were not socialist and never were after Bernie claimed they were.

I have ni...

What's wrong with getting a little something from you boss who WORKS FOR FUCKING WALMART?

lol...

You work at Walmart, right? A company worth billions and billions and billions.

You do 3 or 4x the work. Your boss is a fat ass who earns 3 or 4x times your wage with ZERO work.

The only thing he/she has on you...is a degree. A 4 year degree.

So there...your completely fucked.

And your 30, 40, 50, 60 and now 70...

Your played like a fool. They laugh at you. Your in a semi sweating away. He's in his office getting a bonus. And it's airconditioned.

Socialism as it pertains to government is just a social body that creates a floor that nobody can fall beneath. Capitalists confuse that floor as a ceiling that limits your ability to obtain wealth.

How much the government controls an industry all comes down to how it affects the common good. If the industry is required to be privatized for the betterment of the common good, then socialism allows for that industry to be privatized.

Socialism can work with capitalism, or it can work without capitalism.. kinda maybe but obviously not as well. They are not competing with each other. And capitalism cannot exist without socialism. There's no example in the history of the universe of a capitalistic economy without socialism as its foundation.
